john: why won't the championship game be OSU/Michigan part two?

ryan: the TV networks will tinker with one of the computer formulas, or pressure voters, or both, so that the national championship game isn't A) a repeat of a game already played and B) a midwest only affair

besides, i think it will be the SEC championship game winner anyways, assuming they still have one loss, because of strength of schedule (Florida would have to beat Auburn or vice versa)

bold prediction: national championship game: OSU-Auburn (as much as i'd like to see Florida or Michigan, or both, in the game, i doubt it will happen)
