I hope you're talking about the regular season game metaphorically because there is no possibility of the two of them playing in the national championship both unbeaten.
Nice thought though.
NOT TO mention that there is not a possibility of a OSU UM rematch for the national title
I will disagree and say that it is entirely possible. The SEC is gonna cannibilize itself and no team comes out of there with less than two losses. WVU and Loiusville play each other guaranteeing that one will lose. And let's just say that the winner stubs their toe somewhere else along the way. Missiouri isn't goning undefeated, nor is Rutgers. So that leaves USC, OSU, and MI as your only undefeateds late in November. And the only credible one loss team is Texas.
Let's say that OSU beats Michigan in a close, tight game that could go either way. And ND beats USC that weekend as well. So now OSU is left undefeated and in the champioship game. And your one loss teams are Texas (which OSU beat on the road already, so why a rematch now?), Michigan (which lost to OSU in a great game on the road), ND (who Michigan smoked so how can you pick them ahead of MI), and USC (who just lost to the team that lost to the team that is undefeated).
Given those choices, I think the voters could put MI #2. And the computers certainly wouldn't ding MI for losing to # 1. Anything is possible with the goofy BCS, so in no way would I discount the possibility of OSU and Michigan playing for the national title.
