What I don't understand is how Michigan and Ohio State didn't get a re-match in '06? Michigan was ranked #2 even after losing to Ohio State but they were jumped by Florida AFTER the Championship week. How can you punish a team for not playing a game, but reward another for playing and winning. This is what's wrong with the BCS. If Michigan was ranked #3 going into that week, it wouldn't be an issue. This is why the Big Ten wanted a Championship game and we saw such a dramatic shift in conference alignment. Blame the BCS for tearing up the Big 12, Big East, and every other AQ conference...
