IF Michigan ends up number two in the final standings, I agree.
How can it be a "national championship" if the top two teams don't play?
I understand the feeling that a team that doesn't win its conference shouldn't be national championship, but I think the game should be between the top two teams...
Maybe a good argument for a playoff system.

Your team has a lot to be proud of. Callahan, I think is still learning how to be a college coach all over again. His post game comments (unlike the infamous 'effin hillbillies' retort in '03) were pretty classy. That is all subject to change if he whines about officiating or anything of that nature, but so far -- huge improvement.
Your front 4 on the defense were incredible, Blake couldn't cut it at head coach, but he's clearly an excellent position coach. I understand that they're all gone next year? Your LBs were great at bottling up Oklahoma's run. I think the injury to #71, Trent Williams contributed to that though.
Your defensive weakness is in your secondary. The corners are generally small and they have a really bad habit of getting beat. Grixby was having a real problem with Kelly. He was clearly just out-talented back there. I have no idea why NU's defensive staff didn't try someone else on Kelly.
I'm not sure if it was NU's offensive line being terrible or Oklahoma's pass rush that was great -- perhaps a combination of the two that had Zac so rattled all night. NU's offense relies a lot on good protection and timing. Oklahoma clearly took that away from them with its dominating pass rush. That was probably, more than anything else what decided the game. Zac was hurried into throwing a lot of bad passes resulting in turnovers. If NU's defense wasn't so stout, this game would have been a rout.

^^^ I have to follow that?
It should be Florida & Ohio State. Period. The Gators might have beat my beloved Bulldawgs, but the Gators beat a lot of tough teams in the country's toughest conference. *gasp* And they are the 2006 SEC Champs. Michigan is no one's champ, so why should they play for a National Championship? Michigan also didn't beat three Top 20 teams. IMO (with tons of bias), Michigan is not the team that Florida is-- and Michgan already blew their shot with Ohio State.
Besides, the BCS owes the SEC after Auburn was snubbed two years ago. Recognize the greatness of the SEC! OK, at least the coaches, players, and other voters.

When is the last time the SEC got a national championship? No one can say that it's due to a lack of skill.

I don't disagree with anything you said - it's all spot on. With this game as a prime example, I really think the main difference right now between Oklahoma/Texas/USC and Nebraska is we have 2 solid recruiting classes, compared to 5+ for the other teams - Frank Solich really left our cupboards bare - and while I think we have all the coaching we need, we're sorely lacking physical talent. Taylor and our front 4 on defense are all gone next year, but Callahan's excellent recruiting the past few years will hopefully mean a short transition - getting Keller from ASU is huge - we have a QB with DI experience and a full year redshirted under Callahan to learn his offense.
Nebraska did deserve to be in the Championship game - there's no doubt about that. They just now need to make the next step and win it.

Good question! According to Wikipedia (because I'm not searching all day), LSU shared the championship with USC in 2003, but Tennessee won outright in 1998.

Thanks. Honestly, I just started really caring about college ball after 2004. I went to Georgia when Ray Goff and Jim Donnan were coaching, so most of the campus was apathetic to Georgia football back in the late '90s.

Not sure if this means much of anything but AP, Coaches, CBS and USAToday all have the following 1, 2, and 3: Ohio, Florida, and Michigan.

I can't find any proof of it, but I was told about an hour ago that the bcs rankings were leaked...

I heard that too. I couldn't find anything, though.
I don't think Michigan should be there, because they didn't win their conference. How can you battle to be the best team in the country if you're not even the best team in the conference?
Since my stupid college (and grad school) athletic conference doesn't do postseason football, and in part because I'm a Florida native, I am rooting for my Gators.

Yes that was the leak I heard!
It's almost two good to be true... two national championships in 2006! I hope most of all that it might send some money UF's way because I'm sick of budget cuts!
