Ohio State didn't look that great today...?

I think neither Michigan or Ohio State played particularly well on Saturday. Whenever that happens, other teams who always give their best efforts against higher ranked teams will make the game tough. Lets face facts. Every game is different and sometimes teams approach games like yesterdays with a less than great effort. It happens. Rankings don't have any bearing on the field. The players still have to find ways to win, regardless of who there  opponent is.

first of all, it's saturday night; so that means that the polls are not updated.  yes, ohio state is #1 and michigan is #2, but the rankings may be different tomorrow.  there's a good chance that the rankings will be the same, but there's also a chance that michigan will fall and USC move up a spot.\n\ni guess we'll have to see tomorrow.

sigh... my heart is broken right now...  how I wish wish wish the outcome would have been different.  \nAnd BLOW-OUT??  How can a 3 (THREE!!!) point victory be classified as a blow-out???\nYou will hear nothing but hot air from the B(s)uckeye fans right now.  Yes, their team managed to capitalize on some critical plays today, but please don't shove it down my throat; my pain is undying as it is....

I think there just pissed off because they had there chances to beat OSU and when USC leaped froogged over them, well that was the icing on the cake, lol. How about that personal foul on the OSU QB in the fourth quater when it was third and fifteen? OUCCCCCCCH.

They are OVER-RATED. They lost to the only teams on their schedule that are good MICHIGAN and USC. They started off the year overrated, what were they like number 2 or 3 in the nation at the start.

I think the Heisman is still up for grabs.  Although OSU won, and Troy Smith played a good game, I don't think he wrapped it up becuase he was not an overshelmingly dominate player in the game.  I think he still has something to prove and I am pulling for him.

Woah Amin, I though I was looking at the Michigan depth chart for a second.  Hart and Henne, are a joke, and I'd take Manningham over Breaston at this point.\n\nIf I were you I would watch out for Troy Smith from Ohio State, they return some stars on offense, Anthony Gonzalez and Ted Ginn should recieve quite nicely.  And he is a scrambler, complimented well by Antonio Pittman and number 1 recruit Chris Wells.  I think he will shine for the Buckeyes this season.\n\nBut Quinn and Peterson would be my best guesses.\n\nAnd Weis isn't the guru he was hyped by everyone to be, I'd consider him one of the most overrated coaches of all time.  See Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State, and how Charlie Weis was supposed to destroy them with his month to prepare.  Look what Tressel and the Buckeyes did with that, sure, they were the better athletes, but you can't disagree with the fact that Charlie had plenty of talent on that team, and was capable of winning it for Notre Dame, plain and simple, he didn't do it.  He got lucky against a superior USC team once, and after that everyone jumped on the bandwagon.  He didn't even have his own athletes in there, so don't come in and tell me he developed every one of those players into the men they became this season.

No complaints from me about the officials, I agree that we actually caught a break on the INT.\n\nTHe buckeyes were the better team and deserved to win

I totally agree.  I must say that in watching this game, I do not get any sort of sense of a quality team.  First let us look at the 10 point win for Louisville.  7 points came from a fumble (which was part of a series of 3 turnovers in 4 plays).  7 points came from a ugly punt with ugly tackling to be returned for a TD.  That just goes to show West Virginia was over rated.\n\nNow for Lousiville, they played horribly.  They allowed over 500 yards of offense against them (BTW for a total between both of over 1000 yards... yikes).  Even bad highschool teams give up less than this.  There was no tackling, there was no defense.  The game was a shootout to see who would make a few mistakes... West VA lost that bet.  It is easy to score a lot of points when the other team cannot stop an old woman with a cane in one hand and the ball in the other.  It is very easy to run up points all season when you play a bunch of short bus schools chasing butterflys up and down the field.  Wait until the bowl games... when all the "power house" Big East teams play real "Power Conferences."(SEC, Big 10, ACC, Pac 10).  They will learn what a real football is like.  All I hope for is either: 1) All the Big East teams knock each other out or 2) They all go to decent bowls where they get there butts kicked, and they start where they belong next year.  And yes, I know Ohio State is awesome, Michigan is too.  Sorry they have to knock each other out but it is the way it goes.  I see Ohio State/Florida or Auburn in the title... the way it should be.  Go Jackets (Yes, I know... not a title hope but they win the ACC and are Orange Bowl bound)!

I have never gone from thinking my team great one week, and then that they suck the next week. I do live and die by my Ohio State Buckeyes though. When you follow a team as closely as I do, you start to feel what they feel. It's hard to watch intently, and not get into it. My wife gets on me about my emotions when watching the Buckeyes. She watches soap operas, but can't understand the way I get when watching football. It feels good to believe in something and follow that closely. We gotta have a diversion from life and kids once in a while, so we really get into the games.

This year will be a adjustment for Steve.....BUT....he still got his GO TO GUY FROM  TENN...Derick Mason(3yrs ago) and Clayton more than what he had in Tenn(last year)....This is a Close CALL...Two teams that are(or were) happy to WIN  13-10

probably, because we seriously rock.  GO BLUE!  MSU and OSU are the most bitter.  I just finished with college admissions and at MSU there was so much UofM bashing it made MSU look like sorry babies.  I chose UofM, of course!

Even if Michigan wins BIG...the Badgers lackluster performance so far today against Buffalo will cancel out any benefit a Michigan blowout would give them.

Neither but I will say that Ohio St is the #1 team in the country and should win the national championship. I don't see any team beating them being it USC,Florida,or if Michigan gets the rematch. If you ask anyone other than michigan fans you'll know that the game wasn't as close as the score showed. OSU should have won by 14. Still a good game but it was obvious that the refs kept it close not michigan.

Wow-ask a question like this and you really pull out all the over confident OSU fans.  As my husband likes to say-You can't ever look past any game or team in the big ten.  With classic rivalries such as OSU/Michigan, you can look at stats and rankings but it truly means nothing when these two teams play.  While OSU has had a great offense this year, their offense was crushed last weekend when Illinois found the holes in their line.  And that was a team that doesn't have the #2, questionably the best defense in the country.  If the wolverines can contain Troy Smith and Ted Ginn's run game, which I think they can, Michigan will win.  Neither team will play next weekend like they did last weekend and it always proves to be a great game.

THE Ohio State Buckeyes will defeat meechigan woolveweenies in the toughest rivalry game in all of college football. The Ohio State defense is BETTER than last year's defense. The Buckeyes have taken the ball away many more times than last year. Our defense and offense have scored almost ONE HUNDRED THIRTY points off of those turnovers!!! 130 !!!!!!!! That's impressive!!!  Our offense has committed something like 15 turnovers all this year. How many points has our defense allowed the opposition to score on these gifts?  Z E R O !!!!!!! N A D A !!!!!!!! NOTHING !!!!\nmeechigan woolveweenies defense CANNOT say the same!!!\n\nThe Buckeyes have a BETTER defense than meechigan. The Buckeyes have a BETTER offense than the wolveweenies. The Buckeyes have a BETTER Coach than meechigan.\n\nThe bottom line is that it IS a rivalry, and it will be a tough game because of that fact. Rivalries are hard fought, heart determined, contests. Rivalries are tough because of the emotion, the familiarity, and the hatred.\n\n\nGO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!1
