    It's also very cheap to compare their common victory over Vandy. Mich played them at home and UF played them on the road. Also UF was up 25-6 going into the 4th, and we went conservative.

    You said "So, with fairly even schedules, which teams were more in danger of losing? "

    Mich played c. mich, n'western, ball st, indiana
    UF played, w.carolina, so miss, and UCF

    Mich played more cupcake teams and 1 less game than UF. Michigan played 5 non bowl eligable teams and UF only played 3 non bowl eligable teams.

    I dont have exact numbers on this, but SEC is tougher than big 10, i believe SEC's out of conference record against major conferences is better and more impressive than that of the big 10. These only include a game in which the opponent was a top 25 team

    Edit:
    Big 10 wins: OSU/texas, MICH nd
    Big 10 losses: Minn/Cal, MSU/ND

    SEC wins: Tenn/cal, Georgia/GT, s.carolina/clemson
    SEC losses: Kentucky/UL, ark/usc (no mcfadden)

    ok, thats kind of a push, but we do have 3 wins against top 25 OOC teams while you guys have 2

    Most of Mich's bowl eligable teams were 6 game winners, so while you beat us in that category in margin of victory, you didn't play as many top teams which factor into that margin of victory. Also UF played 5 top 25 defeses which tend to keep the score of the game down so its harder to have a higher margin of victory.

    All this talk makes me wish somehow UF and Mich could play, that would be a good game in my mind.

    Check how evenly matched these two teams are in terms of NCAA rankings (keep in mind i still think UF's SOS is tougher)

    I do like your unis and color, even though I bleed orange a blue now. I like our fight song, and nothing compares to The Swamp, which is why it's rated the best stadium in the nation year after year.

    Florida will be #2 because Michigan's best win [Notre Dame] is further tarnished by the USC loss. I don't think Gator fans have anything to worry about.

    Florida should play Ohio State.

    If Florida does not play them, then the choice should be Boise State. In a way, I actually think Boise State deserves it the most.

    Binge,
    Neyland is like 3k behind the Big House. It is the biggest stadium for football in the known universe - as RD says.

    Edit - there was/is/something like that talk of a Tennessee-Virgina Tech matchup in the Bristol Motor Speedway (NASCAR venue) - that would be like 60k bigger than the Big House...



    My opinion is not about this SOS and who played whom - it's who I think will put up a better fight.
    I already said I think Michigan will put up a better fight. I envision the '95 Fiesta all over again if Fla gets in. And no one wants to see that (except OSU* fans).

    Good thing your not a voter then. I'm somewhat confident UF will get in...i'm going to be in suspence all day. No one gave UF a chance against akransas and look what happened. No one is giving us a chance at OSU. OSU better watch out if we go, upset city baby.

    Your = you're or you are and suspence = suspense

    Regardless of spelling - I don't think many people picked Arky to win esp. after LSU beat them. Not sure where you guys are getting that from.

    Something else I just thought of that makes my pick of Michigan to the championship even better is that LSU will end up in the Rose. That is a better game than SC-Michigan (traditional Rose Bowl matchup be damned). Imagine the buildup on that one???

    Most of the sharp betters around the nation were fading florida and were on arkansas last week. Also the USA Today Poll just came out, FL is number 2....yea baby, for all you gator haters out there, I know what it feels like to be a ND fan.

    Edit : we are also number 2 in the ap poll, OSU here we come!!!

    Agreed at RD. Get ready for the talk of OSU* '06 being the best ever...

    Meh. They jumped the gun because of some report down here.

    Just like Spurrier was going to Bama or Miami - don't count your chickens before they hatch.


    So - are you and CED59 now enemies?
    And who will the Buckeyes root for in the Rose? The arch-***** Wolervines or the hated Trojans?
