It's "click averse," as in being opposed to clicking. "Click adverse" would mean you are actively campaigning against others clicking by, for instance, starting a new political party that encourages people not to click on links.

I am sure this reply has brightened your entire day. :-D

This week 6 of the top 12 face each other. A&M host Alabama, pulling for bama so they're both 1 loss teams. Florida goes to LSU, don't see how they win in Baton Rouge, and Michigan hosts Sparty. Whoever wins between Florida-LSU will likely jump TCU, possibly even Baylor, because they'll be an undefeated SEC team with a top 10 win, while the 2 Big12 schools keep scoring 50+ but allowing 50+. There will be a reshuffle, especially if Clemson scrapes out an ugly win against BC. If Michigan beats up Sparty we'll likely land at #7 next Sunday, but #6 is possible.

I really do not think the polls matter at all. Michigan will play the #4 and #1 teams in the country and play a high ranking team in the BIG championship. So, if we win out, regardless of our current poll position and what the other teams #2-11 do, we will be in the national championship playoff.

Polls no longer matter. 4 teams are going to the playoff and they will all be conference champions. So you have to win your conference and hope you do so convincingly enough to not be the one left out. Polls and talk before the conference championships are meaningless, as last year showed.

For what they are worth the AP poll seems to be more in time with actual resume than preseason hype. For MSU to be 4th in coaches poll makes it all the more irrelevant.

This team is ahead of schedule. That much is clear. But next week will tell us a LOT about wether or not Michigan is a truly great team, or a good team building towards being great.

If Michigan wins, and manages to win convincingly, you could see some legitimate playoff chatter. Yes, we'd need to get through OSU for that to happen, along with the rest of our schedule, but we're easily playing the best football of any team in the conference right now. And the team gets better each week.

OSU looks like a bunch of talented, but overly complacent players who are comfortable resting on their laurels and sleepwalking through games just because they can. Or the loss of Tom Herman just hurt them a lot more than anyone thought it would.

Amazing. I like the rankings. OSU still look overrated, but I think they have the talent to turn it around.

Let us beat MSU convincingly. They will dropped to teens or even to twenties. Once they lose to OSU, they will not be ranked. That will be the ultimate slap in the face.

Go Blue!
