Quick Michigan vs. USC Comparison
The conventional wisdon states that:
1) USC has hands-down the best schedule
2) Michigan looks like the 2nd best team, but they had their chance and lost
3) Therefore USC should play OSU in the BCS National Championship Game
This is all fine and good, mainly because I like the end result of USC being in the BCS National Championship Game, but I question the Michigan vs. USC logic being used. Namely, why doesn't anyone point out that Michigan should look like the better team when playing the worse schedule?
Simply put, USC is better than what the human eye has seen on the field, and Michigan is worse that what has been seen by the human eye, comparatively.
Note that I am specifically using the term "BCS National Championship Game" because the AP Poll goes it's way. And if USC beats Ohio State to claim the BCS while the AP Poll crowns Michigan #1, I am perfectly fine with it.
