Best as in thrilling - then no (see ND games - you can pick the year). if you mean best played game against a quality opponent then absolutely - of course there was that game against Delware State /s

I mean, I guess it depends on how you define 'best'.  '08 Wisconsin was a win that seemed very unlikely against a quality opponent when we were obviously a very bad team.  So, in terms of odds stacked against us, I think '08 is a better win.   But I'll  definitely agree that this win was one that put us back on the map.  There is no doubt that this team and coaching staff have finally gelled. (sp?)  Borges knows how to best use Denard while still executing an offense that he's comfortable with.  Mattison has this defense playing like he's been coaching them for the last four years.  Confidence it back in the locker room, on the field, and in the stands.

I don't see how this is even debatable.  It would be as controversial and debatable to ask the question has Mattison improved our defense?

No one wants to talk about our last win over a BCS bowl team?  The 20-point clobbering of the Big East champion?

Yeah, me neither.

58-0. Jk ..... Today was the shit!

even debateable?

A win next week would obviously trump this victory considering we have not won against those jerks since 2003.

This win felt great, but I have to go wth win #7 from last year as the best thing since the Capital One Bowl.

 This was the highest quality win since ND in 2006. Our offense was unexpectedly awesome in the 2007 Florida game, but we still won the game by less than a touchdown. This game, we put together a complete game; offense, defense, and special teams all contributed. I wasn't following football in 2006 but it seems obvious to me that a 47-21 win against a top-5 team would be better than this win against Nebraska.

"2008 Capital One bowl" can't be in the running because that team and those coaches lost to Appalachian St., which will forever be the worst loss a major college program has had. 

Not to take away what any Michigan team has done (God knows I love these players more than I love my famils/girlfriend/etc) but this team is performing beyond or equal to the wildest expectations anyone had. This win was huge. IME, Nebraska was our most dangerous game this season, after OSU, and we fucking handled them.

If we win next week then this will be the best closing three weeks of the regular season for Michigan since 2003.

While it was on the last second play of Henne to Manningham so it wasn't a dominating win like yesterday, PSU finished 11-1, beating Florida State in the Orange Bowl in 3OT. 

Actually, the win against PSU in 2007 was pretty good to.  They finished 9-4 that season and we did it with Mallett at QB.

This was a great win, but there have been a couple of "best" wins between Carr and this game, just that they were false-positives about better things to come.  If UM beats OSU next week, then yes, this is a monster game and a sign the team is back.  If not, then it is still a big win but it won't necessarily be the momentum-changer most want it to be.  I mean, this is a Nebraska team that was worked over pretty badly by NW, Wiscy, and struggled to beat teams like Washington and OSU.  Next week, though, 10 wins = momentum shift.

then I would agree but if you are talking great games I would put this game with our recent victories against Notre Lame. I probably feel this way because we don't have the longstanding rivalry against Nebraska and it's obvious they were overrated IMO. Great victory nonetheless and the team dominated them for sure ... now beat Ohio!

Gonna agree with gorgeous Borges and say in terms of overall domination, best win since we destroyed ND in '06. I was at the game and was simply amazed at how the defense in particular was playing lights out. I usually get worried when Michigan plays a mobile quarterback but by the second quarter I was hoping Martinez would run just so I could watch Martin play with him like a chew toy. All around great game

I really hope that they go 2-1 against the rivals this year. It would be a great send-off for the seniors.  10-2 also has a nice ring to it.

that actually means something since....

Notre Dame 2006. That game set off the whole idea of a national championship run that year as it was a thorough drubbing of what would end up a Top-15 team or so. 

MSU 2007 was a great finish. Wisconsin 08'. Any of the Notre Dame games over the last three years. Illinois last year. Florida in the Capitol One bowl felt fantastic, but everyone seems to think that that was a Florida national championship team when it wasn't and given our expectations of that season it was hard to be too excited other than to see Lloyd to go out the right way. 

But for sheer domination over a good, ranked opponent...this was the best since Notre Dame in 2006

Gibbons from 40+ sealed it for me. 

last time we looked that good against a ranked team was the capital one bowl.

it was a great win....but...

all three ND victories were great wins.

beating wisco was a great win when we had that comeback.

but, yeah, this was up there...hard to slice it that thin

Or has Borges known all along that we can run from the shotgun, but that we need a lot of work under center.  He played a lot of under center thus far not to show his hand and hopefully get game experience for our guys, now is breaking out what we know is our strength for our big games at the end of the year.

Did I get it right?

Go Blue!

We just best a heavy opponent and did it with eaze... Yes we're back and yes biggest win since upsetting florida.

Best win since 2006 ND (the 47-21 beatdown over the then-#2 Irish).  A team-wide domination over a quality opponent.

That won't be the case until we beat Ohio State.

Easily the most satisfying win since the Carr Era.
