No, OSU teams do not play flat. You have to give the devil (Tressel) his due. His teams almost never play that way.
Notre Dame fans should be huge Michigan fans right now. If we get selected to Glendale, an opening appears in the Rose Bowl. If Florida gets in, we will almost certainty go to the Rose Bowl to face USC (who gets the auto Pac 10 bid).
I am confident Charlie Weis will place Michigan ahead of Florida. First of all, he doesn't have a very good relationship with Urban Meyer (Crier, that's nice), nor do Nd fans. Second, it is in his interests to free up a slot in the Rose Bowl, where Nd might get in (though it's probably undeserved). Now, LSU (the lone SEC team that will be rooting for Michigan tomorrow), may also have a chance at the Rose, but they can't get in without Michigan going to Glendale. Whether or not Nd gets the Rose over LSU if Michigan gets the title game is debatable, but both Nd and LSU need Michigan to vault ahead of Florida before anything can happen. Wow, the BCS does suck.
