This Stanford Arizona game is the epitome of the 2 styles of football Michigan employed over the past 7 years. 

 

Lets see how they fare against each other.

Again last week the yells were "UCLA, GA, LSU have been the best teams this year".  Crazy year.  Parity like hell.  Now someone plz fucking upset MSU and OSU so we dont have to root for all these teams to stop fucking up.

Pretty sure if we run the table and go 12-1 we will make the playoffs regardless of msu and OSU losing other games. Spoiler alert though: that isn't happening this year. Still a little too inconsistent on offense and the defense can be vulnerable in the air when the line can give the QB time to throw. Nine or ten wins is in play though.

Indiana looks more dangerous now.  road game.

But Minn a lot less so.  Might be changing QBs soon.

PSU still tricky and road game at night.

But rutgers is a nice bye and neither OSU or MSU looking like world beaters. 

Agree on speed on edges of defense but only a few teams we play left (OSU) can exploit it.  Wont be Minn, NW, rutgers types.

As always it will come down to QB play.  Defense gives him some room to be mediocre but not like today vs the quality teams. 

NW is a major swing game.  Need that one.

Top 5 will be OSU, MSU, tCU, Baylor, LSU.

Back end of top 10 got obliterated this week.  So maybe Utah, NW, Bama, A&M, Clemson, Oklahoma, FSU in some order and whomever didnt make it goes to #11, #12.

Then the 1 loss teams not named Bama compete with the Iowas for 13-23.  USC Stanford UM Iowa FL ND GA Ole Miss UCLA Ok State.

We might not actually move up much because so many top 10 teams lost and will take "our spot" in late teens.   So a lot of the teams in 10-15 go into 6-10 and a lot of this weeks 6-10 drop to 12-20.

Beat #10/11ish NW and #2 MSU back to back and we'll be 6ish though.
