USC upset; U-M eyes rematch / DETROIT FREE PRESS STAFF REPORT / December 2, 2006 It's looking like a rematch. Michigan fans should thank UCLA. The Bruins upset No. 2 Southern Cal, 13-9, likely pushing Michigan into the national championship game against Ohio State. But could the pollsters ruin it for the Wolverines? Since USC lost, it comes down to Michigan and Florida. Michigan is ranked No. 3, Florida No. 4 in the Bowl Championship Series standings. Florida is playing Arkansas in the SEC championship and leads 38-28 in the fourth quarter. The Gators would not only have to beat the Razorbacks, but beat them soundly in order to pass idle Michigan. "It depends on how impressive (the Gators) are," BCS expert Jerry Palm of collegebcs.com told the Washington Post this week. "They're going to pass Michigan in the computers if they win, but they need to change the minds of some voters. The only way to do that is win impressively." The BCS is comprised of one-third computer rankings and two-thirds polls (the coaches' poll and the Harris poll). Michigan is No. 3 in both polls, Florida No. 4. Poll voters will have to decide if they want to move Florida ahead of Michigan. Could it happen? Sure, if enough voters think they would rather see the Gators against Ohio State instead of a rematch. We'll find out Sunday, when the final polls and BCS standings are released. The official word will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on Fox. Copyright © 2006 Detroit Free Press Inc.
