rmackman Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 2006 Basketball Champions and now they're in the Football National Championship! What a year to be a Gators fan! The University of Florida Gators played one of the toughest schedules in the toughest division and came out with just a scratch. They've played hard and deserve to go to the BCS Championship after winning the SEC. They may not be as exciting, they may rely on their defense, but they're still deserving. Now, my uncle lives in Phoenix...so that takes care of a place to sleep. The question is HOW CAN I GET TICKETS!?!?! GOOOOO GATORS! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 What is it with everyone and just writing off Florida all of a sudden? They played in what many considered the nation's toughest conference and managed to win when they needed to win.So, I say this to the Florida haters: Keep your yaps shut and let the players for both Ohio State and Florida settle this on January 8th in Glendale.

NJTank Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well Ohio state has beaten Michigan and I think this is the right match up and I think the Buckeyes will win again they are the best team this year no doubt. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 So, if Florida and Michigan both win, will we see a split championship?Don't think so, as our last instance of a split title, Southern Cal was #1 in both polls. This time, Florida and Ohio State are both 1-2 in the polls, so it would take a monumental shift for the AP to pick Michigan over Florida, especially if Florida beats Ohio State, something Michigan failed to do.

pcgd Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 If florida barely wins...and Michigan wins handily, I think you can consider all three teams "National Champions"And that's why this system sucks. Its a system where a team can drop out of the number 2 position twice, without playing a game. Where losing to the number 9 team by 10, is better than losing to the number 1 team by 3. Then again, Florida beat the now number 4 team by 13 while Michigan "only" beat the number 7 team by 14.Yeah I know, Michigan had their shot. What if Auburn had gone undefeated and not Ohio State? Would Florida get to play Auburn? I mean, they had their chance already right? I personally think it should be michigan, but I'm a big ten fan. I think both Michigan and Florida are deserving. And I think you can make arguements that Wisconsin and Boise State are getting snubbed as well. Wisconsin only lost once and it was to Michigan. Yes, they didn't play Ohio State, but Ohio State could have lost to them. Maybe this is a Big Ten problem and they should restrict the Big Ten to playing 2 non conference games so you could play all the teams at least once. But then you'd have to play a conference game to open the season. The best thing would be to add Missouri or Notre Dame (wouldn't EVER happen) to the Big Ten and then you could have 2 Divisions. While with Boise State, they didn't lose....I Digress...Its just so stupid that out of the last 8 times there has been a BCS "Champion" only twice there wasn't a controversy of some kind. I think I'd rather have the old system. It was flawed but it didn't pretend it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Perhaps did Michigan get #2 in the APNo, top 4 in all polls were the same. OSU, Florida, Michigan, LSU. The next 4 were a combination of Wisconsin, USC, Oklahoma, and Louisville. In the Harris Interactive, some idiot (former Washington State coach Jim Walden) gave Florida a number 1 vote. Someone (a Writer for Pitt) voted Louisville number 2 in it as well.Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'll say this about the Michigan and Florida coaches: Lloyd Carr has shown a lot more class than Urban Whiner. I mean, Meyer was complaining BEFORE the votes were cast while Carr, though clearly disappointed Sunday, remained diplomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 So, if Florida and Michigan both win, will we see a split championship?Don't think so, as our last instance of a split title, Southern Cal was #1 in both polls. This time, Florida and Ohio State are both 1-2 in the polls, so it would take a monumental shift for the AP to pick Michigan over Florida, especially if Florida beats Ohio State, something Michigan failed to do.But this would also be on a neutral field. If Florida beats Ohio State at the last second or does so with the aid of a officiating error, then would that really be more impressive than going to Ohio State and losing by three? I think not. Particularly if Michigan blows whomever they play out of the water completely.My take on this is that I'm kind of indifferent. I didn't want to see a rematch between Michigan and Ohio State, but at the same time, I think Michigan is very obviously the second best team in the Nation. While Florida came out of the toughest conference in the Nation, they struggled through it. Beating South Carolina by one on the strength of a blocked FG? Vanderbilt by six? A bad Georgia team by seven? A terrible Florida State team by seven? Color me unimpressed. They should also be punished for the stupidity of playing Western Carolina in week eleven.

They should also be punished for the stupidity of playing Western Carolina in week eleven.It's not stupidity. The Gators had no choice. They tried to get a ton of schools to come play them that week, and they all said no. Some of the schools said that late in the season they didn't want to risk anything playing a high ranked team, others said we'll only play you if you are the road team. Florida essentially had a choice: Play a Divsion 2 team who needs the money or take a 2nd bye week. Taking a 2nd bye week would have been dumb, so they chose option A. Too bad the other schools were too scared to play Florida. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.
