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.

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!

No, Herbstreit has always been a straight-shooter, never a homer. He just honestly believes that Michigan is a better team than Florida (as do I) and feels that the berth should go to the top 2 teams and factors such as a rematch shouldn't be a factor (I disagree.)
Sheesh. I am convinced that Notre Dame could go 1-11 and someone, somehow, would find a way to sneak them into a bowl game.
Lou Holtz : LSU vs Notre Dame will be one heck of a matchup
Mark May : Yeah for maybe a quarter.
If it was about ratings the national championship game would always involve Notre Dame. Insider information has it that they bring the greatest advertising dollars and ratings.
Including the ones that you post 5 times in a row?
Good. Holtz is another fraudulent sham who has zero business being on TV.
Sounds like a great bowl week (or two) coming up!!!
But this year (and most years, for that matter) they don't even merit consideration.
I really wasn't going to bother answering you or the other fool who sounds to me like a staker,but where were the highjackers from, also who caused the trouble for Gw in the 2000 election , where was Teri Shivao from ,sounds to me like I did not do anything them they brought it on by their own actions,just going by history.If history bothers you sorry!
Did you really need to say that five times?
BRING IT ON!!!
1992 Alabama
1996 Florida
1998 Tennessee
2004 LSU
as many times as you need to understand it. I will repeat the post if you still don't get it.
that's "you bet they'd be chosen."
ORANGE BOWL : Louisville 48 Wake Forest 35
FIESTA BOWL : OKLAHOMA 31 BOISE ST 17
SUGAR BOWL : LSU 45 NOTRE DAME 24
ROSE BOWL : USC 38 MICHIGAN 35 (UPSET SPECIAL)
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP : OHIO ST 38 FLORIDA 24
And just because I am a Fan :
PEACH BOWL (its true name forever) : Georgia 23 Va Tech 21
With the final standings out, here is how my eight-team playoff system would seed them:
8) #14 Wake Forest at 1) #1 Ohio State
7) #11 Notre Dame at 2) #2 Florida
6) #10 Oklahoma at 3) #5 USC
5) #8 Boise State at 4) #6 Louisville
The folks that mattered decided you should have it uncontested.
Like it or not and all the whiny bs aside, you earned it and it is, honestly, well deserved!
Seriously, CONGRATULATIONS!!
