I'm sure you just "happened" to pick the year that Michigan won the national championship.

damn....I went back over Sagarin ratings
Big10 was last in 2001 and 2002 among major conferences. Funny, wasn't that when Ohio State ran the table.

Is the pattern showing yet?

Teams that run the table often come from down conferences. Arguing for two big10 teams this year would be nearly equivalent to arguing for Louisville-West Virginia rematch had they not stubbed their toes later in the year.
Fortunately, the BigEast was strong enough to knock both those teams with another loss, whereas the big10 wasn't strong enough to test Michigan and Ohio State over and over.

Speaking of Sagarin, I find it funny you seem to like it so much, but you keep arguing Florida had such a tough schedule compared to Michigan's. Sagarin says Michigan's was harder, and that Michigan is better. Comments?
