Florida deserves to be in the NC game. Michigan is not even a conferenne champion and already lost to Ohio State.
Let us see how the BCS screws the SEC over this time around.
They are not alone, which is what this is all about. (I kinda like the argument above for Boise State, too!)

Neither is a disqualifier for getting a bid in the current (horrible) system. They only need to be one of the top two teams in the nation, which they are.

THAT is one problem for me. I've been a big SEC fan all season, and lamented how some great teams won't end up in the top 12 because they all have to play each other. Tennessee's three losses were all to teams in the top EIGHT! (The same goes for Penn St... four losses, all to teams in the top ten, does not mean you're not at least in the top 25.)
However, every time I watched Florida play, I kept wondering how they could truly be a contender. They just don't have a solid team, nor could they ever put a game away. Five of their wins were a single play away from a loss or overtime. Beating TENN, ARK, LSU, and UGA in a season is great, but the close calls against inferior opponents just won't let me root for them. (Michigan had only one similar "bad win", against Ball State, as they looked ahead to the OSU pre-championship game.)
