With No. 2 Ohio State facing No. 3 MI this week, it’s inevitable that a top four spot will open up this week. He could re-emerge with a big performance against No. 23 Washington State in a game that will decide the Pac-12 North.

So yes, of course I want MI to win.

It didn’t take long for me to recognize the depth of his obsession, and to realize that his love for Ohio State came with the mandatory hatred of its biggest rival, my beloved Michigan. With Wisconsin, it wouldn’t be as hard: The Buckeyes won in Madison.

On one side, Ohio State’s Urban Meyer, a Buckeye by birth who was mentored by Hayes’ successor in Columbus. At the Columbus Opening Regional and then again at Ohio State’s Friday Night Lights event, he demonstrated improved quickness and technique and in the same big, strong frame he’s always had.

Ohio State or MI represented the Big Ten every year in the Rose Bowl Game from 1969 through 1981. They are not close but clearly admire each other’s work.

Currently, he ranks No. 11 in on the all-time DI college football coaches’ wins list. Florida needs a win in Tallahassee to keep their playoff hopes alive.

In a deft art, he managed to tell of having “great conversations” with the late Bo Schembechler while refraining from mentioning where Schembechler coached, which was MI, for 21 seasons (1969-89) most famously opposite Hayes during the 1970s.
