If only Florida hadn't scheduled Western Carolina, chances are they would be ahead of Michigan in the computers.
If NCAA not mandated a 12-game schedule, making Florida scramble to find another opponent on short notice, then they would be ahead of Michigan in the computers.
Just compare the schedules side by side. Using the USA Today top 25 rankings and CFN's top 119 for the rest, you can see that side by side, Florida had the more difficlut schedule and defeated a much more impressive slate of teams than Michigan did. The bowl eligible teams of both teams are bolded.

* Michigan played 10 teams that are bowl eligible while Michigan polayed on 6 teams that are bowl eligible.
* Florida won its conference division championship and overall conference championship.

If Michigan is selected to play Ohio State for the ational champiuonship game and wins, whats next?...Will we have folks calling for a best two out of three....Please, get real.
Quit saying Michigan should go. They'll come and take you away.
