What bowl will your team be playing in?

His irrelevant 'Noles are playing Notre Dame. Remember when FSU was ranked #5 to start the year? Haha

Not sure how you came to that conclusion...

To pair the top 2 teams, and to give non-AQ's a chance at a marquee bowl they otherwise would have had a 0% chance of getting into before the BCS system.

Those aren't the only reasons, but 2 of the main ones.

It's just retarded then. To knock a team for playing an additional game. Michigan didn't even get the chance to play in that game, they weren't good enough.

I'm saying... Michigan didn't even play in the B1G title game; therefore to sit there and say "Well Michigan State has 1 more loss than Michigan does... therefore Michigan > Michigan State" is childs play. MSU only has that extra loss because they made the B1G title game; a feat that Michigan couldn't do. So why should Michigan State be punished for that extra loss when you could argue that if they didn't make it, then Michigan might have, and Michigan might have that extra "L" that Michigan State now has.

Now... as for the Alabama piece... Alabama and Arkansas would [arguably] be deserving of a BCS birth even with the addition of an extra "L." Michigan, on the other hand, would NOT be deserving of a BCS birth if they had an additional "L." Thus my point in saying that your comparison is irrational.

Michigan (IMO) is barely deserving of the bid they got without that extra "L." Teams like Boise State, Kansas State, and Arkansas (yes, I know... you can't have more than 3 schools from one conference), S. Carolina, Baylor, and Michigan State are all (IMO) more deserving than Michigan.

You need to read one more up. It was the basis for the argument which you agree upon.

I said no such thing. Take Michigan out of it. I said losing 3 games is the easiest way out of the BCS. Period. Has nothing to do with Michigan.

Sorry, but you can't complain about LOSING your conference title game for your 3rd loss, and being excluded from the BCS. Again, it has nothing to do with Michigan. You had the opportunity on the field to get it done, but didn't.

Huh?

Arguably though.
