Michigan vs. Ohio State, break it down?
966645
I've watched both teams play in person.  It will be a battle.\n\nI give the following...\n\n1. Ohio State offense over Michigan offense...slightly.  Both have explosive RB's and WR's.  I give Troy Smith a slight edge over Chad Henne due to his mobility.  \n\n2. Michigan's team speed on defense is amazing.  Their D-Line is better than Ohio States and their LB's are just as fast.  Maybe can't tackle as well, but they swarm the ball.  DB's i rate as a push.  I like Michigan's defense over OSU....slightly again.\n\n3. I like Ohio States special teams.  Rivas is just too streaky in my mind.  He's had a good year, but you can't overlook his past.  Punting is a wildcard because neither team has had to punt much.  I give that edge to OSU though because of past history.  Both returners are amazing.  Breston and Ginn...need to say no mroe.  Slight edge to OSU.\n\n4. If I had to pick one, i like Hart over Pittman and Wells.  Of course it helps to be behind that massive offensive line of Michigans.\n\n5. OSU.  The mobility of Smith just adds a deminsion and the speed of Ginn can vertically stretch the field.  \n\n6. Michigan.  They look like an NFL line.  Their size is amazing. \n\n7. Michigan again.  That D-Line is not only fast, but is big.  \n\n8. OSU.  Lurniatis is an amazing player.  If he can carrol Hart, then the OSU DE's can go after Henne.  He's the key to OSU's defense.\n\n9. Push.  Nothing really stands out for either team at that position to me.  They're good, but not great.\n\n10.  Tressel gets the nod bigtime.  Face it, he owns Michigan, and Carr always seems to lose the big games in the 2000's.\n\n11. Ohio State.  It's in the shoe with 110,000 screaming fans.  \n\nFINAL\nOhio State 20\nMichigan 17\n\nIt will be a classic.

Ohio State will win because they better overall on defense. Special teams and offenses are very similar and will come down to who makes the stops when they count. I don't think ND will have any big plays on special teams like they have had this season (and saved some wins for them). And OSU will pressure Brady and get him to have happy feet and he will not be able to throw "jump balls" and expect his receivers to bail him out. It could be a game similar to ND's loss to USC, except OSU won't make mistakes like USC did and allow ND back into the game.  Also, ND and their fans are so arogant and full of themselves that they don't have the winning mentality it takes to win big games. It will take Charlie Weis a few years to weed out the ND turds before they will be serious bowl contenders. PS. Charlie Weis does not give Ohio State a coaching edge over OSU, if anything, he is a liability because of his lack of knowledge on bowl preparation and scheduling practice around exams, flights schedules, and media hoopla. Go Bucks!

sure, Michigan has good defense, a great front 4, some fast recievers, an experienced quarterback, and a hell of a running back.\n\nbut so does OHIO!  lets break it down by some key positional matchups\n\nQB-Troy Smith is not only accurate, but he is fast and makes great decisions.  you can't leave him alone. chad henne is so 5 minutes ago\n\nRB-Mike Hart will need his O-Line to be top notch against a powerful defense, if so, then he wins in this matchup.  pittman and a pair of wells are very promising, fresh legs all day long\n\nWR-Ginn! Gonzo! these players have proved that they are no joke.  as soon as you take your eye of them they are gone! and if you cover them with extra players zip! there goes Troy Smith for a 15 yard run\n\nDefense- hard to tell, both are the best in the country.  I have to say that Michigans front 4 gets the edge, but for LB and CB positions, OSU will take you and beat you down and you will like it.\nhave fun selling hotdogs...I will be eating some, but in the comfort of my own home :-(

The Ohio State Buckeyes will HAVE to play their BEST football yet this season in order to defeat meechigan woolveweenies today at Ohio Stadium. This game is the best rivalry game in all of college football. Rivalries are played with great heart determination, intense hatred, and the participating teams are so familiar with each other.\nI respect the success the vile team from up north has had with their program over the last hundred plus years. Yet, I will ALWAYS despise meechigan woolveweenies!!! \n\nThe Great Coach Woodward Hayes trained Bo Schembechler, and despite the fact that Bo turned to the dark side of the force, Bo utilized that training to turn meechigan around, and make Ohio State v. meechigan the greatest of ALL college football rivalries.\n\nRest in Peace, Mr. Schembechler, and may God grant the Schembechler Family some peace and comfort in their time of grief.\n\nP.S. Bo... Please say 'Hi!' to Woody for us?!!!!!\n\n\nGO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Neither is overrated, loser. Why are you using Yahoo answers to rant about Ohio State and Michigan. Don't watch. There are plenty of other games. Spare us your idiotic rant. One of these two teams WILL win the national championship....and it will be Ohio State.\n\nGo Buckeyes!!

I am a Buckeye fan But Michigan is a great time also. That's what make them playing a great game. I don't think they should have a rematch this year. Next year regular season they will have their chance.

WHEN Ohio State beats Michigan . . .  No, Ohio State should not have to replay either Michigan or Texas for the national championship-been there done that.

ohio state/michigan winner vs a one-loss SEC champion or an undefeated Rutgers.\n\nmy prediction, ohio state will meat Michigan and go to BCS title game.\n\nFlorida will beat Arkansas in the SEC title and get the other slot.\n\nRutgers will go undefeated but get screwed out of the BCS title game, but they will still go to a major bowl and win.\n\nMichigan will go to the rose bowl and play Southern Cal.

I'm sorry, but what a stupid question. They have to get on the field and play the game so of course it's possible. I know you're an Ohio St homer but even you have to admit that Michigan has a pretty good team. I'm just ready for this game to be played so we can get past questions like this from both sides.

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.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. Although the game was very close and Michigan has a great team, at this point we have to just allow the fact that Ohio State is better. If a rematch occures and by chance Michigan wins, who should the National Champions be? Boths teams would have the same record and both had beat each other, if Michigan was named Champion it would be a huge controversy and would only hurt NCAA Football. Michigan got their chance to go to the National Championship game, they lost. It's now time for someone else to get their shot at Ohio State.\n\nUSC is 9-1 with games against Notre Dame and UCLA, Florida is 10-1 with a game against Florida State, Arkansas is 10-1 with one game left against #9 LSU, Notre Dame is 10-1 with one game left against #4 USC. Any one of these teams could end up with the same record as Michigan without already having lost to Ohio State. Is it fair to give Michigan a rematch when none of them have even gotten a shot?\n\nAnd Michigan isn't the only team to keep it close against Ohio State, Illinois lost 17-10. If Illinois can keep it close any team in the top 10 have a chance to win.

This game had everything: Controversial calls, great plays, and ONE HUGE ENDING.\n\nThere was certainly a pass interference on Nebraska as Michiagan came close to the end zone. And all those players running on the field before the game was over; Michigan had an unfair disadvantage as the calls were not made.

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)
