The scoreboard indicated a 3 point game, but it wasn't. I agree with Spanked. Michigan never had the lead.

Texas lost to KSU by only 3 points, but anyone who saw the game would agree that was a spanking, also.

Are you kidding me? Thats like telling someon from USC that they got "spanked" in the National Championship last year. Don't be an idiot. The Kansas State game was a spanking.....but you can't compare it to Michigan Ohio State. We lost our QB, had no pass game, got destroyed through the air, and gave up 45 points.

Let's see, Michigan and Ohio State were nearly identical in terms of offense. Michigan having a total collapse in their run defense didn't help......and was probobly the deciding factor in the game because it allowed Ohio State to control the clock better. That 50+ yard TD run up the middle on a draw in the 2nd quarter didn't help either. Michigan was also a terrible 4-13 on 3rd down. Aside from that......I saw a Michigan team rack up 400 yards of offense and force 3 turnovers in one of the toughest places in football to play. Ohio State doesn't lose there. Michigan led the game in the first quarter.......and outscored Ohio State in the 3rd and 4th quarters. If anything, Michigan had Ohio State clearly on the ropes. To say that Michigan got "spanked" is extremely moronic.

It almost seems like OSU should just be given the BCS Championship and the bowl game should be between Michigan and Florida to determine 2nd place. OSU is the only undefeated team and statistically, outranks everybody else.

Michigan had an outstanding season. Unfortunately, it coincided with Ohio State's more outstanding season and they are in the same conference. I don't think anybody in Michigan really believed we'd go to the BCS Championship bowl game because we did play them already (and lost, and it wasn't a spanking, it was a very close game), the television market wouldn't be as good if two teams from the same conference were playing, and, they really don't want OSU to lose and Michigan is the only team that has the ability to beat them.

I was enjoying your post right up until "and, they really don't want OSU to lose and Michigan is the only team that has the ability to beat them." The sweatervest is 5-1 vs. Michigan.

While it wasn't a spanking, Ohio State-Michigan, IMO, was not as close as the final score appeared. Absent Michigan's opening drive TD, they never led, and were down 14 points at halftime. OSU had two second-half, unforced turnovers (bad snaps from center, which is why I call them unforced), one deep in their own territory that led to 10 Michigan points. Michigan did cash it in (credit to them), but I don't think it was, in reality, a 3-point contest.

I think OSU-Florida will be a good game. I think the Buckeyes will prevail.

As lame as UF is, and as much of a little bitch as Urban is, he didn't really say anything inappropriate about Michigan, at least that I heard. He is just campaigning for your team, which is what you've got to do (Tubs did it in 2004, didn't work, though).

Yes, there was no spanking in Columbus that day. I hard kick to the butt, but no spanking.

The Gators better get their rears' ready, b/c I think the real spank will be on them.

I don't. Florida played the toughest schedule in all of college football and lost their one game on a highly controversial call. I really don't know if the Leak fumble was one or wasn't.....too hard to tell from my standpoint....but still. The only way I can see Florida getting their ass kicked is if Ohio State puts constant pressure on him. As we all know.........Leak turns into a little weenie bitch when a defender gets anywhere near the pocket.
