Let the bitching commence

So far, I've only seen a little bit of whining from fans of TTUN, but I'm sure a lot more of it will come soon.

Did Michigan deserve a chance? Sure they did.
They deserve it more than Florida? No, they didn't. It was really, really close, though.

Here's the way I see it;

  • When Michigan took the field against Ohio State, they KNEW that they would make the Championship Game with a win. They lost.
  • When USC took the field against UCLA, they KNEW that they would make the Championship Game with a win. They lost.
  • When Florida took the field against Arkansas, they had a chance to make the Championship Game with a win. They won.
  • When Ohio State took the field against Michigan, they KNEW that they would make the Championship Game with a win. They won.

Two teams wanted it more when the final battle took place. Two teams did not.

It's that simple.

Oh, and for everybody who begins the whine of "Ali/Frazier had a rematch, why can't we do it too", allow me to remind you that Ali and Frazier fought three times....but it took FOUR YEARS for those three fights. Michigan shall have their rematch, just like Ali and Frazier did....next year.

Thats an interesting way at looking at, with the two teams that won their last game going to the title game. Winning is important go figure.
