Who do you think should face the Buckeyes for the National Title?

Being raised in Florida,I'm kinda biased towards letting UF get a shot.Although Michigan sure played OSU very well.But the SEC is a very tough conference and Florida won their title and played the toughest schedule.Either one deserved a shot so it's a shame that we don't have a playoff system in place for college FB.That's the only way we'll ever get a "true" national champion.It should be decided on the field and not at someone's computer.I just have to say a big thank you to UCLA for giving Florida the opportunity!

Actually I hate the system. its ok for USC to lose at oregon st near the beginning of the year and they were #2 but had that happened 2 weeks ago they might not be in the top 8. So the system is screwed up. I truely don't believe florida stands a chance (blowout) michigan I think would give them a run for it. But florida won their conference.
But the Championship is suppose to be The Top 2 teams in the country not a division winner playoff for the championship

The system sucks big time. I don't understand why they can't put in a small 4 team playoff. Hell they can still keep the bowl games for it. It's only 1 extra game a year and there would be no arguement who the top 2 teams would be. They can even keep the BCS standings to determine the top 4 teams.

I'd be rooting for Ohio St if they were matched up against Michigan but I'm strongly in the corner of Florida for this game. I cannot forget what Urban Meyer did for Utah football and he has my full support for this game. Sorry Frank.

I think it'd have to be Michigan. Although Florida played a tough schedule they didnt impress me against South Carolina,Georgia and tennessee. Florida also lost to a non top 10 team (auburn) Michigan only lost to Ohio State by 3 points. They clearly should be in the game but the voters all of a sudden changed their votes so there wouldnt be a rematch

I agree that the system is messed up. Especially Bonds' observation about "when" you lose your game being the most important, but I ask Why change now???? NCAA football history is littered with teams that lost one game at the end of the year not getting to the title, including Ohio State two years in a row during the Eddie George years. Why the sudden interests in changing now that it is "poor Michigan and Lloyd Carr"? Michigan padded their schedule with Vanderbilt and TWO MAC teams, including a near loss to Ball St. They beat a Notre Dame team that didnt win a big game all year and lost what became the conference title game to Ohio State. The rest of the Big 10, though it hurts to admit it, is pretty weak. Florida beat LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida State, S. Carolina and convincingly won their title game over Arkansas. I would think that beating all those teams is at least the equal of beating Notre Dame. Though many will site the Auburn game as a negative, playing at Auburn is no simple task and really it was 4 point game with the exception of a fluke defensive TD with no time left providing the final margin of victory. I personally feel that Florida is the correct choice and they will get steam rolled by THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY. Sorry Jazz.
