Well first I would like to handicap the game next week. I agree that Ohio State is the favorite given their home field advantage and track record this season, and I say that as a Michigan fan and alumnus. However I think Michigan has a very good chance of winning. Michigan is a 6.5-7 point underdog, but to win out I would put Ohio State at 3-2 odds to win. I guessing the odds makers have Ohio State at a 3-1 or 4-1 to win, but I like Michigan’s chances. If I bet on sports (I don’t, at least not anymore ) I might take Michigan in this game. If they play like they did in South Bend then they win. Maybe this is my totally biased view coming out, but I have watched every game this year and I think this team can do it if they bring their A game.

Now, for the BCS problem. Its looking that if Michigan squeaks out a win in Columbus they could end up having a rematch with OSU in the Fiesta bowl BCS Championship. That would be a disaster, because it doesn’t look as likely if OSU wins in a close game. Check out Mvictors and Greg Dooley’s great analysis here.
