Thread: NCAA Football Week 12 OSU v Michigan

Great game. Lived up to the hype for sure. Both teams played outstanding football.

Rematch in Tempe?

Nope wont be a rematch. I think the loser which from what I have heard was Michigan....wont be there. It will be USC.

You must be at work. Ohio State won 42-39, awesome game. Some of the talking heads said IF the OSU/Michigan game went down to the wire, and only by a couple of points, then there is a CHANCE Michigan would still go to the BCS, and that is exactly what happened. I honestly think they deserve it....

USC is always such a favorite by alot of people in the bcs.

Maybe, USC is losing right now

No kidding who are they losing to? And whats the score?

they are playing Cal.

No worries though. They have just gone up by 2 TDs in the 4th quarter.

USC will be there in the end.

I hope there is a rematch. That was basically the Championships right there. What an awesome game. Ohio st. played alot better then how close the game was.

USC still has some tough games to close out the schedule.

Notre Dame

The game did not go down to the wire, IMO. OSU was in control. Michigan only had possesion with a chance to take the lead once in second half, and that drive was stopped well in their own territory. OSU took the ball, went down and put them up by enough. The went into the dreaded prevent and gave up the late TD.

This game means absolutely nothing if they rematch. College dosen't have a playoff system, so need to get as many different matchups as possible. I want to see how OSU does against the SEC champion or PAC 10 champion or ND, or Rutgers (OOPS, thank the football gods they lost). Michigan may or may be the second best team in the country. I would put the them 4 right now. But we already know that OSU better than them. Let's find if their better than the others.

I don't agree. Go back in the thread, I made the point that if anything USC has gotten screwed by the BCS in the past. The reason they always at the top is because the usually are one of the top 2 teams in the country. Who's to say that Michigan is definitely the second best team in the country. Why, because they played OSU tight, so did Illinois.

Here's the newest coaches poll which is half the BCS. Looks like Michigan will be third in line for the championship, behind USC, and the winner of the SEC. Best case senario is ND beats USC and Florida ( v FSU, SEC championship) and Arkansas ( v LSU, SEC championship) each lose a game. And, if ND should kill USC on the road they could possibly slip in. NCAA has a history of putting a team higher than a team that beat them, even when they have the same record. FSU over ND and Washington over Miami are 2 off the top of my head.

Coaches Poll
No. School Record Points Prev
1 Ohio State 12-0 1575 1
2 Southern California 9-1 1444 4
3 Michigan 11-1 1428 2

5 Arkansas 10-1 1302 6
6 Notre Dame 10-1 1285 5
7 West Virginia 9-1 1151 7
8 LSU 9-2 1081 9
9 Wisconsin 11-1 1053 10
10 Texas 9-2 994 11

Very true, but in college it's who's the hottest team now, not what happened at the begining of the season. That being said, I'm probably the only Irish fan that thinks they should have no chance at all to get it.

new BCS is out

Insignifigant right now... Isn't funny that Michigan will be ND's Greatest fans. Brady Quinn should throw the game for the hell of it.

Yea, Michigan will be hoping on Arkansas and ND wins. I don't think Florida would jmp both teams if they beat Arkansas though.

You never know, Harris computer rankings will favor the SEC champ because of strenght of schedule. If the coaches vote them as high as 3, it's gonna be damn close.

And don't underestimate FSU in this rivalry game.

Herbstreit jsut said there's no way Ark or FL has a shot anymore, style points. Down to USC, Michigan and OSU

and the Colts just lost.

All depends on the final coaches vote... Ironic that one of the top 3 games of the century so far, may mean absolutely nothing.

Haha thats true, I'd lvoe to see a split too.
