00:00I think the one thing that we learned, Bill, uh, without a doubt that, uh, as, as you're

00:08going to talk about here is that Michigan has found their way to beat Ohio state where

00:12they couldn't beat them for a long time.

00:13That series has completely shifted.

00:16And I think we have to be honest with ourselves a little bit here.

00:18I mean, Ohio state's still going to make the college football playoff, but I don't know

00:23that they're that good.

00:24Like, I think their quarterback should have been the guy from Syracuse that's playing

00:28right now.

00:29I'm telling you, I just, I'm not all that impressed.

00:33I think they could be one and done from what I've seen.

00:35I don't know.

00:36Well, a couple of things there, and that's probably the most painful realization after

00:40watching what Kyle McCord did to Miami after the game.

00:43But I try to explain this to people all the time.

00:46Ohio state would rather beat Michigan than win the national championship.

00:50If you ask eight of 10 fans, now the players in the locker room, the coaches, it's probably

00:54a different story, but it's that real.

00:58And the fact that Michigan was able to beat them was stunning, and the most stunning statistic

01:02I can give you is Ohio state had 17 carries for 41 yards between the tackles at Michigan's

01:09two best players.

01:11They refused to go tempo.

01:12They refused to put the ball in the air when they had some advantages on the outside and

01:16they played right into Michigan's hands.

01:18And it was one of the most stunning developments.

01:20And now you're thinking, what if they play Tennessee or Alabama in the first round?

01:25Tennessee does those things that Michigan does, and they do them better.

01:29So they're going to have a tough first round matchup no matter what.
