Central Michigan, Ball State, and Vanderbilt graced Michigan's non-conference schedule, sdd. Your point is rendered null and void. Heaven forbid the Lions ever become contenders.... Actually redliner Central Michigan (9-4) won the MAC Championship and I believe Florida played Vanderbilt (4-8) as well in which they won by a score of 19 to 25 whereas Michigan beat them by a score of 27 to 7. And as far as Ball St. (5-7) well I would imagine they could handily beat a (2-9) Western Carolina team who was one of the worst teams in Div I-AA. You also forgot to metion that Michigan played a Notre Dame team (10-2), who yes I believe is way overrated, but nonetheless are still playing in a BCS bowl and beat them by 26. You played a decent Southern Miss team (8-5) and beat them rather handily and an awful Central Florida team (4-8) and and a horrible Western Carolina team which I would be embarrassed to even call a win.

Florida Will Face Ohio State in BCS Championship Game
I forgot to mention as for strength of schedule less the SEC Championship Game b/c the Big 10 doesn't have a championship game Michigan's opponets record 84-61 (+25 differential) and Florida's opponent's record 81-63 (+18 differential). The odd thing is even if you did add another opponent (Arkansas) on to Florida's schedule there opponents record would be 91-66 (+25 differential) tying with Michigan. Also I would like to say Michigan scheduled a team from the SEC to play even though it was only vanderbilt. How come Florida couldn't schedule a Northwestern, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, or Iowa all so-called mediocre teams instead of Western Carolina?
