I hope it's a close game that comes down to the final quarter. I'm not a fan of either school, but as a fan of college football you have to be excited for this game! |

I think it's possible, especially with Florida and USC each probably losing another game, and Rutgers possibly coming out undefeated. I would personally like to see UM v. Rutgers but I could understand seeing OSU remain at number 2 if they lose a close game. |

The game is on! On paper, it's one of the best matchups ever. But will it be a great game, too? All that matters is a UM win. Texas and Cali losing, along with Florida almost being upset and Rutgers being continuously questioned, raises the possibility of a rematch in January. |

It is going to take a USC victory over Notre Dame, another Florida loss and a WV victory over Rutgers to insure that a rematch is possible. Also a rematch with UM winning the first game is more likely than if OSU wins the first game. Of course all this for a mythical championship. (Message edited by _sj_ on November 13, 2006) |

Every possible script for 11-18-06 dances in the minds of the media; everything considered. That's why they play the game. Pistons 05-06, Wings 05-06, Tigers 06. Very proud memories falling a 'lil short. Ask the Scarlet Knights what euphoria feels like; even if they fall short in the eyes of the media gurus. Like our Motowners they played that day.

From what you are hearing on the radio and the tv. This Ohio State team is so dominant, they will just walk over this Michigan team, whose defense is good, but they can't stop Jesu-whoops, I mean Troy Smith (gotta catch myself there). Then why do I have the same quiet confidence like I had against Notre Dame? This shirt pretty much sums up my feelings about the State of Ohio and their stupid pennant state flag: http://www.spreadshirt.com/sho p.php?op=article&article_id=14 78275#top |

Umstucoach, I have that same quiet feeling too, although I also had it for some of the games we ended up dropping last season. However I like the fact we are not favored. Michigan football has always seemed to play at the other teams level, for us that only means we'll be that much tougher. Look for Troy Smith and CO. to have a rough day Saturday. GO BLUE D |

That penalty on Crable was a killer. 3rd and 15 and instead of punting to Michigan they end up with a first down. For the game of the century you'd think they could have a field that was in good condition. No one had an advantage, but it was annoying to see players slipping and the sod lifting up like it was just rolled out yesterday. |

Sport, I don't know if you're joking or not. You have to commend Carr and the Wolverines. Not only did they go into a very hostile Ohio Stadium and play the number 1 team in the land, but they had to do it the day after they lost the face of Michigan football for the lost 40 years. Great job staying focused and playing with passion with what I'm sure were heavy hearts. |

What a game, but sad to see those neanderthals from that mob of a school down south come out with a win. Carr is still the reason why we are Michigan, one loss or not. I'm still not happy with some of the play calling. I mean passing on a 3rd and 1 situation, when Hart was already averaging 6 yards per carry. What the hell!............. Anyways, should a, would a, could a explanations could go on forever, point being osu was the better team today. Our consolation is the fact that we don't have to live in ohio, God that state is worthless. Go Blue till the day I die! |

Someone had to lose. Unfortunately it was our state's team. You have to hand it to Smith though- that kid's got some moxie and was just picking apart the Michigan secondary early. It was still one exciting game where I thought either team could've pulled it out from the end. Sorry, Bo. I still felt as though the team tried really hard and wanted to win one for you, but another time- another place perhaps. |

Hagglerock said it exactly right. Those were the two best teams in the nation right there. Ohio State's offense is absurd but there is no doubt UM's defense made mistakes and had bad breaks. Michael Hart was as heroic as ever and I can't wait to see the final chapter of the Henne and Hart story November 17, 2007 (the one year anniversary of Bo's passing) in Ann Arbor, when they demolish OSU to complete an undefeated season, and I and my fellow students rush the sacred Michigan Stadium field. and by the way: GIVE US A REMATCH |

Michigan is ranked #2 now, but it may not stay that way. I think that if USC (or possibly Arkansas or Florida) wins out, then there's a chance UM will drop in the BCS poll. For any of these teams to win out, it would take a victory over another team currently in the top 6 in the BCS. That would probably give them all the momentum they'd need to leapfrog UM. USC would have the best shot as they are just behind UM right now, and play #5 ND. It's going to be interesting to see what happens the next few weeks. |

When will these controversies convince the powers that be that it's time for a playoff system for Division 1-A football. The top eight in the BCS rankings play in a playoff. Period. It ends the crucial controversy of who's number one or two. A debate on if the eighth place team or the ninth place team deserves that eighth place spot is peanuts compared to the debate over number one and number two. Now, if Michigan is still ranked number two today and they have no more games to play until the bowl game, then how in the hell can another team leap frog over them? USC played and won on Saturday and didn't leap frog over Michigan. Even if they defeat Notre Dame and UCLA, I still can't see the justification for advancing them passed Michigan at that point. USC should have jumped over Michigan this weekend and if they lose to ND or UCLA, then Michigan could jump back into the number two spot. As it stands now, Michigan should remain number two despite what USC does, and therefore should play Ohio State for the "mythical" national championship. |

I heard a lot of folks on sports radio say that Michigan should play for the national championship because they only lost by three to the number one team. The fact is, the final score was close but this was not a close game. It wasn't like they went back and forth the entire game. Michigan was playing catch-up most of the game and were down by eleven before they scored with under three minutes left to go. Remember: they needed a two-point conversion, which they got, to get within three points. Then they needed a miracle (getting the on-side kick and then scoring to tie or win) which they didn't get. Playing close occurs when one team scores a last second touchdown or field goal or just misses a last second touchdown or field goal. Neither scenario happened in the Michigan-Ohio State game. Therefore, another reason needs to be argued that justifies Michigan getting a rematch with Ohio State. The argument that they only lost by three points doesn't cut it. |

Royce, I think I agree with you. This wasn't a back and forth game with a lot of lead changes. It wasn't won on the final possession. It wasn't a game that OSU seemed to win based on sheer will and determination. It actually seemed like a game that UM was fortunate to get within 3 points, and they were never really on the doorstep after the first quarter. No reason for a do-over. It looks like USC is likely going to the championship. |

Royce, Trailing by a couple of touchdowns never means the game is out of reach for either team, given the history of the rivalry. Even when U of M was down by two scores I never for once thought victory was out of reach. The same goes for ohio state when they were down 35-21, the last time Michigan won in 2003. Honestly, I think the osu fans that say the game wasn't close are only kidding themselves and are really afraid of a re-match that’s at a neutral site (without their barbaric fans vandalizing cars, ripping off any opposing teams license plates and urinating on anyone not wearing scarlet and gray.) Granted these comments are just my experience/perception, to me, that's simply the nature when these two teams meet each year. With that said, GO UCLA next week! |

The_rock, I stated that in my opinion I did not feel that the Michigan-Ohio State game was that close. I then stated that the argument that Michigan should play Ohio State again because they only lost by three was not the best justification for Michigan to play Ohio State again. I then gave my reasons to support my opinion. I have no problem with someone disagreeing with my opinion. However, your response didn't say, "Royce, I disagree with your opinion because..." No, your rebuttal was nothing more than a sophomoric, smart ass response, that had you said that to anyone else they would have responded to you in a similar manner as I did. The_rock, when you or Eastside have something to rebuttal, do it in a mature manner and offer some f'ing support for your rebuttal and not the crap you two shelled out about me personally. It has nothing to do with I think of myself as perfect. If you noticed, I didn't have anything negative to say to Hagglerock because Hagglerock stated his opinion and gave supporting arguments. As I stated earlier, I can't stand smart asses. So, when people like you, The_rock, and Eastside only offer an insult to me instead of a rebuttal to my argument I get ticked off. Attack the argument not the person. However, since you made this personal, you give me no choice but to attack you and your little Eastside dog too. BTW, The_rock I'm a he.

And it looks like I started it with a rather tart remark/response where I "bowed low to emotions". Sorry about that royce. My bad, as the younger member of the Forum say. Your analysis deserved a more definitive response. And I do agree with you that Michigan should have remained #2 even if USC knocked off ND---so did Michigan and by more points as I recall. If I am physically able, I will try to make the Forum football game next year and ask supersport to team us up along with eastside.

Florida is going to need a hell of a victory to have a shot of getting up to #2. |

If Michigan doesn't get into the title game, then a playoff for Division I-A is needed. There are no controversies in other Division I-A sports because they have an established playoff system that crowns an undisputed champion. Why does Division I-A college football still lag behind what makes the most sense? It's simple: money. The bowls make money and make everyone in I-A land very happy. And greed supercedes logic.

Addendum: Greed not only supercedes logic, but greed supercedes fairness. The idea that in this country, with all of its supposedly great values such as freedom and equality, that the almighty dollar is more important than fairness shows that hypocrisy is alive and well. Oh, and forget about the integrity of the game and what we teach college athletes about playing fair. It doesn't matter if your team goes undefeated and your team doesn't get a shot at the title because it has been determined that the money that can be made through the BCS system is more important than the fairness and integrity of the game. Would a playoff system of eight teams out of 119 Division 1-A schools be such a drain on the bowl concept? How many schools already go to non-championships bowls anyway, 60? I believe you can have a playoff and still keep the integrity and tradition of the bowls in place. Someone just has to say enough with greed and let's be fair to those teams that have worked hard all season to deserve a shot at the championship. |

Andy, This old fan would never do that. That said I won't even turn on the game and will end up playing board games with my wife. Go Scrabble! |

If OSU plays lousy defense as they did against UM, Florida will eat them up. |

Pythonmaster called it ^^. Big Ten overrated? That made two not-even-close spankings. Michigan's was slightly excusable in that Southern Cal was essentially playing a home game, but the Buckeye's?? Ouch. |

OSU and Michigan failed to show up--no question. Congratulations to both USC and Florida. I was interested to note the vaunted "depth" of the SEC, and how Tennessee and Arkansas fared against their competition from the "thin" Big T1e1n. |

I never thought I would ever come close to being sorry for a poor Ohio State performance, but I came pretty close last night. Maybe my sorrow is more directed at the Big Ten conference which fared so poorly in the bowl games. I was not impressed with Florida's win over Arkansas, but last night was a different story. They put it all together last night, and to hold OSU to a total of 74 yards offense has got to be one for the record books. And yes, I now have to send a less than modest check to my buddy down in Gainesville. That will teach me. |

Bottom line...the TEAMS on the field determine the game far more than any rankings, alumni support, media hype, analyst, etc. Team up with your household/family. Expect the same results. To err is human. To win is precious. |

Very disappointing indeed. Michigan couldn't come up with anything 'creative' in their playbook - USC could read the Wolverines like a wide-open postcard. OSU choked on this one, my Buckeye friends. The Gators now hold the NCAA basketball title and the NCAA football title at the same time - first time in history. Remember that Urban Meyer is from Ohio ..... coached at Bowling Green before going to Utah. Jim Tressel was outcoached and Heismann-winner Troy Smith was outplayed. Disappointing results all around for the Big 10 conference. |
