Michigan wanted chaos, and we got chaos

Stop it with this. There's a reason they play the games

I did and got sent to Bolivia lol

We've already seen that. No need to see it again. 

More than likely SOMEONE is gonna get embarassed by Bama. But if you're in the playoffs...you're still in the playoffs. And that is why they play the games, anything can happen. Come on...that's total puss thinking.

This is probably the only time I'll ever say this:  I would love to get embarrassed on a national stage by Alabama.  Just getting there would mean we've accomplished some pretty damn big things in Harbaugh's first year.

After the RR and Hoke years everyone has become such big pussies. Oh no we might get beat if we play better competition. Even if we got beat by Bama by 50, getting to the playoff in year 1 would be fucking awesome and it's not like Alabama played well against ole miss or tennessee so you never know.

Let's lose a game or two so we can be sure that doesn't happen...

If OSU beats Sparty and Michigan wins the next three, I am perfectly happy letting the committe decide whether or not they belong.  Who knows: if Michigan does win out and the Big Ten is the conference that gets screwed this year, maybe Delany will throw his weight around enough to get a 6-8 team, major champions guaranteed a berth playoff.

You hope we don't make it but if we do you aren't going to watch? Alabama is a good/great squad but if we make it into the College Football Playoff and we're up against them we're not going to apologize to anyone. What makes you feel we don't look like a playoff team anyways? IU's big strengths are it's passing and rushing offense while we have a sudden weakness on the D-line due to injuries. We took their best shot and still came out on top, that to me is what a playoff team should do.

We can still talk about future games. We do not have impact on the outcome of games.

Keep playing until someone rules you aren't good enough to play any further. "This is (Harbaugh's) Michigan!"

I don't see the four best teams in the top four right now.

Well, no, we don't look like it this week.

Of course, the real concern for me is not what the committee thinks; it is whether or not we are capable of winning at Penn State, and especially against Ohio State. Just winning both is unlikely enough; a hypothetical matchup against doing-everything-the-way-it-wants Iowa is no picnic, either.

So I'm worried about the results of those games. If Michigan somehow wins them, well:

1. We will look pretty good in our eyes and the eyes of others
2. We will be so thrilled about those results that any hypothetical playoff berth is just icing anyway.
3. The playoff committee will think those are pretty impressive wins, because they would be.

Point is, I think the largest threat to any hypothetical playoff berth is the distinct possibility that we will lose more games. 

(For what it's worth, in my playoff scenario piece still visible in the Diaries, the Stanford loss is huge for any two-loss team to get in; there is a good chance that they can knock of Notre Dame later on, clearing the way for a 2-loss team of some variety to earn the final playoff berth. One of the hangups here could have been LSU, and they are pretty much toast now as well. Major remaining obstacles include a hypothical undefeated Houston team and the contestants in the OU-Baylor game both winning out)

 

It's not over until WE say it is. Meyer---dead man. Ferentz---dead!
