It is as big as it gets this week when #2 Michigan travels to Columbus to face #1 Ohio State for the biggest game in college football this year. This may also be the biggest game of the two schools storied rivalry. These two teams are seperated by a few mere thousanths of a point in the BCS standings. The big question also remains, if these two should rematch for the National Championship.The only way I see them rematching would be if #3 USC gets beat by #5 Notre Dame. Notre Dame got thumped at home by Michigan earlier this year, and #4 Florida may not even win their conference title, they still have tough games ahead. Michigan and Ohio State have dominated with defense all season and are both still undefeated. A new player emerging in the BCS question is Rutgers. They too are undefeated and just beat former #3 Louisville.
Through all the Michigan VS Ohio State games though, this is the biggest. The last time these two were both unbeaten was 1973. That game ended in a 10-10 tie leaving both unbeaten and OSU getting the vote to go to the Rose Bowl. Of the 102 previous meetings between Michigan and Ohio State, just four have come when both teams were undefeated. And just nine have seen both teams ranked in the Top 5.
This Saturday at 3:30 pm EST we will all find out just how evenly matched these two teams are. If either team wins in a blow out there is now way they will rematch for the National Championship, if it is close they just might.The other winner in all this, Wisconsin? Would they then be the next team in line for the Rose Bowl? Not likely. If the Wolverines and Buckeyes rematch there would not be a Big Ten team in the Rose Bowl. That hasn't happened since..........well last year
