Nebraska lost.

They were up 21-10 at half-time over UCLA but somehow managed to sparty it and lose 41-10...

I thought that they fixed the defensive problems after the first half but they came back (defensive issues) in a big way.

that was ugly. the b1g needed that like the B1G needed UM to roll. UW needs to roll ASU. if not, overall horrible day for th eB1G.

Bo Pelini- defensive genius.

Who cares about the B1G record. UM is all I care about.

How much relevance do you think conference strength has to do with BCS / NC bids?

Well, I can tell you this. If UM is 13-0 or if OSU is 13-0 after the B1G championship game, they will be in the NC game no doubt.

So, say if Oregon, Alabama & Michigan goes undefeated, you still think Michigan will still be in NC game? After the game today, I highly doubt that.

Yep, they sell tickets.

I'd like to get to 13-0 to be able to worry about it.

A 0 loss Oregon or Stanford get in the NC game over Michigan
A 0 loss Alabama, Georgia, or LSU gets in the NC game over Michigan

Those aren't even worth debating.

A 0 loss Clemson vs a 0 loss Michigan would be close.

But if the Big 10 dominated their OOC games and showed they are clearly the 2nd best conference in CFB, then you can't keep the undefeated conference champ out of the NC.

If we were talking about BCS Bowls that pick their participants, sure. This is why Michigan played in the Sugar Bowl though they were not a top 8 team.

However, the BCS pits the #1 team vs the #2 team. There is no way Michigan jumps an undefeated Oregon, Stanford, LSU, or Alabama in the BCS rankings.

Wow people are debating BCS games and NC games after today???? Hats off to you guys. You are the masters of blocking out reality.

Strawman much? My point was that strength of conference is important.

I am not in this debate sir. I just found it laughable that there is a debate on whether Michigan would make the BCS or even NC over team X or Y after almost losing to Akron.

I apologize for derailing this very important and worthwhile debate.

So then you're on my side in the debate. Got it.

Ahhhhhhhh, I don't think selling tickets is part of the equation to pick the teams for the NC game, fish!

Maybe for the other bowl games, but not the NC game!

anyway.....GO BLUE! Beat UConn!

It definitely is.  Not officially, but they will get the teams they want in there.

The teams they want in there bring the most money. With the enormous fan base that Michigan has, why haven't we been there yet?

Because our record hasn't been good enough.
