I am a giant Buckeye fan, so if the question were who do I want to win, I would say OSU, but I am very worried for the Michigan game.
The reasons why I believe that OSU will probably win are:
1. They are playing at home in the Horse Shoe
2. Chad Henning gets shaken up by big crowd and loud noise. When Henning loses it, he usually does not get it back.
3. Smith, Ginn, Gonzalez, Pittman, & Laurenaitis.
The reasons why I think that Michigan may win:
1. The OSU/Michigan rivalry is so big that when the play you have to toss out everything you think you know, and hope for the best (two years ago Michigan was a better team than OSU but we won because you don't hold anything back against Michigan)
2. Last year after Michigan's loss to Nebraska they got rid of 5 of their assistant coaches and brought back some of their old coaches to help. Jim Tressel (OSU) is one of the very best head coaches in the country, but Michigan has better assistant coaches.
3. This was actually supposed to be more of a rebuilding year for OSU and Michigan actually has an older (more experienced) team. That can account for a lot in a huge game like this.
Anyway... to make a short answer long, I think that it could go either way but I do believe that OSU will pull it out in the end. Which ever team wins, is the guaranteed National Champion!

Will be a good game.I think if Smith plays like he did against Penn State,Ohio's championship hopes are gone and so is the Heisman.Michigan IS NOT overrated.Give me a break.They are one of the most sound teams there is.Where exactly is their weakness????I haven't seen a Good team get spanked like that in quite a while.....Notre Dame wasn't even in that game!!!
If this game was played in September there would be good reason for a rematch in January.Too Bad!

Michigan is not overated and deserves to be ranked second. Ohio State will win-but it will be very close! Ohio State has too many weapons and it has been proven Jim Trussell outcoaches Lloyd Carr with all due respect.

I think the game will be a very close and exciting game. I think Michigan is underrated this year. This game will look like the national championship. I'd be willing to bet whoever wins this one romps whoever else they play for the national title.

Ohio State! And not another thought about it! Michigan is WAY over-rated!

i am a purdue and michigan fan but i think the buckeyes will win because of the great accuracy of troy smith, the speed of ted ginn, the great hands of anthony gonzalez, and the great defensive presence of james laurinaitis.
