Go Blue, Beat ND

As an Ohio State fan, piling on the ineptitude of Michigan's performance is too easy. When John Cooper became head coach we had to endure an initially dreadful season and the same comments - the team is too slow. And since most of America is hatin' on the big ten, it will come as no surprise that if OSU does beat Michigan, it will be downplayed as a weak team getting beaten by an inferior highly-ranked team. Woody Hayes (I think) once said that his two favorite teams were OSU and whoever plays Michigan this week. That was convenient to say when national championship voting and placement in the BCS is not up for grabs. Now that Strength of Schedule and looking at the opponents a team beats is coming more into play - similar to seeding March Madness, I believe OSU fans need to take a different approach. Root for OSU and root for each Big 10 team's opponents to lose each week. The best thing that can happen is that the Big 10 develops a national image similar to the SEC of a dominating conference. But when Michigan loses to Utah, Illinois gets embarrassed by Missouri, Michigan State gets crushed by Cal, the national image of the Big Ten is that the teams can beat up on the patsies like Youngstown State, or Penn State running up the score on Coastal Carolina - but can't win the big games when it matters. I just hope that Michigan can beat Notre Dame and OSU beats USC - this may silence some critics
