I've not followed Michigan much as a program or any staff contract extensions. All I know is Harbaugh is 0-4 against Ohio State. Does anyone think he is legitimately on the hot seat?

He has to be.

j/c...

Wow. That was an absolute beatdown.

Go Bucks!

He had no answer for OSU, and that should get him fired IMO. Brings back the memories of John Cooper, and Gordon Gee extending his contract which pissed off everyone in a 500mile radius of Columbus.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MICHIGAN REVENGE TOUR CANCELED

COLUMBUS: Michigan football's Revenge Tour™ was abruptly canceled today during the 4th quarter of the Wolverines' loss to Ohio State, its seventh consecutive defeat in the rivalry and 16th in the last 18 seasons.

"I'm not sure what happened," said Michigan captain and DE Truck Stop Fabio. "We got every call all afternoon. Ohio State made a ton of mistakes. This doesn't seem fair."

The Buckeyes rolled up over 500 yards of offense as Dwayne Haskins went over 300 yards passing with five touchdowns, picking apart Don Brown's defense with the meticulousness of a forensics officer, or Chris Holtmann; either comparison works here.

"We have the best defense in the country," said Michigan star DT Actual Garbage Pail Kid. "Ask Rutgers or Western Michigan."

Disbelief washed over the visitor sideline as the inevitability washed over road team.

"I don't understand it, I guaranteed victory," said Comprehensively Average Running Back Karan Higdon. "Why didn't it work?"

O-H-I-O

He got outcoached so bad it wasn't even funny. People are saying the second half adjustments (or lack thereof) really hurt Harbaugh, but Michigan was never really in the game minus that crazy 45 seconds towards the end of the 1st half. That has to be a concern in Ann Arbor. They can have a great season, but if Harbaugh doesn't know how to beat Urban/Ohio State, then that's a big problem.

It seems like Harbaugh runs his offense like he is still at Stanford. At Stanford he created a formula, that David Shaw still uses today, where he ran the ball with a great offensive line because those were the guys he could recruit at Stanford. He wasn't getting many five star guys at Stanford. Now at Michigan he runs the same offense despite having great guys across the board.

All I can say is: That was one fun game!

Great game Buckeyes, loved every minute of it.

And When We Win the Game, We'll Buy A Keg of Booze!

The TV camera showed Urban Meyer's wife crying in the stands as the game drew to a close. Listening to the post game presser, Urban was asked what it was like to greet his waiting wife and family as he entered the locker room after the win, and he seemed to have a momentary breakdown - too choked up to speak for a few moments. I think he's leaving after this season. If so, job well done, Coach.

I'm just glad the incesint Michigan smack talk will disappear from my FB page. I've got a lot of Michigan fan friends and just bit my lip all season with the smack talk. This is the happiest I've been in a long time with a Buckeye victory over TTUN.

So happy to be wrong, and so happy to see so many trash talking Michigan fans once again get sent home with an L.

Great game by Ohio State. It really should have been a bigger blowout, considering the officiating was completely slanted toward Michigan. Awful job by the refs today. Didn't matter, because Michigan's defense got absolutely dusted by the OSU offense.

They also lucked out on that blunder by OSU special teams on that kickoff. This was complete domination by Ohio State.

It's crazy, but they're probably going to get into the playoff, and we had this thing done as of a few weeks ago.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

The, puting ichigan in its place since Toledo

Didn't see this coming, check yo self

Great game by Ohio State.

I think that we should be in the playoffs if we beat Northwestern. People will point to Oklahoma's loss to Texas not being as bad as our loss to Purdue and that is true, but they didn't beat anyone near as good as TUN.

Of course, ESPN will rally against us because the Big 10 signed the deal w/Fox to broadcast so many of their games. That is going to be tough to overcome due to their national influence and ties to the committee.

Regardless, I'm proud of the team when even so many of our fans were dissing them. Hope some of you so-called fans lost a lot of money on the bets you were wolfing about. And in regards to the constant attacks on Urban's character, I will take the word of his former players over the word of biased punk reporters like Finnebaum and the posters who parrot his bird droppings.

Should be interesting finish to the season. Hang on....

The referees were Hard IN for giving the game to Mich, if you go back and look at the first quarter, Look at the drive killing penalties the refs gave to Ohio State, that weren't really penalties,

Between Ohio States first TD to go up 7-0 and their 2nd Td, several minutes later.

When watching, I just figured the fix was in and resolved myself to have to watch a stupid can't beat mich "and" the Refs day.

Ref's must have spent, FOUR OR FIVE BIG CALLS

to try to keep Mich in this game, but that team up north never had the lead,
0-0
6-7 and
19-21 was the closest they got.

The defense that played like Bambi this season, today played like Thumper.

Several really questionable PI calls. A missed OPI call on Michigan, an awful facemask call, and our QB getting targeting while sliding down. Pretty amazing stuff, and that's only what I remember off the top of my head.

That as an atrocious effort from the refs today, I really thought the Big Ten were supposed to have the best officials in the country? Didn't look like it to me. It was embarrassing.

I don't think it can happen, but man.........I wish we could play Notre Dame in the first round of the playoffs. We own them and I think we would give them another beat-down.

j/c:

What a great game Ohio State played today! Loved it, surprised at just how well they did.

Assuming a bunch of craziness doesn't happen, I would expect OSU to get in at #4 if they get in at all. I don't think Notre Dame has much of a resume, but they also haven't lost, so I couldn't even put them behind Ohio State in the rankings, even though I think OSU would beat them head to head on a neutral field. Clemson and Alabama are clearly better, so I think It's going to be Ohio State v Bama if it's going to be anything.

Provided things go as scripted, it should be:

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. Ohio State

But, upsets can happen. The last thing we want is for Georgia to beat Alabama.

The other big concern is that there will be a lot of people who will not want Urban Meyer and Ohio State in the playoffs due the earlier scandal.

Yeah, I can't really see anything crazy happening. Notre Dame really should take care of business tonight.

Here's a hot take. Saban sabotages his own team during the SEC championship, so that he can tear into his team for a straight month, and probably have them unbelievably focused, and 2, obvious tank job to get 2 SEC teams in the playoff.

LOL..........No coach would lose on purpose, but man, if Alabama loses in the SEC title game, you know the committee will still put them in.

Did I miss something big in college football? Did Alabama hire Hue Jackson as a consultant or something?

P.S. Welcome back Vers!

I knew OSU was going to win but man, what a beat down. OSU owns Michigan! Really not much of a rivalry anymore since OSU has been so dominant.

Because Michigan went 10-2 Harbaugh is not on the hot seat. Even Michigan fans realize that can't beat OSU anymore. Beating OSU is no longer a factor in determining if the season has been a success or not. They are basically admitting they are now the inferior program compared to Ohio state.

It seems like Harbaugh really wants to be back in the NFL and his heart just isn't in college football. He is not devastated or angry about the embarrassing loss to Ohio State. It's like, oh well, time to move on.

Dominant.

was going to fix it but you beat me to it. Still excited about the game.

that was pretty sweet.

Yeah, Ohio State really dominanted this game. It was good to see. I was getting tired of the smack talk from the Michigan fans.

(edit: ahh well. It was funnier when I was thinking of it in my head.)

Sorry - I try not to do spelling, but that one happens a lot and it bothers me for some reason.

USC up 7-0 on Notre Dame

I presume Notre Dame is in with a win, out with a loss.

you're gonna have to check the tape

good for osu too, obviously

His daughter should be tweeting something soon about this.

It could be. In order for OSU to get into the playoff they will have to destroy Northwestern and hope Georgia doesn't beat Bama. You know the committee would love to have two SEC teams in the playoff.
