What do you think about #2 Michigan @ #1 Ohio State on Nov. 18?

[BB73]

What about 1973? Both were undefeated going into The Game - what were the teams ranked that year?

1. tOSU..........9-0
2. Alabama......9-0
3. Oklahoma....8-0-1
4. TSUN.........10-0
5. ND.............8-0
6. Penn St......10-0
7. LSU...........9-0

You're kidding! All those undefeated teams!! How did they figure out who was the national champion without a playoff, computer polls, or even the BCS?! :crazy:

Years where both teams were undefeated/untied and the result in the modern era...
1973 - tOSU 10 - UM 10
1970 - tOSU 20 - UM 9

Easy. They gave it to Notre Dame. tOSU ended up #2.

That should say undefeated and untied, unless it adds 1975.

In 1975, tOSU was again #1 at 10-0, and TSUN was #4 at 8-0-2.

No matter where scUM is rated they will still suck. Given a choice, I'd rather see them have another spectacular 7-5 season.

I'm sure Alabama fans disagree.

I have a feeling scUM is going to lose two before playing us. MSU and PSU. The environment in PSU is going to be sae as it was when we played them last year. I doubt scUM can survive that.

 

[akronbuck]

I hope they win it out until they get bitchsmacked by :osu: .

and MSU, lOWA AND CHEESECONSIN perform well to make the BIG TEN SEEM GOOD THIS YEAR.

I'm sorry but I dont think UM will be #2 when we play them. The only problem is that for that to happen USC must lose and I dont see that happening. I would like to see The Game be 1 vs 2 but i won't bet against USC untill they lose.

 

[ytownbuckeye]

go head and bring that shit to the shoe cuz only the buckeyes are walkin out undefeated big 10 champs O-H_gonz-O

USC has a brutal run at the end of their schedule: Oregon, Cal, Notre Dame, @UCLA.

The way they played tonight against UNL, they could take a loss, even two.

If we're still no.1 at the end of the season, id MUCH rather have michigan also playing for something (at least the big10 title if not no.2) because they will play tense, playing on the road and the recent psychological edge we have over them. The thing I worry about is them not having anything to lose, and coming down here playing loose, while our guys tighten up trying to wrap up a possible spot in the bcs title game.

 

[buckeye247]

That would be the greatest game ever. Michigan looks really good, Gibbs has that line working really well.

Edit- There are alot of games left though.

 

[Steve19]

Greatest game ever, I don't know, but it would be the world as it should be. I'd like to see TSUN lose just one game a year and lose it to us badly. Then go win their bowl game. Can't get rid of IVoyd, can't keep him around.

There's a cosmic tension in that that I just love.
