You are correct; it is a bit too high: but it is great for the program. And who's to say that MIchigan won't earn a top ten slot by the end of the season? We'll know a lot more in the next few weeks, as will the pollsters.
I'm just going to enjoy it for all it's worth right now.

If the AP and coaches all went on an acid trip tonight, saw the glory of MICH in the universe and revised their polls so that we were ranked #1, it would be nothing but a plus for our program.
Our ranking is important, as there are recruits in this class, as well as in subsequent classes, waiting to see how well Michigan performs this year. Even if we are not a top ten team as far as our ability is concerned, it doesn't matter as long as recruits see, "Michigan is ranked #11? They must be on their way back."

I actually think that's about right and the way it should be (a little more backward looking based on W-Ls than on forward/Vegas projections). It'll take care of itself as long as W-L is the top factor.
FWIW, Sagarin has us at #12 using his RATING metric (#9 using his points-based PREDICTOR). http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt11.htm (still not WELL-CONNECTED).

Why can't we get past MSU? They haven't played anyone save for ND. OSU is simply not good right now. I think it will be a good game, but I think we can pull it out. They haven't proven anything yet. Of course, neither have we.

Not that we can't beat them;
Not that we can't beat them; we certainly have a chance. But you don't get to the #1 D in the land, even when the highest ranked O you played that you didn't lose to is ranked only like 96. That D is good. They pressured OSU like none other and played inspired and got off blocks. I'm just not confident enough in Denard's passing to be able to go over the top on them when they bring pressure. Our O-line is going to have to play smart and physical.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM |
Don't forget that OSU still
Don't forget that OSU still
Don't forget that OSU still has several players suspended. This offense hasn't been solid all year. I am worried about the MSU game, but beating OSU isn't that big of a deal. Notre Dame is better than OSU...I almost think Western Michigan could beat OSU and if you laugh at that...isn't Western better than Toledo?
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:41 PM |
I think Western and Toledo
I think Western and Toledo
I think Western and Toledo are probably gonna play for the MAC title (or the division title; I'm not sure of MAC alignments). Also Temple could win too. But Western could and probably would give them a run.

While tOSU managed only 178 yds of total offense against MSU, they also only managed 209 yds versus Miami-FL.
RIght now, tOSU is a bad team. We'll see how they fare now that the suspended players are back, but they need help in the trenches more than at the non-QB skill positions, and they're only getting back a so-so starter in OL Mike Adams & last yr DT reserve Solomon Thomas.

Everyone is saying too high,

Everyone is saying too high, but I honestly haven't seen many other teams outside the top ten that I don't think we can hang with. Another thing we are forgetting is that this team may be for real. We have a good shot at winning the Legends, and if we do that, we should be a fringe top ten team. It is early, but not many other teams have the resume we do.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:43 PM |

I think many of us here are worried about the let down we have suffered the last couple of years after strong starts. It hurts less if you stay gaurded. We just have HOke things will work out better this time.

Really

after watching the games the only team that looks better than us in the Big Ten is Wisconsin who we do not play.
We beat ND which pounded MSU which pounded OSU. Neb looks overrrated and beatable.
Purdue Iowa NW all look poor. We could be 12-0 meeting Wisc in the big ten championship.

OK, I think you're getting way ahead of yourself. After the MSU game we will have a much better understanding of how good we are, but until then it's waaaayyyy to early to think about a 12-0. We could also end up 5-7 too. We have no idea how the breaks of a football season are going to treat us.

We can't end up 5-7. Purdue already has conceded the Oct. 29 game to us. As a boilermaker fan, I am just hoping that we can beat Minnesota. Got no chance in hell to beat Michigan.

I honestly thought we'd be sitting around #15. While I'm definitely excited about our team this season, I think #11 is a little high considering we haven't even played on the road yet. If we dominate NW next weekend, then I'll probably think differently. But I'd definitely like to see if our effort on the road can match what it has been at home first.
I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?

having Denard, beating ND in a memorable prime-time game, and beating the living crap out of a conference opponent in a shutout. Rankings at this point in the season are pretty meaningless. We'll get a much better picture of where we're at in the next two weeks.

I really look forward to this game saturday because it is going to be a huge test for this team. A big win will make me feel better that this isn't a 5-0 and then lose the rest of the season team.
