Rematch with Bama

Ok ay, so since we are only one game into the season and we only have 1 loss I am inclined to play the what if game....

Lets say Michigan wins out and only Bama is undefeated, do we deserve a rematch like Bama got against LSU? Better yet do we want to ever accept a rematch? Obviously yes if its for the MNC.

If we did get a rematch I would have to believe that our chances would have to greatly increase of us winning. 

I dunno I'm bored and thought this would add some good debate and its not impossible for this scenario to happen.

Well lets start by beating AF this weekend!!!!

GO BLUE

 

*edit* What... too soon....too soon???

Sooooo I guess my 2 post ever was a complete failure. But hey sometimes you gotta learn the hard way! Maybe I should just start a Friday night drinking thread next time.

It will never happen, not with the beating we took.  Think ratings....who would want to watch this type of game again.  Hell, I didn't enjoy it the first time around.  When Bama and LSU had a rematch, they were arguably the best two teams in the country.

The BSC would take a 1 loss USC, LSU, Oregon, and possibly another team or two like Oklahoma. We would need USC and Oregon to somehow magically find two losses which is incredibly unlikely. LSU likewise. A rematch this season is near, if not, impossible. Rescheduling them in 3ish years for a home and home is the only possibilty of playing, unless we have a shot at the NC sometime in the next couple of years.

Our team is full of good guys, and I want us to go to a bowl game where the seniors have a shot of going out winning. Plus it spring boards nicely into next year. Even if it was the MNC game vs Bama I wouldn't want to get shalacked like that again. There is the possibility of it happening in anotherBCS game, or a bowl with SEC-B1G tie-ins.

On a funnier note, the Big12 and SEC have scheduled their own version of the Rose Bowl called the "Champions Bowl" where the Big 12 champion will ditch playing the big east champion or whatever easy bowl win they usually get scheduled for a thourough ass whooping at the hands of a team that plays defense, the Sec Champion. No more preseason top 10 rankings for you, Big 12, lmfao.

Edit: Seriously. Big12 champs Oklahoma played Uconn 2 years ago and gets unranked 7-6 Iowa last year, while Nebraska was 4th in the B1G, ranked, and got top 10 South Carolina. Who matches these things up?

All that and a bag of chips still gets us whipped by at least two scores vs. Bama.
