Assuming BCS...who do you want? ...and where?

Submitted by Mr. Yost on

Assuming Michigan is now in the BCS...who do you want to play? Which bowl (seems most likely to be the Sugar and the Fiesta)?

I want the winner of Bedlam in the Fiesta Bowl. Another month to grow and a chance to stick it to a national recognized (however grossly overrated) conference champion.

Va Tech, assuming they beat Clemson, would be a nice match up. Im nervous about Houston. Look what Miller did today. Could you imagine Keenum slinging it all over the place?

Just a 5 hour drive for me.  Also won't be subjected to the judgy face from my gal if/when I am barfing up a few gallons of Hurricanes in the hotel.

As for opponent, I don't want to play Bama twice in a row (just takes some of the excitement out of it) and I don't think Ok. State or Houston would give us much street cred even if we win.  I think Stanford is beatable, what they do on offense plays better into our hands, they were expected to be here after their season last year, and they have the big name QB everyone is in love with.  And they have like 7 fans so tickets should be easy to come by.

May be me being a 21 year old cocky bastard but i want SEC, face the best to get us going for next season. A month to prepare and get the reps to face the best teams in the nation would be a great thing for us. GO BLUE! BEAT OHIO! "WOOOOOOOOOOO"-Ric Flair

Virginia Tech.  We RARELY ever get a chance to play an ACC school, and VT has been the class of the ACC for a while.  VT is good, with a QB like Miller (but more accurate), and a runner like Heron.  They also have a good defense (great coach in Foster) who is used to seeing a mobile QB in practice.  That being said, I think we would have a great shot at winning at a neutral site.  I think the teams match up well and it would be a hoot.

I want to go to the Fiesta Bowl since I can go, because that one's on the 2nd (class starts on the 4th) but Sugar is on the 3rd. But I really want to see us play Georgia in the Sugar. I don't think they beat LSU, and I don't think we'd end up there if they did, but that'd be a really fun matchup.

If they somehow win the SEC championship could they, bama, and LSU all go? I would really like to play Georgia because they are good yet beatable and would be a very validating win for our season

Typically a conference can only send 2 teams to BCS bowls. The exception is if an AQ wins their conference and 2 other teams in that conference finish #1 and #2. It's possible that UGA could knock off LSU, get a BCS bid, and LSU and Bama still finish 1-2. This would greatly reduce Michigan's shot at a BCS bowl though. That would leave only 1 at large bid for everyone to fight for.
