Who voted Oklahoma #1? They have no offensive line or legit running back. Our offense and defense is better than the Sooners. If Michigan can some how pull off the upset over Bama then a BCS title isn't out of reach. As of now Michigan would be favored to win every game on the schedule except for Bama. ND, MSU, oHIo, and Nebraska will be tough games. Winning 3 of these games is realistic. Because this coaching staff is probably the best in the nation I think Michigan will be playing in the Rose Bowl. I predict a 12-2 season.

Poor USC is just suffering under the weight of the crippling NCAA penalties. Just look what its done to their ranking and recruiting. I bet they'll think twice before buying the best players in the country next time... /s
