CBS Sports College Football Rankings
At 2-4, Michigan slips to #72, sandwiched between those two football powerhouses, Wyoming and Memphis, both of whom are 3-2. Above are such prodigious programs as Toledo and Akron.
Fortunately we're above Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee, not by much, but hey, take what you can get.
The Python Oscar Wilde sketch has a line that sums up my experience watching this team play this year: "Before you arrive is pleasure, but after is a pain in the dong."

I remember the good ole days of complaining about going to the florida bowl games...now I just keep refreshing this blog until my dong is black and blue enough. Then I eat some cheez-its and go to bed.

I can only imagine how a current Michigan crowd would behave while seated in Ford Field to watch Michigan in the Little Caesar's Bowl. Man, that would be epic. If anyone bought tickets.
Unfortunately this team will not be tallying six wins this year, so I am confined to imagining.

We're now #80 in the Sagarin Ratings with an overall rating of 66.66, below everyone else in the schedule for us, I believe. We're also #72 in Massey's FBS rankings, which is not terribly encouraging either. TeamRankings didn't even bother with a ranking, just "#" - I suppose that sums it up right now for some people.

Still #1 in my heart. Just fix this program please. All I hear now is a Yoda-like voice in the background saying, "A punch line you have become."
October 7th, 2014 at 9:08 AM ^
I think it's "A dong punch you have become."

Try voting Michigan's ranking as too low and see how the rest of the country views your choice.
October 6th, 2014 at 10:17 PM ^
I honestly think we are too high. I don't think we beat many teams in the country right now.

Cool cool! Wyoming did very well vs MSU a few weeks ago...in the first 45 seconds.
I mean seriously has there been a collection of 4 star talent so thoroughly disappointing in the past 20 years? Only Charlie Weiss' 3-9 squad can hold a candle.

I don't see this team scoring 14 against Sparty in a few weeks. I see that being the game that breaks the spirit of the team and fanbase. 52-3 or so. I doubt Dantonio would even be able to stop his own players from scoring.
We might go through three QBs in that game. Epic beating.
For this Saturday night, I am more interested in the crowd, or lack of one, or their allegiance than anything else. A decidedly PSU crowd dressed in white taking over the Big House or a dramatically empty student section showing on a blimp shot prior to kickoff, or a crowd of obviously less than 100k well into the second quarter may well be the final straw for the administration to end Brandon's reign of greed and hypocrisy over this fanbase.
Another poor showing by this team has to seal Hoke's fate. If not, the game in EL certainly will.
The dominos will begin to fall within a week or so after the MSU game. It is just a matter of time.

just to make sure i wasn't missing some sarcasm. I wasn't. This comment is unbelievably inappropriate and ignorant. Mods need to do something about comments like this one that clearly crosses all lines about fair comment about student athletes.

More likely, you've probably never met any one of those guys and are just being extremely ignorant and douchey.
