5 Reasons Ohio State and Michigan Should Run it Back for the Title

This past weekend we finally got to see the highly anticipated matchup between #1 Ohio State and #2 Michigan. This game was arguably the most hyped regular season college football game of all time. With so much anticipation, one would assume that there was no way this game was going to live up to the hype. Well folks, it did. This game was just as good if not better than advertised, and unless you are extremely oblivious, you saw the top two teams in the country. Ohio State by winning the game is the unanimous choice as the best team in the nation and rightfully so. Now, the debate is about who is the second best team in the nation. That one’s easy, it is Michigan. Here are the top 5 reasons why Ohio State and Michigan should run it back for the national title….

1. These two ARE the best two teams in the nation – the national championship game is supposed to be played by the top two teams in America. Ohio State is a definite number one, while there is debate over who is number two. All year long Ohio State was number one and Michigan went into their house and gave the Buckeyes everything they could handle, losing by 3 points. Michigan also handed one loss teams such as Notre Dame and Wisconsin their only losses giving Michigan some high profile wins. Michigan was just as good in nearly every facet of the game as Ohio State and was the only team all year to be able to hang within three points of the Buckeyes. Michigan is the second best team, period.

2. These two teams are rivals which always make for a better game - Not only is this rivalry the biggest in college football, but after a game like this, it can only get better. After the game Troy Smith said “the best team one,” and gossip like that only adds fuel to the fire. A rematch would guarantee an increase in Michigan’s intensity, and not only that, the rematch would take place at a neutral site.
