This will be the real title game. Any game after this will not be up to this standard. This game will have the rivalry factor. The conference championship. The right to beat the winner in the BCS title game. Michigan defense is extremely quick and powerful. I believe they are letting up only around 25 to 35 yards rushing a game . This will force the Buckeyes to pass, which will not work. Troy Smith has not played a team this tough all year long. Yes he beat Texas, but remember also Texas isnt as strong with Vince Young gone. Michigan did beat a good Notre Dame team, and beat them good. Turnovers will go in Michigans favor. So my prediction
Michigan 21
Ohio State 20

As a Michigan fan I think Ohio St. will most likely win the game. Ohio State has a better offense than Michigan, but I do think Michigan has a better defense. The Michigan defense this year is putting up the same numbers as the Ohio St. defense of last year. Michigan has the best defensive line in the country and that means they dont have to blitz the linebackers and cornerbacks. If they can get pressure on Troy Smith without blitzing the secondary the secondary can do their job on the OSU wide receivers while the linebackers can spy on Troy Smith and keep him contained. I think the game will be within a field goal with either team winning, but I think this game will go to Ohio St. because it is in Columbus.

Ohio State will win.
Troy Smith has a Heisman day each time he plays against Michigan. He trounced them a couple years ago. Last year he kept his composure and rallied the team with some great plays and a great catch by Gonzales and the OSU D stepping up to get them back in the lead and the win.
If Michigan tries to chase down Smith he'll run all over them again. If they lie back and wait and give him time to throw he will dismantle that Michigan secondary with one of the most talented receiving corps in the nation.
The only way this game will slow down the OSU offensive machine is if the weather is bad... and even then, OSU has played games in some horrible weather this years so they are used to it.
GO BUCKEYES!!! OSU 32 Michigan 17

I think Ohio State will. Basically the team is all around better.
Its a close match up though. Ohio State has a better offense and an amazing defense. They are getting turnovers and not giving up points and the offense can almost score at will against anyone. Michigan is no slouch though. Their weapons are almost as good. I just think it'll all come down to mistakes. I think Ohio State causes more and makes less.

The Ohio State Buckeyes WILL DEFEAT the meechigan woolveweenies!!! The Buckeyes possess a BETTER defense than the woolveweenies. The Buckeyes possess a BETTER offense than the woolveweenies. The Buckeyes have a BETTER Coach than the woolveweenies. The Buckeyes have BETTER skilled position players AT ALL POSITIONS than the woolveweenies.
This is one of, if not the best, rivalry games in all college football history. Therefore, it will be played as a VERY tough, physical game, and The Buckeyes will pull ahead and win over the woolveweenies in the fourth quarter.
GO BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!

U of M will win. They're defense is too fast and Manningham and Arrington will go wild if OSU tries to pack the line to stop Hart. Unless Troy Smith plays his best game it's Michigan cruising to a 31-17 victory. If Smith plays great 31-28. Something like that.

no point in even arguing even though its close i think ohio state has the obvious better team but still every michigan fan in here will tell you how they suck and every game they have won this year was luck even though every game has been by scores of like 30 somthing to 7. even though he sucks I hope troy smith gets lucky agian and throws 4 touchdowns that game and its a total blow out, even though we will still suck and it will be pure luck that we even win that game.
