WHY IS FLORIDA IN THE NATional CHAMP.?

Question

Honeslty how could Florida jump Michigan in the BCS when they beat Vaderbilt by 3 and lost to Auburn who is unranked and they beat Arkansas by 10 when Arkansa's best player (who is also the best all around player in the Nation) i mean Michigan only lost to Ohio State who is ranked one i mean honestly

Answer 1

Because Ohio State already beat Michigan,and has not beat Florida yet,what is next, two out of three,three out of five.

Answer 2

It's simple -- the coaches who vote in the Harris poll and the sportswriters who vote in the BCS don't want a Michigan-Ohio State rematch. It's a crock when you think about it. Remember the 1996 BCS Championship game? That was the year Florida beat Florida State by 3 points to win the conference (sound familiar?) but which two teams ended up playing each other for all the marbles? You guessed it -- ended up being a re-match between Florida and Florida State.

P.S.: Auburn may be unranked now, but Auburn was ranked #11 when they played Florida. On the flipside, however, Notre Dame was ranked #2 when the Wolverines DESTROYED them, and the Wisconsin Badgers, who are now ranked #5 or #6 depending on which poll you favor, only lost one game this year, and guess who they lost to? Gee, was it Michigan by two touchdowns?

Answer 3

OK, for the umpteenth time -

Florida beat more teams in the Top 25 than Michigan did (3 to 2).
Florida beat fewer teams with losing records than Michigan did (3 to 5).
Florida beat more teams with winning records than Michigan did (7 to 4).
Florida won its conference title in the toughest conference in the nation; Michigan didn't win the conference title in a conference that had a very down year (look beyond the top 3 and see how bad the other 8 in the Big Ten blow).

Enough for you?
