If there was a rematch between OSU and UM....?

I would not watch it if Ohio State Played Michigan again, Michigan lost, give someone else a shot.  If there was a rematch though Ohio State would dominate it. A possible match would be Ohio State vs USC or Ohio State vs Florida. These teams would have to run the table though and if Norte Dame beat USC look out the BCS is going to be in controversy. (although it allready is) No Rematch between OSU and Michigan.

No, absolutely not.  I am an Michigan State student, and all I heard last week from the stupid UM fans at my school who can't get over the fact that their not smart enough to get into Michigan, is how wonderfull the UM defense is, well OSU put up 42 point after turning the ball over 3 time, two of which were just poor snaps.  You don't score 42 points and give the ball up 3 times.  The only reason UM stayed in the game was because they scored after those stupid t.o's that OSU gave up.  Sure, it's possible that Michigan is truely the #2 team in the nation, and USC would most likely get crushed by Smith and the Bucks, but if they win out, the Trojans deserve the chance, as does UF if they beat Arkansas for the SEC Championship.

Not after today.  They actually respected Bo as did most of the real OSU fans just like most of us real UM Alumni and fans respected Woody.  Tonight is their last concert as "Dead Schembechlers", they put "God Bless Bo" on the marquee, and all the profits from tonight's concert are going to a charity the Schembechler family names.\n\nThese guys understood what the rivalry really is.  It's about class, integrity, and everything that should be college football.  Don't judge Woody by his last game.  He and Bo were the universities and everything college football and the rivalry is about.\n\nThey'll be up there tomorrow cursing each other, wrestling, fighting...but relishing the game as the greatest game ever in the rivalry.  In the end, regardless of the outcome, they'll shake hands, embrace, have a few beers and look forward to the rematch in Glendale, AZ on January 8.

Great turnaround for them.  I'd love to see them win the SEC, but the scenario I'm dreaming of is even better.\n\nIf OSU and USC go to the title game, the Rose Bowl would have two open slots.\n\nPicture it - \n\nWest Virginia vs. Arkansas in Pasadena.  The culture shock would send LA into a funk for 3 decades.

Unlikely.\n\nUSC sitting at #3 has to play ranked opponents, and will have a much better strength of schedule.  \n\nIf the Big 10 was better this year, or if either team had taken some lollipops out of their non-conference schedule, they would be set for a rematch.\n\nUSC is in the driver's seat until they lose.  Florida or Arkansas could sneak in too in some scenarios.\n\nYou can bet the networks don't want a rematch.  It would kill the East and West Coast ratings.  USC is good for TV if nothing else.

I think it would be nice to see it but unless USC falls to notredame tonight then they still may end up losing the #2 spot.  Since Michigan has already got to play OSU the rematch wouldnt be as anticipated though.

I agree, it was the best college football game I have seen for quite a while.  I thought it was very well refereed and the teams both played well.  I would also like to see a rematch on a neutral field and look forward to the coaches game plans.

Couple of things:\n\n1) I was surprised to find out that this year the Fiesta Bowl is not the National Game. There is going to be a separate Bowl game this year called the "National Title" game.\n\n2) Michigan Should get the rematch and I'll tell you why:\n\nMichigan is the 2nd best team in the country and deserves a rematch. I'm an OSU fan, and I know that if anyone but Michigan goes to the National Championship game (which is not the Rose Bowl) OSU will get the title.\n\nThe whole point of the BCS is supposed to be having the two best teams play in the championship. Michigan is definitely 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\nA. Michigan is better than the rest of the teams in NCAA Football.\nB. Troy Smith would be the first OSU QB to beat Michigan 4 times\nC. OSU's center will not mis-snap the ball twice and cut our turnovers in half (helping us win by more than 3 points).\nD. 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!\nE. Another victory against Michigan will help OSU's stats in that rivalry (beating them twice a year will help us catch up quickly :))\nF. Llyod Carr said that this was the best team he has ever coached, so I like the idea of the OSU team being better. And it would be cool to have them be beat twice. \n\n3. The only reason the rematch wouldn't happen is to make the game multiconference and increase ratings to get more money. \n\n\nWhatever happens, this is going to be the Buckeyes' year! GO BUCKS!

I don't think that's going to happen...\n\nMore and more sportwriters are coming to the obvious conclusion that the OSU-Michigan game IS for the national title.  They're realizing that if Michigan doesn't beat Ohio State in their game, then they don't deserve another shot at the title... this upcoming game WILL BE THEIR SHOT.  \n\nIf these teams can expect a rematch in January, they might was well not play any of their starters during their November meeting... why risk losing a key player to an injury, if they're assured of another crack at each other in January?\n\nThis is it, Ohio State.\n\nThis is it, Michigan.\n\nThe time to win the National Title is in November, not January. \n\nIf you win in November, January will probably take care of itself.\n\nCan't wait for this game...it's not a USC/Texas matchup for the ages, but they're the two best teams this year... I wish that Saturday would hurry up and get here, that's gonna be a great game...I hope!

There are dozens of in-state rivalries like Aub/Bama.  OSU/UM is much bigger.

The Ohio State University Buckeyes!!

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 see them real high. I would love to see them play the Ohio state/ Michigan winner for the National championship
