Oh wow. Words can’t describe how awesome a Michigan win would be on Saturday.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
I love the omen of OSU being 1. It’s time Jim.
November 26th, 2019 at 9:17 PM ^
Fuck yes ... let's go !!!
November 26th, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
24-12
November 26th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
November 26th, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
You are dense. Maybe google the score of the 1969 game.
November 27th, 2019 at 6:47 AM ^
If weather is as bad a some say, maybe the first team to 12 wins...LOL
November 26th, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Much better team than number 13 in the country. Think we beat everyone from 12 through 5 (minus Tua) on a neutral field right now.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
So you think we beat Bama but not Georgia? I would say 12 through 4.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:46 PM ^
I'm still more inclined to believe we beat 12-6 then number 4. Bama is still really good despite the loss of Tua.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
On my ride home, Anthony Herron, with SiriusXM's PAC 12 radio talking head show, said Utah was much better than Alabama. I was laughing my ass off!!
November 26th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
They are
November 27th, 2019 at 1:01 AM ^
Why do you think that? Their defense has looked very vulnerable this year and while the OL and Najee are pretty imposing, we really don't know how good the backup QB is.
Bama is really good, but so is Michigan.
November 26th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
I think it would be a great game and perhaps might beat Georgia. I said up to 5 because Bama is without Tua. After watching Georgia struggle this week, yeah we prob could beat them too.
November 27th, 2019 at 1:28 AM ^
We absolutely could beat UGA. The question is whether we would more times than not. I think the answer is yes. Their offense isn't very good. Michigan is more balanced and our offense is playing a lot better than theirs and the defenses are pretty close.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:52 PM ^
If we win 72-0 on Saturday, I bet we get into the playoff.
November 26th, 2019 at 9:50 PM ^
Unfortunately, I would be unable to attend UM's CFC Semifinal game under that scenario, as I would be hospitalized due to my continuous, month-long massive erection.
November 27th, 2019 at 6:45 AM ^
I think Michigan beats 12 through 1.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
It’s happening............
November 26th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
I still feel broken inside from last year. I'm trying to get pumped for the game, and by the time Saturday rolls around I'll be there, but right now I'm not confident at all. Neg me to show me the error of my ways if you must.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^

This milkchugger is the hero we need
November 26th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
This ranking is absolutely meaningless. Its a one game season.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
This game is totally meaningless for you
You could lose by a million and as long as you beat fucking Minnesota by a point you'll go to the playoff
November 26th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
I'm not buying into that. The CFB playoff committee still has moving targets. I still don't understand what the exact criteria are for selection. I can see OSU losing Saturday and being ranked 5th/6th and falling short. Or OSU gets Wisky in a rematch in which a 2nd win would impress absolutely no one (unless its 59-0.....). Who knows.....
I still believe the only way OSU gets into the playoff is beating UM.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
You're wrong. Any 1 loss B1G Champion is in the playoffs this year. Even Minnesota.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
The only must win for OSU now is the B1G CG. There is no chance for a resume killing loss like Purdue was last year. The committee would be comparing a 1 loss B1G champ to (probably) a 1 loss SEC team w/o a championship. Doesn't matter who that team is, they aren't getting in over OSU. We would, of course, happily provide you guys with a wake up call loss!
November 26th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
I know we're not going to the playoff and all but I expected us to move up at least to 12 and possibly as far as 10. We handily beat a 7-2 team on the road. Oklahoma barely beat a .500 team at home and moved up 2 spots. Baylor beat a 4 loss Texas team at home and jumped up 5 spots.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
We beat an Indiana team that hasn't beaten anyone and lost against any quality opponent they faced this season. If you can't beat good teams, then you are not a good team, regardless of your record. Indiana is not a good team, they just beat up on the weakest teams in the Big Ten...
November 26th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
Pardon me.. what is ND ranked again? Or are they shit because M beat them handily?
and the same for Iowa I guess?
November 26th, 2019 at 11:45 PM ^
Notre Dame or Iowa had absolutely nothing to do with my comment, nor the comment I was responding to.
The comment was "we beat a 7-2 team, why didn't we move up more". Well, that's because that 7-2 Team is smoke in mirrors and hasn't beaten anyone of note. The fact is Indiana really isn't that good of a team.
Chill out and try to read the comments and what people are responding too before interjecting commentary that has NOTHING TO DO with the previous comments.
November 27th, 2019 at 3:08 AM ^
Check out Indiana’s SP+ and other rankings. They were top 20 multiple rankings. That was s legit road win.
November 27th, 2019 at 8:46 AM ^
Clemson.
November 27th, 2019 at 6:18 AM ^
Maybe you should take a peek at Baylor's body of work. Quite unimpressive and add that pathetic OOC schedule of SF Austin, UTSA and Rice. As the poster noted above, they beat a mediocre Texas team at home by 14 and moved up 5 spots. We beat a fringe top 25 team by 25 on the road and didn't move.
It's not that big a deal that we didn't move, but moving Baylor up 5 spots is bullshit. Way to reward a team with one of the worst, if not worst OOC schedules in the P5. That's real good for college football going forward.
November 27th, 2019 at 7:42 AM ^
Michigan convincingly beat a 7-3 team at their stadium and got zero credit for it. Maybe suggesting that they'd just from 13 to 10 is asking a lot, but they didn't move at all. Alabama hasn't played anyone all season either and lost to the one good team on their schedule and they're holding steady at the 5 spot. I get your point, but it's frustrating to see that logic unevenly applied to the rankings.
November 26th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
If we smack the CFP's #1 team in the face ... How sweet would it be to give those jokers the middle finger they deserve for the disrespect of our rating ?
Let's get it done. Go Blue !!!
November 27th, 2019 at 7:27 AM ^
Despite the attempt to create steady, measurable criteria for the CFP committee... it’s still HIGHLY subjective. It all comes down to how that group of people “feel” about a team.
Hence, the SEC bias with 3 teams in the top 5. Bama is Tuathless and Georgia just simply looks like garbagio (fancy version of garbage). Neither of those teams have played solid opposition with the exception of Georgia playing ND and FL. But, since the committee continues to suckle the teet of the SEC, they maintain that FL is a top 10 team. It’s one big circle jerk that keeps Michigan stagnant in the rankings.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Don't understand at all how LSU gets bumped down.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:40 PM ^
No defense. Their offense is legit, but I think they see OSU being better on both sides of the ball.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
Their defense is not at all good. Not by LSU standards anyway. Their offense can run with the best of them, but the defense isn’t great. OSU is the most complete team in America.
November 26th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
LSU has had close wins over #5 Bama & #15 Auburn plus a two TD win over #11 Florida.
Now OSU has two dominating wins over #10 PSU & #12 Wiscy.
OSU now has enough resume to back up the eye test.
November 26th, 2019 at 10:04 PM ^
I am not sure the PSU win was dominating.
November 26th, 2019 at 11:42 PM ^
Did you watch the game? Outside of the 3 fumbles, the game was one sided. Should have been 21-0 at half and 28-0 after first drive in 3rd quarter but had fumble at half yard line. Penn St had 3 drives all game more than 18 yards. They also had 3 drives of negative 7 yards or more. Penn st had 66 yards in the first half. Basically gifted 17 points to penn st either by not scoring or letting them get easy points and still won by 11 with the ball at 30 yard line to end the game.
November 27th, 2019 at 3:04 AM ^
I'd like to interject that OSU pantswaisting themselves into a close game that shouldn't have been close is a good sign for us. First chance to play an extremely significant game under Day and they made life hard on themselves.
Who knows? Maybe they'll continue to expand on this newfound capability this Saturday.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Hearing CFP spokesperson shows how feelings driven this process is. There are always arbitrary criteria changes based on their thinly veiled agendas.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Bo, Ufer, Canham, and all the late Michigan Football greats will be looking down from Football's Valhalla on Saturday keeping watch on Jim and his Michigan Men. It is time. I'm so excited to be going. Go Blue Go!
November 26th, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
If your not in the top 4 it's pointless but no way we should stay at 13 after beating a 7-3 team. Could definetly beat half the teams in front of us
November 26th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
They clearly don't want to put any teams in front of teams they lost to - especially if they have the same record. Seems to be the only consistent part of this list. But yeah - the AP and coaches had no problem putting us in front of Wisconsin and Penn State.
November 26th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
*you’re
November 26th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
It’s hard to move up the higher you get. Only two teams in front of us lost and one was on the road to the #1 team who has a head to head win over us. If we beat osu we will jump both, I don’t really have a problem with making head to head a tiebreaker among similar resumes. The games need to mean something
