Thank the lord the BCS did the right thing and put Florida into the National Championship game. Now I'm not saying the BCS "did its job" because Michigan has a gripe and anything short of a 4 team playoff isn't ok in my book, but the reality of the situation is that Florida deserves to play for the national championship.
Going 11-1 in the SEC and winning the SEC championship game is an impressive feat. Some may say that the SEC is overrated, but I believe just the opposite. The SEC is deep...and that depth makes it the toughest conference in the country.
Teams like Michigan, Ohio Sate, and Notre Dame play such a weak schedule, they can afford to come out flat every now and then. Against Army, Notre Dame was down 3-0 after the 1st quarter. Against a 2-7 Northwestern (A team that lost to 1AA New Hampshire) Michigan only held a 7-0 lead after 1, and a 10-0 lead at the half. If they were playing a middle of the road team from the SEC, that inability to get off to a good start puts them down at the half - and they're not coming back from that. Michigan received the benefit of playing in a horrendous conference, and only had to play 1 legitimate team this year (Ohio State) and 2 top 15 teams (Wisc./ND).
If Michigan plays the schedule that Florida did, they lose a minimum of 2 games. MINIMUM.
Go Gators.
