Should Michigan get a shot at the National Championship game?
I say that even though they are the second best team in the country, they had their shot at the Buckeyes. They lost. None of this "do-over" stuff.

If USC, Florida, and Arkansas all lose in the next two weeks, then maybe.
It would be hard to argue for ND, WV, or Louisville over scUM.

At the risk of  ...
We had our shot, and didn't get the job done against the #1 team in the nation. Ohio State won the Big Ten head-to-head and decidedly earned the trip to Glendale. I think USC and/or the SEC champ will overtake Michigan in the final rankings and end the rematch hype (although probably not all of the debate -- many of my fellow fans seem stuck in denial).
If our situations were reversed, I sure wouldn't want to face Ohio State a second time.
I cheer for Michigan to win, not other programs to lose solely for selfish benefit. M does not stand for Mulligan, and I wouldn't want it to.
Ohio State will have the distinction of being the first team in history to compete in (and likely win) three #1 vs. #2 matchups in the course of one season. The win in Columbus demonstrated that the Buckeyes are the most complete team in college football, and I don't think it fair to them, our great rivalry, or the other contenders in line to force a rematch.

I said no and this is why Michigan already had there chance to beat us so if USC wins there last 2 games they then should be the team to face us for the NC...

If anyone told me before the game that Michigan would play in Glendale with a victory or a loss, I would have laughed at him. I would have told him that it would be a total slap in the face to football played in the Pac-10, SEC and the Big East. I would have also told him that it would be a disservice to the coaches and players over the past 100 years that have given so much significance to the game on 11/18.
As a fan of college football, I have never considered myself a cynic. But again, I have never seen and experienced the kind of treachery that is being suggested.

Someone has posted the Michigan Block M with "Mulligan" across it. I have to admit, that one cracked me up. But all-in-all, once the dust settles, I suspect most people will realize its not in the best interest of the rivalry, or even college football, for that matter. There is not enough interconference play as it is. This outcome of this game has already been determined. Someone else need to take a shot so we can determine if we are really that good, or we're drinking our own bath water.
And why isn't this conversation in the main replay thread? |

They already had their shot. Do you mean a second chance?
