FLORIDA FOOTBALL: FOOD FOR A MAN'S SOUL
Michigan a Top 5 Team? Will The Voters Ever Learn?
Simple explanation:

| Florida schedule | Michigan schedule |
If you scroll your mental DVR back to December of 2006, you’ll remember the endless debates and infighting over who more deserved an opportunity to play Ohio State in the BCS National Championship game. On one hand, you had Michigan, who was 11-1 at that time, fresh off a loss to Ohio State in “The Game.” On the other, you had Florida, the SEC Champion, who was 12-1, fresh off a victory over Arkansas in the SEC CG.
In retrospect, the debate seems silly even before one considers the eventual outcome of the two Big 10 “powers” in their respective bowl games. Michigan was not a conference champion. Their strength of schedule was not even close to that of the Gators. Nor had they maintained a late season winning streak. They didn’t have as many wins as Florida, and they’d already played the same team they hoped to go up against again. On paper, it would appear obvious to any dispassionate observer that Michigan had shot their load and squandered their chance.
