would you rather subject our o-line to the Cockz d-line?
these are meaningless games, all on new year's day and all in florida. the placement doesn't even matter, honestly, I'd rather have 9 wins if possible.

Not all bad
I'd like to see Michigan thrash Mississippi State, to help exorcise the 2011 bowl debacle.

Ditto. We have a defense now.
Ditto. We have a defense now. I think we could beat them pretty badly. A lot of guys on the team will remember that 52-14 thrashing, and I think it would be an extremely physical game.

O line differential-Wiscy v Meechigan
OK guys (and gals)..............take off your Maize and Blue blinders for a moment, and imagine you are a top flight offensive line recruit, looking to advance your fame and fortune at the collegiate level, with aspirations toward the pros. Do you go to Michigan............or Wisconsin? After watching the game a bit last night and Wisconsin just freaking bulldozing Nebraska, I have got to admit the obvious choice is Wisconsin (throwing tradition, legacy, and the whole Michigan experience to the side for a moment). I mean really!!!!!!!! Wisconsin doesn't have a passing attack, so they know you are just going to run it, and they run it at will. With Authority. Spectacularly so. Meanwhile, back in Ann Arbor, we can't get one yard rushing if our life depended on it. All year long..............ALL YEAR LONG...........Despite our declarations about how we want to be physical and run the ball. The intent is there, the coaching effort is there........................Is it talent? Coaching? System? Weight Program? Whatever it is, and I suspect coaching, they (Wiscy) have it figured out, and meanwhile, Michigan is lost in the proverbial wilderness, wandering aimlesssly without a clue. Hopefully, the new class with Kalis and Kugler in particular, can reverse the trend and give us a truly cohesive unit that can in some way replicate the Wisconsin gold standard, because they are indeed, the gold standard, and have been for quite some time.

You are placing too much
You are placing too much stock in one game where Wisconsin bulldozed Nebraska, Wisconsin also had some spectacularly crappy run games this season where they had run yardage totals in the 30-60 yard range.

While certainly not a
While certainly not a Wisconsin expert, I do understand they got rid of a new O line coach early on, and then they came into their own. Admittedly they also crapped the bed against MSU, but so did a lot of teams offensively. While a lot of stock is indeed being put on the Nebraska game, 552 yards is HUGE. Nebraska D, while not a juggernaut, is respectable, and they got their asses handed to them by a one dimensional offense. Impressive every day of the week. And again, by comparison, Michigan couldn't get the yard or two they needed all year, and all day long against OSU. They are what we want to be from a running standpoint.

The only problem with your analysis
is reality. I know that reality has to take second place to opinion in general, but when reality is five 4-star commits to Michigan and zero four-star commits to Wisconsin, the opinion that Wisconsin is the "obvious pick" of "top-fight offensive line recruit[s]" seems... a bit overblown, even for an unsubstantiated opinion.

I don't see how Michigan could ever lose to NE?
If we had any type of running game after Robinson went down, we would have won that game! I don't care who was playing QB!
