New bowl projections: Michigan vs Arizona
weekly thread.
ESPN: Michigan vs Arizona in the game that would make the universe explode. I don't think the space-time continuum could handle that game. That would easily be the biggest Holiday Bowl in the last 25 years.
Another ESPN projection has Michigan vs Texas A&M in the Citrus Bowl. 20 year anniversary of the last time they met in a bowl game.
SB Nation: Michigan vs Georgia in the Citrus Bowl
CBS: Michigan vs Missouri in the Outback Bowl. Missouri just beat UCONN in a 9-6 barnburner.

I would love nothing more than for UM to play Arizona. It would probably be a little ugly, but I'd consider buying tickets just to see how many people would freak out in the stands every time Arizona did anything right. And lord help their hearts if the Airzona defense was competent.

I love Harbaugh but they would rock our shit if we played them right now.
September 21st, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
Based on what? Returning 13 starters from a 4-loss team? Do you think Arizona is significantly better than Utah?

I seem to remember RR's Michigan teams dominating the September stats as well... doesn't mean much yet.

Then proceeded to get absolutely destroyed by Oregon and beaten pretty handily by Boise State.

I do think AZ is better than Utah, yes.

Than not...............but jeesh, isn't this a bit of premature prejaculation?

When I predict bowl matchups, there's nothing premature about them: I did it because I WANTED to predict bowl matchups.

I honestly don't know who Section 1 would cheer for. Regardless, he'd be there burning Lloyd Carr in effigy outside in the parking lot before.

I still miss alternately hating and loving his posts.

If we face RR, so be it. He's moved on and so have we. I was "all in" for RR when he was hired, but I'd never swap Harbaugh for him.
Missouri would be OK. I'd like to teach them a lesson for stealing the Block M.
Georgia would probably be a bad matchup for us this year, but I'd like to play them eventually.

Negged for being right and not wearing your M glasses.

Though I assume AZ wants to at least repeat as division winners, which would give them no worse than the Alamo Bowl.

dont want.
also, who the hell is doing bowl projections after 3 games. so dumb.
September 21st, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
But clearly some folks read them.
Polls shouldn't come out until after week 4 when non-conference is typically over.
Bowl Projections should start once we're beyond the midseason point.
Just my opinion, which of course should be the only opinion.
September 21st, 2015 at 5:30 PM ^
We already get regularly updated "way too early" ranking projections throughout the offseason. If polls were delayed by a few weeks, all that would change would be ESPN talking about how the margin of victory in some SEC domination of a FCS team is "Southern U putting the college football world on notice that they have a major claim to the top 5 when the first polls come out." An obsession with what comes next without offering real analysis is the root issue.

But, it's stimulated 3 pages of comments on this board. Imagine the kind of click-traffic is generated on the ESPN board. I'd say they achieved their goal.

sounds awesome to me! I could stay at my friends house, then cruise down I-15 to Qualcomm with the sunroof open. It would be 1984 deja vu, including Jim Harbaugh standing on the sidelines.

Only thing better would be an App State tie breaker bowl.

Man that game would worry me. You know Rodriguez wouldn't sleep the entire month of December as he tried writing up the game plan of his career to beat us. But I'm betting Harbaugh can out duel him and give him one more headache thanks to us.
Watching us play A&M would be fun as I think we could score some points in that game. Whether we could keep up, I have my doubts.
Georgia would be pretty great too, but I'm not entirely convinced they're not at least heading to an NY6 Bowl. Their defense looks pretty darn good, and Nick Chubb....man, that kid represents what I hope Michigan can one day get its running game up to. He's a beast in every sense of the word.

He'd say that game wouldn't personal, but I have a feeling that it'd be extremely personal for him. He'd pull out all the stops and empty his entire playbook to bear Michigan,
