There isn't going to be a rematch.
No. 1 Ohio State will play No. 2 Florida, not Michigan, for the Bowl Championship Series national title on Jan. 8 in Glendale, Ariz.
According to a BCS source, Florida moved from fourth to second today ahead of No. 3 Michigan in the final BCS standings.
An official announcement will come this evening in a televised unveiling on Fox.
The news means that USC will play Michigan, not Louisiana State, in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
LSU had pre-sold more than 42,000 tickets in advance of making its first-ever Rose Bowl appearance, but UCLA's upset win over previously No. 2 USC on Saturday, coupled with Florida's win over Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference championship game, changed the final pairings.
The BCS bowl lineup is now expected to be:
Rose: USC vs. Michigan.
Sugar: Notre Dame vs. LSU.
Orange: Louisville vs. Wake Forest.
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Boise State.
Florida's jump over No. 3 Michigan, which was idle Saturday and has not played since a three-point loss to No. 1 Ohio State on Nov. 18, likely will cause more uproar in BCS circles.

Really thats how I describe everybody? Dont think so, however your attitudes and actions, insults and a plethora of other ineptitudes have been over the line and are reminiscent of my prior description of a drunk bandwagoner defending his team and insulting the other. I of course dont expect you to agree with me, but I at least let you know that your actions are most highly in appropriate. Now go and let us know how wrong we all are and how right you are.
Actually, there has been only one person on here whining all afternoon, and to be honest it is getting really really annoying.
I think they are trying to replicate the naming of the 64 team field for March Madness....and it isn't working...LOL
Oh really, just who is exactly is "my" team?
Wow, LSU vs. Notre Dame in the Sugar. I thought LSU would be headed to Pasadena.
Urban Myers just went up a bunch in my book, just interviewed and he stood by his comments that a playoff is needed, that right now we don't know who is actually #1 because it is impossible to know for sure in this system and depends too much on odd breaks in how the season goes. Says he expects we'll get a playoff soon.
In contrast, Jim Tressel completely danced around the question. What a gutless ass, because he knows he's always going to ride high in the polls and always has a shot at gaming the system, just like Texas, USC, and Notre Dame.
I think the SEC is overrated, full of blowhards, and OSU is the better team (and Michigan, but they just got their shot), but flip me onto the Florida bandwagon for this game. Any coach honest enough to continue to advocate for a playoff, even when they just benefited from the system, has me as a fan. (Unlike that hypocrite Mike Belloti in Oregon, who flipped-flopped as soon as the BCS system came around and benefited him.)
Go Florida!
LOL...nope, lucky them, they get stay in Louisiana.../s
OK Herbstriet needs to just shut up. He is almost soundling like he is scared to death that Florida is playing his alma mater.
don't read my posts skip them over.
If you have ever listened to the Ticket....someone was saying on there last week...that most "pros" think that the SEC is the best football conference..
But, it seems like an SEC team rarely wins the National Championship.
Wow, over on ESPN2 Kirk Herbstreit is majorly pissed that Florida jumped Michigan. I don't recall seeing him this ticked before.
Basically saying that it should be based on who you think are the 2 best teams.
He seems to be pretty upset that Michigan got kicked down.
Can FOX do anything right? What an absolutly crappy show, even worse than EasternSeaboardProgrammingNetwork.
Don't bother me at all just skip my posts and don't read them. You sound to me like a staker and I don't need your attention at all. I don't care what you think of me if you continue to insult me we will go to free republic and they can go over the posts. Just leave me alone.Period!

SUGAR BOWL IS LSU vs NOTRE DAME ...meaning USC vs MICHIGAN for the ROSES.
