Cam Newton was the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Barack Obama was still in his first presidential term. The iPhone 4 was just released. That was also the last year Michigan defeated Ohio State in football... until Saturday.
The Wolverines, after 10 years of frustration, finally defeated their bitter rivals, 42-27. Michigan (11-1), which entered at No. 5 in the College Football Playoff rankings, will now jump into position to make its first playoff appearance. A win in the Big 10 championship game next weekend would nearly guarantee it.
Ohio State (10-2) moved up to No. 2 in the CFP rankings last week, but it will now likely miss the playoff for the first time since 2018.

Too bad both universities couldn’t lose.

Buckeye alum here. Hail to the victors! Sometimes getting one’s arse kicked is good for the soul. That and perhaps the football deities demanded their pound of flesh for two decades of Ohio State dominance.
Alabama trying to eliminate themselves now
Iowa will still be alive with a WISC loss tonight
Baylor still alive.
Notre Dame ... if a couple teams lose
ND is perpetually overrated BS.
There’s Georgia, and then everyone else this year.
I think the SEC Championship is the National Championship...
Game was closer than the score, unlike so many against the bucks in recent years, but nice to see them finally beat TTDS.
OSU got trashed, you canât give up 200+ yards rushing and win.
Agree on ND. theyâve been over rated since 1989.
For Michigan fans this is like emerging from the dark ages into the enlightenment.
Great football. The snowy weather and the raucous crowd in the packed stadium really added atmosphere to the game.
Should be interesting to listen to Hugh Hewitt’s Monday broadcast!
You too, huh?
3rd quarter almost at end and alabama is still scoreless
So true. Bama looks like crap. Good for Michigan.
Iowa? To the national championship? Michigan would be their first victory against a currently ranked team...and Iowa has TWO losses... and to Wisconsin and Purdue? Notre Dame beat both of those teams. The SEC will get a berth. Unless Houston beats them, Cinci will get a berth. And then there’s Notre Dame, and the winner of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game.
No kidding, Georgia’s defense is all time good, I thought the only team that might be able to hang with them was Ohio State, that idea got destroyed today, I don’t see a team out there with a good enough offense with a great QB who could score enough points to make the game close...
They even have their normal QB as backup if Bennett gets hurt.
I’m not sure if Georgia’s secondary is good, because I’ve never seen them tested...
Alabama is blowing it...
