Go game everyone.

No sour grapes. No whining. OSU played a slightly better game than Michigan.

I'm pulling for a rematch in 7 weeks. That game was too good. No one else is going to give OSU a game like that.

How about the others, Florida and Arkansas and.... pssh... Notre Dame.


Did those teams have their one loss to a team as good as OSU ? That's the question, isn't it ?

you are really annoying..


no one knows what would have happened without that penalty, so get over it..

haha eat shyt, dicknose. just enjoy your win and stfu.
 
Great game, terrible call on helmet to helmet hit. Way to change the game entirely on a weak hit. Sorry that I spend 3.5 hrs of my life watching a game to see the refs control it in the end.

I don't even like either team, but just sad to see that call be such a difference.

If Rutgers loses, I'd like to see a rematch. Pac 10 sucks, SEC is way overrated. Michigan will give Ohio State the best game of the 1 loss teams.

Who says? That was like watching a Big East game. Where were the vaunted defenses?

Looking at the remaining games. I think there is a 50/50 shot at a rematch. IMHO.

Arkansas is going to lose to LSU and Florida is going to lose to Akransas.

I think USC is going to lose to Cal and they will beat Notre Dame.

Rutgers is going to lose to Cincy. And WVU will be Rutgers.

This hands the #2 spot to Michigan.

Those other teams have had disappointing losses to lower ranked teams. And Notre Dame lost to Michigan, so obviously you can't rank them ahead of Michigan.

:thumbsup:

I underestimated Michigan's offense, I thought this was a great game by both teams.

This was Michigan's game to win... bad playcalling and a crucial penalty did them in.

However, considering everyone was saying OSU was the best of the best, I think UM did a great job.
I agree that Michigan shot themselves in the foot with bad playcalling and that dumb penalty.

OSU needs to get a new center and LEARN HOW TO STOP THE RUN, I'd love to see a real rushing team like WVU test them. On a high note, Troy Smith was good except his forced INT into double coverage. Good enough for the Heisman? Maybe...

Uh, top defense vs top offense. There were a bunch of turnovers. The score could have been much higher.

And the answer is, in terms of ranking, of course not but if that's the only justification for who should go in the national championship, this game didn't even have to be played because the loser will have a one loss game against a #1 rank. In my opinion, OSU and Michigan played, we saw who won. I would rather see the winner play against another team they haven't played to see another match up. I'm not a big fan of 'do overs' in terms of match ups.
 
Best win by a one loss team - Michigan 47-21 over #5 Notre Dame
Best loss by a one loss team - Michigan 39-42 to #1 Ohio State

Time to start making my case. 🙂

I honestly dont see Michigan dropping past three in the human polls if USC wins. Meaning #2 if USC loses tonight.

There's no reason to think that call, which was a good call, would have changed the final outcome. It would have changed one possession, but who knows what difference that would make.

And what about the call in the first half on OSU hitting the center, which turned a Michigan punt into a first down..the OSU player barely even touched the center..but that's the rule.


There's really no point complaining about stuff like that, especially when it happens in the middle of the game when there's no way to say what difference it would make.

I think that's a pretty common sentiment. I doubt there'll be any crying over the championship (a la USC 2003 or Auburn 2004) if OSU beats three #2's in a season.

do you work for the bush administration or something? you honestly don't think that if that 15 yard penalty on 3rd down would have changed the game?

Barely touched the center? OSU pancaked him before he had a chance to look up, lol.

I think both calls were fine, Cradle saw Smith was going out of bounds and decided to helmet to helmet him anyway... the refs have to protect the QB in that situation.

Mr asshole whiner, I said there's no way to know..without the penalty, it would have led to a punt by Ohio State, or a field goal attempt, and you habve no fvckin way of knowing what the outcome of that would have been. Michigan might have muffed the punt and OSU scored off that, for example.

Ha, seriously. It didn't happen in the "middle", it happened on a crucial possession in the last quarter! It was a bs call that changed the outcome of the game. It was unfortunate.

Look passed the fanboism and realize that it was a weak call in a greatly played game.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the rematch but think that if it happens it would be a great game. I'll always wonder what would have happened had Michigan given Hart more carries, OSU could not stop the run.

Rutgers just needs to get to #3 or #4 in the polls to make it, as they are #2 in the computers.

If the make it past Cincy which I dont think they will. WVU will pound the living daylights out of Rutgers.
