Down goes No. 4 Michigan! Ohio State knocks off the Wolverines, shakes up CFP Rankings
If there’s one thing Urban Meyer knows how to do, it’s get his teams ready for rivalry games.
Matter of fact, Urban Meyer owns Michigan, as he’s undefeated against the Wolverines since taking the Ohio State head coaching job.
That certainly continued Saturday, as the Buckeyes beat the Wolverines in Ohio State 62-39.
Obviously, this win does a number of things. It re-energizes Urban Meyer, who has looked weak the last few weeks. It also shakes up the College Football Playoff Rankings. The Wolverines were ranked No. 4, and the Buckeyes were ranked No. 10, one spot behind UCF. It’ll be interesting to see the implications Tuesday when the next round of rankings are unveiled. Remember, Georgia is No. 5 and Oklahoma is No. 6.
Ohio State advances to the Big Ten Championship Game to face Northwestern.
No doubt, though, that this is the Ohio State team that everyone predicted before the season. From last week’s Maryland game — one of the worst performances of the season — to this week’s Michigan game — the best performance of the season, the selection committee will certainly take note.
Michigan and Jim Harbaugh, on the other hand, won’t hear the end of this one.
This has been stunningly embarrassing for Jim Harbaugh.

Remember Colin Cowherd said Harbaugh is a better coach than Saban.
An accurate statement if he’s talking NFL.
Harbaugh was more successful than Saban in the pros. Saban is still a better coach than Harbaugh. Saban inherited an awful 4-12 team. Miami had a terrible GM and has had a crappy front office since the Shula years. Saban spent 2 years in the pros. Hard to judge on that. Belichick had 4 out of 5 losing seasons in Cleveland. He wasn’t a terrible coach, he was in a bad situation like Saban in Miami. I’m a Dolphins fan and no fan of Saban, but it’s hard to argue with his success.
Hm-almost as though I said “if he’s talking NFL”, which in our common tongue (English), indicates that I’m solely claiming the stmt is accurate given NFL performance. Also, I never said Saban was a bad NFL coach by my stmt. His two year record was 15-17 (.469), which is average at best in comparison to the records of all active NFL coaches. He’s the best college coach of all time. His coaching record indicates he’s an average NFL coach. Any speculation as to what he’d do with a more talented team is just that, speculation.
I think that’s a trendy take, being as I’ve seen a few analysts make that claim. I’m guessing they just say that to get their 5 min. of fame.
Dan Mullen, Barry Odom, and about 4 other SEC coaches are better than Jim Harbaugh.
Did you just say Barry Odom was a better coach than Jim Harbaugh? LMAO.
I actually like Harbaugh. I think he’s clearly a good leader of young men. But as a football coach, there’s room for Odom to pass him. Now having said that, I think Odom, in only his 3rd year as a HC, needs to keep proving he can win more with less, and get more. As for Mullen, he is obviously ahead of Harbaugh.
This couldn’t make me happier. Harbaugh is so smug and condescending. I’m glad OSU curb-stomped and humiliated him and his team.
Really hard for me to pull for either of these teams as neither coach is very likable. Michigan would have made the playoff if they would have won out, but I’m not sure OSU will. This was the better result. Gotta pull for Northwestern next week.
