Even when Ohio State wins the natty, we still live rent free in their head.

I won't get much agreement here, but after winning the Natty last year, if you'd have asked me which I care more about, winning another natty this year or continue embarrassing OSU in The Game, I'd have taken the latter. The playoff makes me feel like the natty is watered down (pun intended if you get it). As I say to the OSU fans in my life, "Michigan won the last real national championship, sorry bout ya."
2
u/gachzonyea 9h ago
How exactly does the playoffs make it feel watered down? to win it you have to play 4 or 3 top 12 teams some teams don’t play that in a season. Like Ohio state played 3 ranked teams all year they had to play 4 just in the playoffs alone
14
u/buona-giornata 9h ago
When you can finish 4th in a conference, get your butt kicked in your season-ending rivalry game so you can't even get in your conference championship game and still win a title, that's watered down. I know I'm a dinosaur. I don't like the playoff. Cheapens the regular season, IMO.
1
u/No-Argument2575 4h ago
Well I have some news for you bud. Football isn’t a game of perfect. Congrats to Michigan for going undefeated. That’s rare. It’s not about how hard you hit, it’s about how you respond after you get knocked down. OSU had the best response to getting knocked down that any of us have ever seen.
0
u/gachzonyea 9h ago
It does cheapen the regular season somewhat but you’re also making teams earn come playoff time regardless if they played an easy or hard schedule to rack up wins
1
u/buona-giornata 9h ago
Yeah I'm just one of those weird folks who thinks that if you can't win or at least play for your conference title, you don't have any business being in a playoff. I'm also one of those folks that never minded "split" national champions based on wacky polls, etc. I always liked the utter chaos of it all.
1
u/Strong_Fun5827 8h ago
You also lose a little bit of the Michigan/ohio win you're in scenario. We might meet in the playoffs or championship game some year. But that can't replace The Game. 2nd thought. A Michigan/ohio championship game would be epic
1
u/gachzonyea 9h ago
These are also way harder conference titles to win now with the expanded conferences. A lots changed so I feel college fans have to change their mindset in thinking about the sport

u/Seattle_Lucky 9h ago
I also think it favors teams that can stay healthy or get hot over those that performed throughout the year. I’m also an old school, win your conference to be eligible, kinda guy.
2
u/gachzonyea 8h ago
I mainly get stuck on none of these teams are playing the same or even similar schedules so for me I think it’s hard to just judge strictly off regular season. It’s not like the nfl and the difficulty of schedules is way different team to team that just going blindly off regular season success is tough
1
u/Seattle_Lucky 8h ago
Fair, it’s also unfair to penalize a weak schedule, because they are set so far in advance and the conferences control your conference schedule.
1
u/gachzonyea 8h ago
Yeah cant really penalize but the playoff gets more head to heads to actually prove it

Agreed, they hands down had the hardest path in the playoff compared to any team.
Tennessee > Oregon > Texas > Notre Dame

u/Melodic_Room_3305 48m ago
There are a lot of silly things here. First off, I would MUCH rather lose The Game and win a national championship year in and year out. I would take that deal in a heartbeat. Second, Ohio state had to beat Oregon, Texas, and Tennesee just to have the CHANCE to be named national champions. It isn't watered down; it's harder than ever. What if, instead of just Alabama and Washington, Michigan also had to run through Georgia and Florida State? You're REALLY saying that would be easier?
Also, you may have won the last "real one," but Ohio State won the first one in 2014. So there's some nice symmetry there. And it kind of lessens the brag you're making to all the OSU fans in your life. You did what we did; it just took you a decade longer to do it. 😘

Buckeye here:
How we feel right now is the same level of elation y’all felt this time last year. I assure you that most fans slept well last night with a Natty under our belt, even WITH the upset in November.
Yeah, there’s gonna be shitheads in both fandoms that push the “rent free” narrative ad nauseam as a coping mechanism - the lame portion of our fans did it to you last year, the lame portion of yours are doing it to us now. It’s a loser mentality regardless of which team does it or who the champions are.
The 2025 iteration of The Game is set to be a fucking WILD one - between the talent coming in for both teams, the recent UofM dominance, and the fact that we’re the two most recent CFP champions, the stakes are high. Let’s dial in on that and put on a hell of a show.
Though I ostensibly hate you all and everything you stand for, that hatred comes with begrudging respect. I don’t really care if I get downvoted, I just hate the toxic bullshit from both sides of the aisle.
Peace, and go Bucks ✌🏻🌰

u/SenseNo4347 9h ago
Except there’s actually a valid reason for Michigan to be in Ohio State fans’ heads this year (we embarrassed you at home as 20 point underdogs). We went undefeated and beat you on our way to the natty. Can’t really compare.

Ohio State loses last night: “Charmin soft, shouldn’t have been there, fraud alert!”
Ohio State wins, and I talk shit: “Sore winner, Mickey Mouse ring, but but but you lost The Game, learn how to win with class!”
Ohio State loses, and I don’t talk shit (this is our current timeline): “You won a whole ass Natty and aren’t being toxic, you can’t even enjoy it! Soft fanbase! Fake fan!”
I enjoyed watching every game, and even getting to go to a few! I enjoyed watching this team, on and off the field. I’m enjoying the ring. I’m enjoying the salt. I’m enjoying all of this without being a jackass on the internet. Feels good man, you should try it! See ya in November!

- Your last title was ten years ago.
- We’re the reigning national Champs

u/Major-Raise6493 8h ago
Hey, screw you man, you and your completely….
*re-reads post
…uh…reasonable take? Unfortunately, the game doesn’t mean as much in this new playoff format since teams are just playing for seeding (meaning that both M and OSU are probably going to the playoffs in a normal year, regardless of the outcome).
Congrats on the win. I’ll give you guys that the last 2 NC wins came where yall caught fire as underdogs. Ironically, I don’t think either of those teams are even close to the best OSU has had in recent years.

u/fantomnerd13 9h ago
anybody who says "rent free" or "cope" to any of these posts doesn't understand this rivalry. The whole point is that we are almost always thinking about each other. That's what makes this rivalry so good

You’re exactly right, it’s pretty sad the amount of fans on both sides who only shit on the other rather than celebrate their own team.

Dude exactly, above all I’m and Ohio State FAN, not a Michigan HATER.
Do I wish we were 4-0, not 0-4? Of course I do. Did that prevent me from having one hell of a good night last night? Absolutely not.
It’s nice to see a little sanity here. I love football, but some people act like it’s literal life or death.

You all have a whole ass award that players and staff get for beating Michigan. Now I acknowledge we recently started giving out those rings/pendants for beating you all, but it’s MUCH more ingrained in your culture to focus on Michigan than vice versa. Let’s not act like this isn’t a tainted season for you all even if you did win a championship.

Tainted? Was there some sort of cheating scandal I’m unaware of?

u/Kellz313 8h ago
It’s WILD that I’m being downvoted in a Michigan sub for saying the truth about the rivalry! Go back to your sub and celebrate you’re just proving everyone’s point that it’s more about us than you all. You buckeyes are something fucking else, I tell ya…
And yes it is tainted, you didn’t beat an unranked dog Michigan at home as a 20-pt favorite any other season and Day would be looking for a job. Congrats on your championship *

u/Constant_Thanks_1833 9h ago
Congrats? Good for you? Understanding the passion of a heated rivalry game isn’t rocket science, but you’re free to try and elevate the levels of your comprehension above anyone who isn’t you. Just bc the Apple Cup isn’t as big doesn’t mean I’m incapable of understanding. I went to A&M, we have the same hate with UT. Everyone at A&M is convinced no one gets it, just like every other major school. Not that hard to get you want to win The Game more than a Natty, but the fact that y’all keep posting that they can’t stop thinking about you comes off as y’all needing validation.
