  • Michigan didn't really complain then got screwed then and they aren't very vocal about it now when the South has changed its story. The silence about it is very telling. If there is no public complaining, I can only surmise Michigan is interested in keeping the status quo by not disturbing the Southerners party.

      I'm sorry but after 06 there is no way they could say Michigan benefits from the BCS
      With the fervor of the outrage it could have fooled me.

        • That might be a pleasing euphemism to tell yourself.

            Like I said, I really don't care much about the name of the bowl we go to if it isn't the Rose or the BcS title game. It could be any New Year's Day(ish) game.

            • If UofM was the 3rd ranked team then you know they would be fighting for it, tooth and nail (justifiably). But that ins't the scenario.

                Because I'd rather be Lloyd Carr than the loser SEC coaches whining like 5 year old girls. All BCS championships are tainted as far as I'm concerned.

                • Still, let’s be clear and candid. If Oklahoma State were named “Ohio State,” “Michigan,” “USC,” “Florida” or “Oklahoma” it would be making travel plans for New Orleans
                  The only logical explanation is:
                  I'm about to die and this is my Jacob's Ladder

                  • That makes sense, when we think of classy, you are the first to come to mind.

                      I'm not sure about that one NBT.

                        • I agree with Deacon. One of those teams with okstates resume would be enough to push it up. Mainly because okstate almost made it themselves.

                            I was confused, I thought you were mentioning the Sugar Bowl and not the BCS championship. You are right on those teams, Michigan included, as part of the old boys club they would have given preferential treatment.

                            • The schools did "earn" their status over the years. That said, I think it's a lame system.
