Glendale Here We Come!

Well, I guess I'm not technically headed to Glendale. We opted to buy the new flat panel HDTV instead. I also just realized that I have a jury trial that begins the morning after the National Championship game. So, as thrilled as I am that OSU is making it's second appearance in 5 years, it looks as though I'll be watching the game later in the week:(

The Rice household is obviously beaming over Saturday night's victory over MI. Based on the polls out today, I think that nearly the entire nation is in agreement: MI remains the #2 team in the Nation. Accordingly, I think it only makes sense that MI face OSU in the National Championship, right? What a surprise, an SEC coach doesn't agree:

Florida coach Urban Meyer said Sunday a rematch between Michigan and Ohio State would be cause for immediate change to the BCS.
"If that does happen, all the (university) presidents need to get together immediately and put together a playoff system," he said. "I mean like now, January or whenever to get that done."

Is he serious? FL struggled against Vandy and GA and barely won against SC and TN. Yet Meyers thinks the BCS is flawed if MI and OSU meet again? Is he kidding? Is he disputing that MI is the #2 team in the nation. Please keep in mind that 1. As an Ohio native, the Wolverines are my sworn enemy and 2. As much as they deserve to be in Glendale, I'd be perfectly happy if OSU were to meet another team (not anxious to go through the anxiety of last weekend again). But, fair is fair...and right now, fair is to have a rematch in my opinion. Because of strength of schedule, if USC wins out, I do understand how they could jump into the #2 position....but they lost to unranked Oregon State! MI lost only to the #1 team in the nation...by only a field goal.

To sum it up, Urban Meyer just won himself a position up there with Tuberville as a snot-nosed whiner!!!

In truth, I would love nothing better than for FL to get the bid to the National Championship game. The only thing sweeter than a Tennessee victory over the Gators would have to be the Buckeyes kicking the crap out of them!!!
