OSU by at least 2 TDs.  Wolverine fans must be overjoyed at beating an Indiana team that lost to Southern Illinois, but neglecting the fact that a Northwestern team, which was coming off a bad loss to Michigan State, only lost to Michigan 17-3 in Ann Arbor, but just got lit up by Ohio State to the tune of 54-10.\n\nEvery common opponent between the two has seen Ohio State win by bigger margins than Michigan:\n\nPenn State - OSU 28-6 in Columbus, Michigan 17-10 in State College\nIowa - OSU 38-17 in Iowa City, Michigan 20-6 in Ann Arbor\nMichigan State - OSU 38-7 in East Lansing, Michigan 31-13 in Ann Arbor\nIndiana - OSU 44-3 in Columbus, Michigan 34-3 in Bloomington\nMinnesota - OSU 44-0 in Columbus, Michigan 28-14 in Minneapolis\nNorthwestern - OSU 54-10 in Evanston, Michigan 17-3 in Ann Arbor\n\nOSU didn't play Wisconsin, while Michigan didn't play Illinois in conference.  Neither played Purdue.\n\nOSU wins big for three reasons:\n1.  It's in the Horseshoe.\n2.  OSU's defense shuts down Mike Hart, which leads to...\n3.  Troy Smith is a helluva lot better QB than Chad Henne could ever hope to be even in his own wet dreams.

Ain't gonna be a spankin on either side. OSU wins by 2. Look at it objectively and compare the 2 teams. Nobody has an edge at running back, receiver, defensive backs or line. OSU has the advantage at QB. Henne is good but Smith is great. If Henne has to start making plays UM is in deep trouble. Coaching goes to Tressel over Lloyd Cooper, er I mean Carr.

To both sides it is like a war, but it is much more intense in regards to the OSU fans.  They can be very rude and disrespectful not only in Columbus but all over the state of Ohio. These immature and vulgar fans carry an animosity towards not only the University of Michigan but the entire state and it's populus as well. \n\n I wore my Michigan sweatshirt one time when we had to stay in Dayton and we ate in a restaurant near the hotel and everyone was glaring hatefully at me and I could hear "f***king Michigan people."  As I passed.  I was just 10 at the time.  Yeah, very classy.  Needless to say I didn't eat my dinner for fear they put something in it.  \n\n I have seen people with OSU sweatshirts in Michigan and I don't say anything.  I refuse to stoop to such an asinine level as that.  I don't need to break into a fit worthy of someone with Tourette's to show my support for my team by trashing another's. \n\nOSU is a very good football team.  But Michigan is a good team, too.  Their offense doesn't score as much, but they play a different style.  It's a possession type of style.  With drives lasting 5-8 minutes.  You don't usually score a lot of points that way, but your opponent gets less time to work with.  A great bonus to winning a game.  And the Michigan defense is very aggressive and very physical.  They are leaner and faster.   I am a Michigan fan and do believe they will win because it's been a while and almost no sportscaster is picking them to win.  I love my team being the underdog.  \n\nNow, if you want some proof as to OSU fan bad behavior read this article from today's Detriot News:\n\nBehind enemy lines\n\nU-M fans find it's not easy living in Columbus\n\nFrancis X. Donnelly / The Detroit News\n\n\nMichigan fans will be attending a football game Saturday or a mugging.\n\nAn Ohio State administrator wrote a column in the school paper Wednesday asking students not to assault Michiganians, vandalize cars, set fires or riot like they did the last time their school played in such a big game.\n\nIf Ohio's version of Baghdad is this difficult to visit for a few hours, what about Michigan fans who have to live here year-round?\n\nThey say the abuse is constant, has grown worse this year and won't peak until game time. In other words, players shouldn't be the only ones wearing helmets for protection this weekend.\n\n"They almost hate Michigan more than they like Ohio State," said Matt Stout, 35, a Columbus attorney whose "GOMBLUE" license plate was once folded in half by vandals.\n\nA tour of the sprawling Ohio State campus this week found that the tame anti-Michigan T-shirts offered by bookstores are easily outsold by the profanity-laced ones hawked by sidewalk vendors.\n\nA pep rally Monday ended with a song that sounded sweet until one made out the words: "We don't give a d---n about the whole state of Michigan ..."\n\nThe city and school announced they're removing the things that students set ablaze after the Michigan game in 2002 and after a Texas game in September: full garbage bins, front porch couches and cars.\n\nIt sounded like they were stripping a criminal of his weapons.\n\nOSU: Mind your P's and Q's\n\nBeat Michigan Week kicked off with a press conference as school and city officials implored students to behave themselves.\n\nIt used to be called Michigan Week but the school added "Beat," as in "defeat," not "strike repeatedly."\n\nMichigan fans planning to attend the Ohio State game in this football-crazed city received a school e-mail warning them about traveling alone, calling attention to themselves or driving cars with Michigan license plates.\n\nBut Ohio State's student Sportsmanship Council, which was restarted last year, is encouraging good behavior with newspaper ads, posters, banners, billboards and public service announcements on TV and radio.\n

Too many EXPECT OSU to win so I doubt they will. And if Michigan does win there should be no rematch. There is no excuse for losing at home.

I'm done talkin about it ! after today not one word from me till the minute after THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES kick Michigans \nA-S-S up and down the Horseshoe !!!! and then just watch all those Michigan fans , you wont be able to find them anywhere !!! \ncant wait !!!\nSee Ya after the game ! \n\n                                 " GO BUCKEYES " \n                                        AND \n                                " SCREW BLUE "

The wolverines are going to have to shut the run down COMPLETELEY and that includes Troy Smith running.  They are going to have to get consitent pressure  on him otherwise he WILL make a play. \n\nSpecial teams also have to bring their A game, OSU has dangerous return men.\n\nOn the flip side Michigan HAS to run the ball to win this game, they need to gring it out a little and shorten the game. If they can run it will set up a big day for Henne and co. \n\nAs for you score predication I think if michigan gives up 28 points they will lose..... they need to keep it more of a 20 - 13 or 24 - 20 type game......for the wolverines to drop 35 on OSU they are going to need a couple turnovers or a specials teams TD.\n\nThat's my 2 cents....... GO BLUE !

That's who I'd like to see also. Yeah, Michigan lost to them once but they are the only team that can hang with OSU.

The whole point of the BCS is supposed to be having the two best teams play in the championship. Michigan is definetly a lot better than N.D. and USC. If Michigan doesn't rematch, they should do away with the BCS (which I would be cool with, because I hate the BCS).\n\nBeing a huge OSU fan, I didn't want a rematch because I just wanted the title, but now I do and I'll tell you why:\n\n1. Another victory against Michigan will help our stats in that rilvary (beating them twice a year will help us catch up quickly :))\n2. Troy Smith would be the first OSU QB to beat Michigan 4 times\n3. Our center will not mis-snap the ball twice and cut our turnovers in half (helping us win by more than 3 points).\n4. Michigan's Hart said that OSU is nothing special and if they play again Michigan will beat OSU. I would like to see Hart eat those words!\n\n(If OSU and Michigan have a rematch, the worst that would happen for OSU is a split title)

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!
819563
As far as SHOULD they get a chance if they win out? Yes! Until a team has been beaten, there is no way to know how good they can really be. If every other team has lost a game, then why should they get a shot at the best (and the winner of the UofM OSU game will clearly be thought of as the best) when a team has not yet been beaten?\n\nAs far as WILL they? No way. It is conceivable that every team above them COULD lose again this season, but then the loser of the OSU UofM game will get back in as number 2. Mathematically it is almost impossible for them to get a chance.

OSU appears to be the best team in college this year by a wide margin.  If Michigan were to pull off an upset and there would be no rematch then Michigan could be vunerable to a loss in the championship game because they have not played as consistently a good game as OSU.  If OSU wins then I believe they only way they will lose is to shoot themselves in the foot by turnovers.\nCould a USC or Florida pull off an upset.  Sure but it would be an uphill battle.

Does this really matter?  I mean come on, the only team that can accually compete on the same field as Ohio State is Michigan, I think you are going to see the greatest whooping in a National Championship Game.  Proving that we need a College Playoff System because it will erase all doubts!\n\nUSC would be lucky to do anything.  I also am not a USC or Ohio State, and not even a Michigan fan but this one isnt even going to be close and thats a fact WITH SOME CHEESE ON IT!!!

Ohio state is gonna punk Michigan all the way to the bottom of the BCS, troy smith is gonna make clowns out of the Michigan defense, I'm guessing Ohio state puts up record numbers, and claims the national title, and there's nothing the wolverines can do about it

haha\n\nOhio State is a hell of a team this year.  On paper OSU should be a favorite.  Michigan is going to stop them though, their Dline is dominance at work.  Michigan is going to make Smith look average.

OSU baby!!!! They have worked hard and they deserve it! So get ready to be beat NC, you're goin down!!!
