I will never understand your anti-Michigan passion. It's only normal for Ohio State people.
For a neutral observer, a Michigan championship would have been the most entertaining outcome (assuming Cincy winning is too much to suspend disbelief).
I have Ohio State family, so I've always been partial to Ohio State in that rivalry. And then I've worked with a bunch of Michigan fans over the years that have been annoying sports fans, so it's fun to go against them. Then Villanova kicked their derriere in the CBB title game a couple years ago, so that was fun.
It's not that passionate, but it's entertaining to root against them.
