I'm gonna go with Michigan. (May the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Northwestern Wildcats forgive me).

These kids are going to be playing with a little more passion, seeing that President Ford played from Michigan.

LOL, thanks bud!

I actually think it will be an uphill battle for the Trojans. I am looking forward to attending the game.

It's ging to be a good game all around - lots of heart on both sides - I was torn, but, even a consigliere needs some backup from the field.

Cannot wait to watch this game. I think it will be close, and although I believe USC has proven they can play defense, I just feel the running game of Michigan will be too much.

USC is not afraid to run the football out of any formation themselves. But Michigan has been known to stop a few running games this year.

Michigan 31 USC 24

Well, I had to vote Pac 10, 'cause my dad would revoke my birth certificate if I chose anything else.

Michigan.
Better running game and as much as it irks me to admit their quarterback is well seasoned and poised. Not knocking your QB RL but this is his first bowl, and it's Henne's third. Also Michigan has more to prove to the BCS yo yos that they, not crybaby Florida, should be in the championship game.

Michigan-W

I'm apathetic towards both teams really, but hate hearing about SoCal (USC = South Carolina est in 1802...before Cal was even looked at by gringos).

I don't think SoCal has the umpf this year to beat a tough opponent; and I don't think the PAC 10 was that strong this year giving USC a better looking record than what it actually is. Hawaii!!!!!!, need I say more?

Mich 35 - USC 14

Counselor - we are losing the popular vote, what does the electoral college say?

I prefer to be the underdog. We win, it's huge; we lose, it was expected.

RL just called.

He is at the game, is fired up, and is talking BIG trash!

Looks like 32-18, Trojans. Sorry, Michigan fans!

Again, good win.

Well RL your boys sold me. Great win for USC and Carroll did one heck of a coaching job.
