Pillow here is where you make your money. Notre Dame will have a very difficult time stopping USC. Quinn has been beating up sissy teams although I think he is a heck of a QB, even better than Troy Smith and I am saying this after the display yesterday. The Irish faithful bet in mass. Cant wait to see this line.

I agree with Oracle on this one. A rematch on a neutral field for all the marbles.

Florida would be my second choice if they win out. Their loss wasn't a bad one and it was on the road.

I really don't get the love for USC. They had several close calls with mediocre competition and lost to an unranked team. I'm a Notre Dame fan and hope they have one more miracle saved for the Trojans. But ND doesn't deserve it either after that Michigan loss at home.

Arkansas, sorry, waxed at home.

Isn't that really the point?
If you are taking a one loss team you have to toss out the teams who lost at home, sorry but you don't deserve to go. I'm a ND fan, as big as they get but ND has absolutely no business even being mentioned in the same sentence as title game. fact is that they lost at home to Michigan, over and out.
USC? You gotta be kidding me right? I mean, they have less claim to it than ND does and ND doesn't have any claim. USC has like less than zero business in there. Newsflash, the overhyped trojans lost to an unranked team, I see no way anyone with a brain who isnt biased could even begin to make a case for them.
Ark lost at home as well, later folks.
Comes down to the Gators as the only other logical alternative over Mich and they lost a tough road game as well in a tough conference. If they win the next two I can understand support for them, but lets face it. A road loss to Auburn(twice beaten) is not the same as a narrow road loss to number one.
Michigan deserves to go, and I think they win the game at a neutral site.
Only team who can make a case besided Mich is the gators. Im a huge ND fan but ND fans and USC fans who say either team has a right to go are pretty dumb. How do you put ND in over the team that trashed em at home? how do you stick USC in there when they got beat by an unranked team in that powder puff conference. The SEC women's volleyball teams are tougher than the PAC-10 guys.

Yeah, I'm thinking that sea of red was worth about three points to the Buckeyes. Maybe more. These teams were one and two going into the game and I saw nothing that should change that. Line 'em up and do it again!

ND is getting no respect from the media and they shouldn't in terms of the title game. But the same media thinks it would be a great accomplishment for USC to beat ND and UCLA (a team that the lowly Irish have beaten).

Let's hope the next two weeks games will fix what the BCS will find a way to mess up otherwise.

Somebody "wise than us" will have to explain the whole USC thing, cause I'm not getting it, not even a little bit.

I do not favor a rematch. Michigan had their shot. You lose, you go to the back of the line just like every other team that has been number 2 this year. The majority of folks that want to see this rematch are folks that favor the Big Ten conference.

i can see michigan remaining at number two. usc's one loss was not to ohio st, but to a lesser team. a rematch could happen, and i don't see any reason why they shouldn't meet just because they met once this year already.

ark will hopefully lose vs lsu next week. if not, then florida should take them to school--of course EVERY week since usc, i've been waiting for them to lose again. ark's chances of getting a title shot are slim to none.

anxiously awaiting the new bcs line. no way usc should move ahead of michigan, not knowing the season both have had. fla shouldn't move up either.
