I agree that USC could beat both Ohio State and Michigan.  For one thing, USC coach Pete Carroll has experience in big games and considering that Carroll is undefeated in November (this year and in years past) and that USC's defense is starting to come to life after having a hard time adjusting to the 3-4 defense from previous years' 4-3 defense, USC could handle just about any other team in the country.  I wouldn't say that USC would blow out Ohio State/Michigan, but I would say that USC could beat them.

Even if USC loses to UCLA,  Michigan should get another shot at Ohio State because they are a better team than Florida , but if everything plays out like it should Florida might play Michigan in a Bowl Game and Florida will get spanked !!! Oh Well !! \n\n GO BUCKEYES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohio State all the way. Michigan is just outclassed.

at this moment, it's Michigan.\n\nIf USC beats Notre Dame, then I would think that USC would be ranked #2.

Michigan and Ohio State go into Saturday as the obvious number 1 and 2 teams in the country.  Regardless of the result, they are still the 2 best teams in the nation.  Anyone who can logically justify otherwise...I will send you $20.  Michigan and Ohio State will play twice this year...next Saturday and again for the national title.

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.

i would put 1g on the raider and/or the cardinals to lose to whoever their playing. but come janury i'd put 10,000 on OSU over USC/anyone not named michigan lol

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.

UCLA is always a tough team to play, but I feel that USC will be too much for them. I don't want to see Ohio St. vs. USC any more than you do, but it is just the likely scenario.

As a Michigan fan. Well I would rather lose to Ohio State ( as much as it sucks) rather then lose to the great team of Oregon State.

in one game of college football, any team can beat any team.  other than that:\n\n1.  ohio state will underestimate the dominance of USC\n\n2.  USC's defense can shut down high-powered offenses.  ask oregon, cal and notre dame.\n\n3.  ohio state can shut down one receiver, but how about three?\n\nso of course USC has a legitimate chance.

If the game is close then yes. After the losses of Cal, Texas, and Auburn today to unranked teams, the chances of this are a lot higher. It is either this, USC (if they win out) vs. OSU/UM winner or Flordia (if they win out) vs. OSU/UM winner

they wont play texas not to mention the game was won by vince young....i think any team that plays good nickel or dime style defense and can stop the run will beat ohio state especially after illinois almost beat them....i think that if floridia winds up in the national championship they will beat ohio state ebcause of the whole dual qb threat that would strongly confuse ohio states old school d and floridia has a great defense

First of all, I am a Maize and Blue fan through and through. Secondly I am not in favor of rematches in college football. Especially when it is Michigan-OhioState. This is the greatest rivalry in college sports and playing once a year is part of the charm . That being said however, the BCS is designed to match the two best teams in college football against each other in the National Championship game. And right now, til one of the schools with one loss who are still playing steps up and wins out and impresses the pollsters enough to vault ahead of Michigan, my beloved Wolverines are #2. It may be a flawed system that calls for a rematch but right now, it is the only one we have. and if that happens, so be it. Bring on the Buckeyes....Go Blue!

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.
