I'm more a Spartan fan than a Wolverine fan but you are right that Michigan hasn't looked like the traditional power it has always been during the last few years. Part of it may because some of the other Big Ten teams have improved and I was going to say maybe their non-conference schedule may be tougher than before (but I don't think so).  Either the coach(ing staff) is not recruiting the best players like it used to or isn't getting the best out of the players.  Either way, who's fault is that?

Yes, I think that OSU is an overall better team.  Offense and defense.

Well, the average person doesn't really know a lot about football beyond their favorite team, so it's a little skewed and often no more than a guess about who will win. Experts are being paid to follow ALL football teams and understand the parts of the game a little better. So while they're using the exact same scale, they have a better sense of who will actually win.

To both sides it is like a war, but it is much more intense in regards to the OSU fans.  They can be very rude and disrespectful not only in Columbus but all over the state of Ohio. These immature and vulgar fans carry an animosity towards not only the University of Michigan but the entire state and it's populus as well. \n\n I wore my Michigan sweatshirt one time when we had to stay in Dayton and we ate in a restaurant near the hotel and everyone was glaring hatefully at me and I could hear "f***king Michigan people."  As I passed.  I was just 10 at the time.  Yeah, very classy.  Needless to say I didn't eat my dinner for fear they put something in it.  \n\n I have seen people with OSU sweatshirts in Michigan and I don't say anything.  I refuse to stoop to such an asinine level as that.  I don't need to break into a fit worthy of someone with Tourette's to show my support for my team by trashing another's. \n\nOSU is a very good football team.  But Michigan is a good team, too.  Their offense doesn't score as much, but they play a different style.  It's a possession type of style.  With drives lasting 5-8 minutes.  You don't usually score a lot of points that way, but your opponent gets less time to work with.  A great bonus to winning a game.  And the Michigan defense is very aggressive and very physical.  They are leaner and faster.   I am a Michigan fan and do believe they will win because it's been a while and almost no sportscaster is picking them to win.  I love my team being the underdog.  \n\nNow, if you want some proof as to OSU fan bad behavior read this article from today's Detriot News:\n\nBehind enemy lines\n\nU-M fans find it's not easy living in Columbus\n\nFrancis X. Donnelly / The Detroit News\n\n\nMichigan fans will be attending a football game Saturday or a mugging.\n\nAn Ohio State administrator wrote a column in the school paper Wednesday asking students not to assault Michiganians, vandalize cars, set fires or riot like they did the last time their school played in such a big game.\n\nIf Ohio's version of Baghdad is this difficult to visit for a few hours, what about Michigan fans who have to live here year-round?\n\nThey say the abuse is constant, has grown worse this year and won't peak until game time. In other words, players shouldn't be the only ones wearing helmets for protection this weekend.\n\n"They almost hate Michigan more than they like Ohio State," said Matt Stout, 35, a Columbus attorney whose "GOMBLUE" license plate was once folded in half by vandals.\n\nA tour of the sprawling Ohio State campus this week found that the tame anti-Michigan T-shirts offered by bookstores are easily outsold by the profanity-laced ones hawked by sidewalk vendors.\n\nA pep rally Monday ended with a song that sounded sweet until one made out the words: "We don't give a d---n about the whole state of Michigan ..."\n\nThe city and school announced they're removing the things that students set ablaze after the Michigan game in 2002 and after a Texas game in September: full garbage bins, front porch couches and cars.\n\nIt sounded like they were stripping a criminal of his weapons.\n\nOSU: Mind your P's and Q's\n\nBeat Michigan Week kicked off with a press conference as school and city officials implored students to behave themselves.\n\nIt used to be called Michigan Week but the school added "Beat," as in "defeat," not "strike repeatedly."\n\nMichigan fans planning to attend the Ohio State game in this football-crazed city received a school e-mail warning them about traveling alone, calling attention to themselves or driving cars with Michigan license plates.\n\nBut Ohio State's student Sportsmanship Council, which was restarted last year, is encouraging good behavior with newspaper ads, posters, banners, billboards and public service announcements on TV and radio.\n

I think the Heisman is still up for grabs.  Although OSU won, and Troy Smith played a good game, I don't think he wrapped it up becuase he was not an overshelmingly dominate player in the game.  I think he still has something to prove and I am pulling for him.

I don't think OU will be next years college national champions.  I'm a Sooners Fan, but I think the front Off. line is one year away from being ready to protect the QB, and make hole for the RB.

OSU is definitely gonna win.  No doubt about it

Unfortunately I feel OSU will win. Just think they are more focused.\n\nI am a huge Michigan fan, always have been.

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.

Man I can't wait for this game!!!!!!!!! My heart is telling me Michigan will pull it off, my brain keeps on breaking my heart though. I can't stand the Luckeyes but if I were to put money on it, I'd have to go with osu. Sorry

I agree.  OSU fans are dumb.  I hate OSU, but logically the Big Ten is far a tougher conference than the Big East.  Rutgers beat Louisville, much props to them, I loved watching that game last Thursday night, but Ohio State is a better team than them.  But it's ok, when Michigan beats Ohio State by 14, and you hold your own, maybe we'll see Michigan vs. Rutgers in the National Championship...the most storied tradition vs. the original football team.

As much as I don't want them to, they have a good chance.  Lucky for me I get to see them, in person, whoop my school (Georgia Tech) tonight.  But crazy stuff can happen in the tournament and they have had some close games, so I wouldn't say it's in the bag.

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.

This was said about Ohio State last year and look where they are now. They won't loss as many key players this year as they did last year. They will contend next year as well.
