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.

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.

Better question....Why the heck is Notre Dame even being considered? Army, Navy, Air Force...are you kidding me? Their schedule was a joke and look what happened in the Michigan State game. I am in Ohio and I am a HUGE Ohio State fan. I do not want a repeat in the title game of Mich-OSU, but who else can beat Michigan? I love Boise State and have for a couple of years. They have won me lots of money!!! They have the most exciting offense in the country, but their schedule lacks strength also. I hate Mich, but I think they would tear up Boise. Lets see what happens with USC first.

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 2 schools must play again-unless it's a 14 point margin of defeat. Look The Buckeyes or Wolverines will absolutely murder any other school in the National Title game. Rutgers???? Are you kidding me--a 24 point loss to either. Florida would get slaughtered--USC may score 3 times...maybe. If one is a field goal. These teams are elite---they are Filet Mignon-the rest of the top 10 is Bologna.

Not unless Ohio State or Michigan get blown out when playing each other

I would not say the big ten is overrated..Michigan IS the second best team in the country...They would kick the snot out of USC !!!\nYou are crazy if you think Texas could take Michigan..Granted Texas is solid and I think Colt MCcoy will be one of the greats..  \nBut that is a ridiculous statement!!!\n\nGo Buckeyes

Vanderbilt needs to take a shot at Ohio State.\n\nBut seriously, USC, ND, Arkansas, or Flordia needs to play Ohio State.

Looking at the schedules the only other really big game is Louisville at Rutgers but thats on Thursday so I'd say they will. The game day page doesn't say yet.

I have a hard time seeing ND at No.2 regardless of what they do in Southern Cal because of the Michigan loss. I think that Florida won't trample FSU, but if they do, Michigan will drop to 3 and Florida will move up just because Mich and OSU are both in the Big Ten. I think this will result in Florida and OSU in the title game. A lot of people want to see a rematch of the game last week, but this will be one of the few chances for a SEC team to get past the loaded conference and show the country exactly how good they are. However, I think that if there were to be a rematch Michigan would win with that recieving core and unstoppable rusher.

You are right.  Ohio State has never beat an SEC team in a bowl game and they have had 8 chances.  I'm not sure if Michigan has ever beaten an SEC team in a bowl game or not.

Ohio State would probably want to play Florida because USC has been there last year and the guys that didnt graduate are fimilar with how to handle the Championship.  They wouldnt want to play Michigan unless all they wanted was the ratings to be the highest in history.  They barely got a win at home agaisnt Michigan and i dont think they would want to go through that again.  Florida is the only team there that doesnt have any starters that havent been in the Championship before so they arent familiar with it.  If OSU could choose any team that had a minor shot to play though it would be Boise State.  They are undefeated but they are the most underrated team in football.

I agree with lil bro.  Only I would reword that analogy to say that the OSU-Mich game is to THE BIG TEN Football, as the Red Sox-Yanks are to American Baseball. \n\nYes, it's a big game and rivalry but it's not THAT important to people outside of the Big Ten.  Other conferences in other parts of the nation have other favorites. "Big" is a relative term when it comes to rivalries, depending on where you went to school, how closely you follow each team, etc.  The Texas a&m/Texas rivalry, for instance, is much "bigger" to folks living in Texas than someone who lives in Michigan.

Yes, they played in the 1955 and 1956 seasons. Ohio State won both games.
