Anyone here think that maybe the Buckeyes could actually beat the NFL's Cardinals, Lions, or Raiders?

the NFL game is far too quick for any college team to compete against even the lowest of the NFL

There's no trouble just a possible rematch with UM. Tressel is an excellent coach with a very talented team at his command. I predict another championship year for the Buckeyes no matter who they play in January.\n\nGO BUCKEYES !!!

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.

Sweety, you're living in dreamland. There is no freakin' way in hell that Meechigan will beat Ohio State this year. We are not #1 for nothing. We have more offense (on both the offense and the defense) than your pathetic wolverines can possibly handle. The Buckeyes will without a doubt beat MeechAgain today and you'll be lucky if it's even a close game. Screw Blue!\n\nGo Buckeyes!!

browns vs buckeyes would be the game, and the browns would win because to get drafted by the NFL u have to be an elite player and not everyone on the buckeyes is elite, it would be close, but browns would win about 24-13. I think any NFL team could beat any college team.

I don't see how Michigan thinks they could do any better in the NC game. Michigan played a flawless game on offense, putting up 39 points, in a hostile environment, while never turning it over. Yet the Buckeyes, played a great game on offense, which other than a few games this year, has been the norm, but had 3 turnovers! Two of them deep in OSU territory that resulted in 10 Michigan points, also the first points all season allowed by OSU after a turnover, and one came at the Michigan 29 yard line. If you add those up, that is 10 points off of Michigan's score, and possibly even another 3 or 7 added to the Buckeyes score had they scored on that drive, not to mention all of the momentum Michigan gained and Ohio State lost after those turnovers. \n\nNow if those turnovers would not have happened, we would not even be talking about a rematch, but because of the Buckeye errors, there is still a possibility of it happening. I do believe it USC wins out, that they will vault up to number 2 because a win over Notre Dame helps their Strength of Schedule because they are adding a top team to their schedule, and kinda like what happened before with Ohio St. and Texas, when Texas lost, Rutgers moved past Ohio St. in the computer poll with Texas falling. Same thing could happen to Michigan with USC beating Notre Dame, which would really hurt because USC is already ahead of Michigan in the two Human polls that make up the BCS, the Harris and Coaches Poll.\n\nNow I do believe that Michigan is the 2nd best team in the nation. They have a great offense, defense, and solid special teams, I just think that losing the last game of the season, with USC close to them in the rankings, and still having a Top 10 team left on the schedule, that a win over them will vault them past Michigan. Congrats to Michigan having a great season though, good to see them back after last season, and good luck to them in their Bowl Game, unless they play OSU of course.

The Buckeyes are definately going to win. Troy Smith is a Michigan killer. I don't think they will stomp them (although, I wish they would), but they will win by 3 or 7.\nWhy?..... Troy Smith is gonna prove why he is the top runner for the Heisman, Ted Ginn is uncatchable after he catches the ball in the open field, Anthony Gonzalaz is very reliable, and James Laurenitis is a hawk on defense (get 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

I don't think that it should even be possible for a rematch this year. Because once you beat someone once, you shouldn't have to prove it again. But if there was a rematch between the 2 teams and Michigan won I guess you would have to call them the National Champs, but that shouldn't be able to happen. And they wouldn't be able to win if there was a rematch. OH            IO\n\nGO BENGALS

anybody who thinks we WON'T be nat'l champs is retarded. no way michigan can beat us this year...they just arent a better all-around team. ohio state is the most balanced team in the nation. We have a severly underrated running back next to the leading candidate of the Heisman race....Troy Smith. All season, ESPN analysts and coaches around the nation have announced Ohio State as the National Champs for this year.\n\nSo, to all Michigan fans....there is no way you'll beat us this year. Chad Henne is inconsistent, and here's an interesting statistic...Mario Manningham had ZERO catches last weekend. BALL STATE was able to keep your top receiver from catching anything. If Ball State can do that, then of course we can do it.

Yes it would be great, and I think the Trojans aren't as good as the Wolverinenes. I still think they should rematch. Plus, it would be an outstanding game.

This game will be an " INSTANT CLASSIC" I am a Buckeye fan and I think this game will come down to which teams quarterback plays the best and who can run the ball the best , these teams both have a great defense , Its going to be a good one !!!!\n        " GO BUCKEYES"

Yep... from Dublin, Ohio\nSuburb of Columbus...\nGo Bucks!\n\nI think they will be Big Ten Champs in both Basketball and Football.\nFootball buckeyes will go to a bowl game if their new linebackers are any good.\nWith their new high schoolers, the basketball Buckeyes will win a weak big ten.

Ohio State will destroy Michigan!!!  By the time the Buckeyes are through with the "Big Boo Hoo", Rutgers will be number 2 in the polls!!  Buckeyes by three TD's.

I think Ohio State will win.

Now we know why the really smart sports people like us understands the value of a playoff system.  My goodness can you imagine the fire storm this would create with teams like Michigan who even if they lose to Ohio State could end up playing the Buckeyes a second time this season for the whole ball of wax!!  But what about Florida, Auburn, Texas and even Notre Dame who may be the weakest ot the teams mentioned.  But even Notre Dame would destroy a team like Rutgers not to mention what Ohio State would do to them.  I don't think Louisville's fate is much better either.  It's a crap shoot and whatever happens, someone is going to be super pissed off at season's end.  We need a playoff in division 1A!!!!\n\nGetting back to the Ohio State - Michigan game.  Right now these are the two best teams in the country with the edge going to the Buckeyes.  Personally I think the Buckeyes are far better than anyone else in the country.  Having said that, even if Michigan wins the game that in itself would automatically call for a rematch.  It happened in 1959  Mississippi beat LSU 7-3 but everyone in the country knew the Tigers were far better and proved it in the national championship game 21-0.  The same situation could happen this year.  I'm out!!
