Just my opinion on this game and although I am from Ohio, I am not a Buckeye fan nor a Wolverine fan. I think that the Buckeyes win this game straight up, but I also feel this is a good game to pass on due to the history of this rivalry. I have watched both teams play numerous times this year and comparing the teams:

QB- Advantage OSU
Krenzel may not be the purest of QB's but he just wins, he seems to make good decisions and doesnt hurt his team. Navarre, has been a disappointment and seems to have a lack of judgement. Navaree is more of the pure QB but Krenzel bottom line has been a winner,

RB-OSU
Clarett or not the Buckeyes are deep.

WR-Even
Mich has the bigger more physical receivers, OSU has the playmakers in JEnkins and Gamble.

OLINE- Even
OSU's line has been regrssing in the past few weeks against inferior opponets.


DLINE-Mich

Slight edge to Mich depending on the injury situation for the Buckeye, could also be called even.

LB's-OSU

Seven capable Linebackers on the Buckeyes

Secondary-Mich

Even with Doss the injuries have severely weakened the Buckeyes secondary

Kicking-OSU
More than likely Buckeyes have the best kicking game in the country.

Coaching-Mich
Only because Carr has been in this game more than Tressel, while there is no doubt Tressel has done a good job this year, I have noticed that he is getting ultra conservative the past few weeks.

Summary

I see OSU winning this game and I feel the difference will be OSU's kicking game and Wolverines lack of a kicking game. Passing the point spread and calling a Buckeye win 21-17
