How can anyone completely dismiss Michigan? The explanations Ive seen here are completely without merit.
1) Michigan had their shot - ok, so since when was the national title game played at Buckeye stadium? Is the national title game not supposed to be played on neutral ground? Also, by that logic, USC had their shot against Oregon St. By the way, who won that game?
2)Michigan is tied for second in their conference - By whose measure? Yes they and Wisconsin have the same number of Big 10 losses, but Michigan has the heads up. Also, any team in the nation would be 2nd if they played in the Big 10.
3)USC has higher quality wins - really? It is impressive that USC beat Arkansas(without a healthy McFadden)(8), Cal(21), and ND(12), but I think that Michigan's wins over ND(12), Winsconsin(7), and Penn St(27)are very comparable.
I'm not trying to argue against USC, I think that they are a strong team and deserve a shot. I am simply arguing against those who say that Michigan doesn't.
