    WOW. I didn't think I'd get that kind of response. I was bummed UM lost. That's what I thought sucked. The game was a classic.

    You know, I'm not delusional. SC still has to play it's biggest rivals so anything can happen. But, soul, I think you and I can agree that we would much rather see UM or SC play OSU in the title game than Florida or Arkansas. And if ND somehow beats SC and they get #2 in the BCS I will file a class action suit against the NCAA.

    i would not mind playing florida or arkansas at all. though my roomate went to uf so i may just want to rub it in his face there ;)

    honestly, i feel like a rematch would only taint and confuse what was a stellar season for both teams. if michigan loses again, their near-flawless season looks not so appealing. if ohio state loses, you have those annoying 1-1 naysayers.

    truly, i like the thought of letting osu and michigan both go out strong on a big win against a great opponent. it is clear they are the best two teams in the country. if michigan plays osu and loses or vice versa, you're going to have one of those teams drop out of the top 2 or 3. bring on florida and usc, let ohio state and michigan beat them both and finish 1 and 2 as they should be.

    however, i guess if lsu beats arkansas and arkansas beats florida and notre dame beats usc and thus is the only one-loss team besides michigan, then michigan has to go. in any other scenario, i say send osu and michigan to separate bowl games and let them both play diff one-loss teams just to emphasize how good they are.

    If Michigan really is the second best team in college football, they should play Osu again. Don't give me any of that crap (this isn't addressed to you. It's more for people like Urban Meyer) about how a rematch would cheapen the significance of the first meeting. College Football Coaches like Urban Meyer wanted the computers to decide things. As one of the writers for my local paper said, you either live with the computers or you dump them, you can't just unplug them. If Michigan is deemed better than USC (and I went to USC. So I'm not biased against them) and Florida by the bcs system that the coaches themselves wanted when all is said, then they should play Osu again

    i dont think it would cheapen the first game at all. im just convinced michigan wouldn't win a rematch either and id rather see them beat florida or something and finish number 2 than lose to osu again and finish 4th or 5th.

    plus, i kinda want osu to hve a crack at usc. at the end of last season i was convinced osu was a better team than usc or texas. granted, usc is not the same team they were last year, but nonetheless i like a chance for osu to rattle that invincible trojans bubble the critics have given them over the past few years.

    truly, having watched michigan, i dont think anyone can stop osu's offense. im sorry but when you can run 5 quality wide receivers and a qb with enough cool to run through the progressions and find the open one under pressure... he's going to beat you every time. if you try to cover them all, he either runs, or gives it to their 2 top notch backs to run on you. they simply cannot be stopped. osu went conservative coming into the second half and that's the only reason the michigan game was as close as it was. tressel wont make that mistake again. whoever plays them needs a miracle. id just as soon it not be michigan. they played a helluva game, but i dont think they'd get that close again.

    I'd love either team. I'm an Arkansas fan, and went to law school there, so I'd love to see that....though that is a long shot at this point.

    But it is not a long shot for Arkansas to beat Flordia in the SEC championship. I'm looking forward to that game!!! Should be a great one....but AR must focus on LSU first.

    I went to UF also for a year to study tax law, but was not there long enough to become a Gator fan.

    And I know USC beat AR at the first of the year, but I'd love to see them match up again.....AR is not the same team since that loss...it would be a much better game.

    SEC and Rose Bowl should never be said in the same sentence EVER!

    I agree... unfortunately that is today's college football... losing its tradition one year at a time.

    man, there were some harsh lessons last january... :)

    anyway, thought i'd bump this. not quite as much at stake this season, certainly nowhere near the excitement of last season, but i'm still excited and it's still one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports. can the buckeyes keep hart/henne oh for ohio? i think so.

    this time it's not for all the marbles, but like the good ole days, it's for the big ten championship and the rose bowl. i dig :D

    let me add a big fuck you to mike hart. nice to see this big time shit talker play like the punk ass he is. what a pathetic performance... congrats on oh for ohio hart.

    i feel kinda sorry for the rest of michigan. they've had a tough season and a lot of injuries. a lot of mental mistakes (when does manningham drop THREE passes in one game?) made for a pretty hapless performance. bummer for carr if this is his last season. but the buckeyes just dominated. wells ran like a motherfucker and boeckman did what he needed (basically not drop the fucking ball anymore after the first qtr) to keep the lead.

    This is a great rivalry. Probably top 20 in all of college football.
