It sounds like you need some convincing. How about this?

OSU under Tressel has beaten UM under Carr five of six times since Tressel took over the head coach position in 2001.

Troy Smith was the quarterback for the Buckeyes in the last three games of the series, and Chad Henne was the quarterback for the (losing) Wolverines. The scores were 21-37, 21-25, and 39-42 UM to OSU (2004, 2005, 2006 respectively).

Troy Smith is the first quarterback to lead the Buckeyes to three consecutive wins over Michigan since Tippy Dye accomplished this feat (1934-36).

IMO, there is a pretty good chance that any rematch between OSU and UM this season will end up much like the last several times that Tressel has gone up against Carr. It hasn't mattered where they play.

For my money, I'd much rather watch the Buckeyes go against a team they don't get to play every year. It's not like Florida is a completely unworthy opponent.
