BCS controversy: were the Gators the right pick?

Gator fans are thrilled with the news that Florida has been selected to face top-ranked Ohio State in the BCS title game on January 8, 2007. But the decision wasn't without controversy: the Michigan Wolverines were left out in the cold-- even though they were idle, and the BCS computer rankings put them dead-even with the Gators. The decision came down to the polls, which ranked Florida higher following their win in Saturday's SEC Championship game.

The BCS system has repeatedly been criticized over the years, and this is no exception. Michigan fans feel they've been robbed. Gator fans think their team earned the right. What do you think? Is this another case of the BCS gone wrong, or did the human element win out and put the Gators where they belong?

If the Gators weren't slotted into the itle game, I would've been calling for some heads! It would have had me wanting the C to come out of BCS. Toughest sked in the country, in the toughest conference. A 12-1 record, which, last time I looked, is better than 11-1. In short, they did get it right, but there still needs to be a better way.
