I'm rooting for Michigan, but i'll laugh if Iowa wins. Part of me will be happy either way, but ever since I was little i've always invisioned this #1 vs. #2 match-up...and usually Michigan loses early so I just get to root for more losses as the season goes on. But after last weeks games, this is the first time in my memory where it's actually a very realistic change of it happening.

On a side note, I almost always root against Michigan...and in bowl games i'm neutral.
 
There could be nothing better than stomping out the hopes and dreams of a #2 ranked scUM team on our way to another NC. For that I say go Meatchicken.

btw troy, that sig pic is cool but you spelled skies wrong. it should be sky's:biggrin:

I root for Michigan in out-of-conference games, including bowl games. But come the Big Ten schedule, I typically root against them. And usually it's because a Michigan loss helps Ohio State. If Michigan were 1-3 in the Big Ten, and Iowa was 3-1, I'd probably root for Michigan.

A Michigan loss really doesn't help Ohio State this time, though. Ohio State would still have to beat a one-loss Michigan team to get the automatic BCS bid. Michigan would need two losses in order for Ohio State to lock the BCS bid before The Game.

I would like to see a kick-ass Ohio State vs. Michigan - 1 vs. 2 game. That would be hella sweet if Ohio State were to win that game. But it would hella suck if Ohio State were to lose that game. If Ohio State loses to Michigan, I'd want Michigan no where near the BCS championship game.

Finally, I want good ol' Lloyd to keep his job. A strong 12-1 season, where he loses only to Ohio State, will go a long way to keeping him from the hot-seat.

But I can't root for Michigan. I voted for Iowa.

Got to root for Iowa although I think scUM will win decesively. Ohio State doesn't need to beat another highly ranked team to go to the BCS title game. I can't deal with scUM having any kind of chance for an NC. I want them beaten just in case we can't do it.

Who do I think will win?

Michigan. They are the better team in the first place and I think Iowa is in the verge of a collapse. Maybe not Michigan St-esque, but they might struggle to make the Alamo Bowl this year.

I would want Michigan to win only to keep the 1 vs. 2 matchup locked and loaded. That's it. If that wasn't going to be possible, I'd hope Iowa kicks the crap out of them.

In closing, I hope for a hard physical game. The harder hitting the better.

I feel you guys on a 1v2 OSU vs them match up... BUT COME ON, NO BUCKEYE ROUTES FOR MICHIGAN (except vs ND and in Bowl Games)

Sorry sparky, even the program fillers on JT's squad (who you root for) know that there will be plenty of buckeye routes used against UM.

I voted that I want Michigan to win; but I'm sure once the game is started I'll catch myself cheering for the other team. Hawkeyes is it? Whatever.

I really want November 18th to be historic. I want it to be soul-crushing for Michigan. But in the heat of the moment I almost always feel a twinge of excitement when the other team converts a big third down against them. Old habits and all that...

If Michigan loses to Iowa, then the return of 3-Loss Lllloyd is set in to motion. They then lose to Ohio State and in their bowl game, as usual, and it would be complete.

Last year really was a treat. To quote Michigan's running back and Heisman hopeful Mike Hart (you don't have to be intelligent to be a Heisman candidate):

We don't ever lose three games a year. If we lost three, what would that make us look like?

It would make you look a whole lot better than your team ended up looking like.
