Match Of The Week Preview:
(By MikeFromOhio)
 

Weekend Eleven threw the entire BCS mess into an even bigger mess if that is possible. No fewer than 3 one loss teams lost (Texas, Auburn, Cal) while another one (Florida) needed to block 3 kicks to win their game 17-16 against South Carolina. This we

+ek is the week that just about everyone in the national media has been waiting for. The greatest rivalry in college football renews and that game finds that Ohio State is #1 and Michigan is #2 for the first time in the 102 game history of this game.

Saturday, November 18th, 2006 (ABC)

at

(2) Michigan at (1) Ohio State (-6.5)

It doesn’t get any better than this. For the FIRST time ever, an 11-0 Ohio State team will play an 11-0 Michigan team. For the FIRST time ever, the teams are ranked 1 and 2 in every major poll. For the FIRST time ever, the loser of this game will end up in the Rose Bowl. This is the best rivalry in college football, and this one clearly has the best setup of any of those previous 102 games.

Ohio State and Michigan have both played dominant defense and very well on offense. Ohio State has a Heisman candidate in Troy Smith and Michigan has a Heisman candidate in Mike Hart. Ohio State has a coach that has brought a new focus to this rivalry whereas Michigan has the coach who was so dominant in this rivalry that Ohio State was forced to make a change. Does it sound like I’m having issues picking this game? Really I’m not. Every comparison for these teams shows that Ohio State is better on offense while Michigan is better on defense except for scoring defense. In the end, this game will come down to who makes the bigger plays. I think Troy Smith, who has burned Michigan each of the previous two years, will make enough plays to allow Ohio State to win this game.

Ohio State 28 – Michigan 18

THE most important college football matchup this coming weekend...

[luvie]

I'm good. Just trying to get braced for the Christmas season which begins the day after Thanksgiving...ugh!

Enjoying this fall weather, which is supposed to be much cooler by tomorrow night.

[mylife]

The weather is great! I'm loving it! Best darn time of the year in my estimation.

Christmas has snuck up on me again

[luvie]

I love it, too. I sleep like a baby all cuddled up under my quilts!

Now Christmas....I could do without it until I don't have to work during that season. I don't get a chance to enjoy it at all. Never can go anywhere and don't have time to think about my own shopping.

[mylife]

Christmas is out of control L0L

I went to buy halloween candy, Halloween night, there was hardly any.
The shelves were however, loaded with Christmas candy.

I love Christmas but is so commercialized
