B1G Network Helmet Bracket
I think these are dumb, but I cannot stand to see us lose, even in a poll about who has the best helmet in the B1G. Michigan is the #1 seed going against Nebraska in the second round.

We should be ok
They will vote against the winged helmet.
Not really a huge deal anyways...its a B1G bracket, and will be ignored by most. Everyone knows who has the coolest helmets on the planet no matter how they vote.
Rutgers?
That woman looks like she's trying to poop through her urethra as a means of self-defense.
is that the chick who played the original Sarah Conner in the Terminator movies? dont mess with her
We did pretty well in the initial seeding per the Facebook Poll. The admittedly unscientific Legends Division results were:
Michigan - 723 votes
Iowa - 349 votes
Nebraska - 251 votes
Michigan State - 240 votes
Northwestern - 57 votes
Minnesota - 24 votes
So, Michigan took 45% of the Legends Division vote initially. Michigan helmet fans were definitely showing up.
So I went and voted. I voted for Indiana over ohio and lololololololol Indiana was winning by a bit at the time that I submitted my votes.
Voted for:
Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, and PSU in round 2.
Indiana still winning as of time of this writing. Go Hoosiers!
It's supposed to be "great" because it's Notre Dame, but there are several just like it in CFB, such as Navy.
So Michigan's are bad because Delaware has them as well? ok...
Except that Delaware's looks like a cheap knockoff version of ours in addition to not having the prestige.
but I did my part and voted. I also voted for Indiana over Ohio, even if I didn't truly believe it.
I already know who has the best helmet. I don't need a poll to validate it.
I vote Penn State. Their helmets are exquisitely detailed. Incidentally, they're the same as my high school's used to be; if you had to get a new one midseason, you just got plain white and applied your own strip of blue electrical tape..
Hey, come on now. Most first graders know that "knowledge" starts with a K.
UM over PSU in the finals. I do like the PSU jerseys, but I think I just like blue and white. I always thought the Leafs jerseys were sweet too.
Fluff article; fluff poll ... fills space until the season starts.
Now, that said ... setting aside home-team favoritism ... a case can easily be made that Michigan's helmet is the most iconic in all of college football.
The only other helmets that might be in the same ballpark would be USC, Texas, and for those who get into "simplicity" the helmets of Penn State and/or Alabama. I flat reject Notre Dame's fancy-pants glitter helmet bullshit. Maybe if they were still flat-gold and all battered up. Maybe.
Second-tier helmets then stack up: Florida, Florida State, Oklahoma, Oregon (recent addition) ... meh, then it becomes a blur.
But one helmet is instantly recognizable by any fan anywhere in the country: Michigan's.
As I said, the most iconic in all college football. Bar none.
I think Bobby Bowden once said that the winged helmet was the best in college football.
I think it was 4 or 5 years ago that ESPN did one of those polls and the final was like Florida State v Alabama or something and Bowden (and other talking heads) said they all thought it was weird that Michigan could be left out or something to that effect
Edit: Man, I have impeccable memory
Several guys at the beginning (including Mike Gundy) say Michigan is best and then at 3:30 Bowden talks about Michigan saying "I was surprised they didn't win it". Boom
Michigan is dominating Nebraska right now...Sparty is losing to Iowa and Ohio is losing to Indiana! lol.
