Waiting for the “ butt penn state did it in 2016” lol
October 10th, 2019 at 5:46 AM ^
Why don’t we ass them how they did it?
October 10th, 2019 at 7:23 AM ^
It was just a typo. No reason to be so cheeky about it.
October 10th, 2019 at 8:28 AM ^
This cracked me up.
October 10th, 2019 at 8:45 AM ^
a hole stoopid thread, again?
October 10th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
This thread stinks.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
I don't give a shit about the playoffs.
Beat OSU, win the rest of the games.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs???
October 9th, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
I came for the playoffs gif, I'm satisfied. Goodnight MGoCommunity.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
They are not beating osu this year I’ll save you the thought. Not happening this year or next year. When no clue. They reload every year while we retool.
October 9th, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
We did say that about the O’Korn game... just saying this defense might be able to make it that kind of game. And maybe the interceptions are made instead of drops.
But maybe not...
October 10th, 2019 at 1:42 AM ^
We also said that about the Borges/Gardner game in 2013 that came out of nowhere. The only home game Michigan hasn't hung right there with OSU this decade was 2015 and that was a checked out Durkin, and a hurt Rudock. Granted this OSU team looks as good as that 14-15 world beating group, sooo could be another one of those beatdowns. But there's a chance it's close! A small one!
October 10th, 2019 at 7:38 AM ^
That defense was better than this defense and fields is better than JT as soon as he went out Haskins tore them up. Right now they look like the number 1 team in the country and we can’t get a first down. It’s reality not negative you can either accept it or have false hope. I stopped thinking of a million reasons as to how we were going to win that game after last years debacle, and take the fandom out of it we are not even close right now to that team.
October 9th, 2019 at 11:06 PM ^
Right now all I’m thinking is beat Illinois and then move on from there
October 9th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Michigan could easily have 3 conference losses by the end of the season so riot for Michigan to win...
October 9th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Whoa whoa whoa! Rioting is a Sparty move
October 9th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
Michigan's only hope is to root for chaos.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Chaos not necessary unless you consider Michigan winning out chaos and I suppose you could make that argument. Michigan winning out would 99.9% get them into the playoff.
Doesn't really matter what anyone else does unless an undefeated UGA/UF lost a close one to undefeated Bama/LSU (or vice versa) in the SEC title game AND OU goes undefeated. HIGHLY unlikely that all happens.
That'd be the only way a 12-1 Michigan were left out.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
He didn't assume Michigan is winning out...
October 10th, 2019 at 1:44 AM ^
Then chaos won't matter anyway.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
Chaos is a ladder!
October 9th, 2019 at 10:36 PM ^
Michigan’s? Doesn’t everyone root for that?
October 9th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
No matter what you think of our chances to do so, if this Michigan team wins the Big Ten at 12-1 they're making the playoff.
Therefore, fuck MSU and ND (OSU is on a bye). I hope they both lose in embarrassing fashion (and one of them might!).
October 9th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
If the offense somehow wakes up and becomes even comparable to 2018 then we definitely have a shot. Unlikely but possible.
October 10th, 2019 at 7:12 AM ^
Oh so if the offense wakes up we will lose to OSU by 23 instead of 50.
October 11th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
Ever been to Emporia, KS?
October 9th, 2019 at 7:54 PM ^
You are dreaming. They will need help. The SEC would need 2 teams with 2 loses. Clemson won't lose a game and then you need someone to beat Oklahoma. Doesn't matter because they won't win out, but they would need help. OSU didn't make it over the SEC with one loss, and neither will Michigan.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:05 PM ^
Purdue wasn't a good team last year. So far, Wisconsin definitely is.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
OSU didn't make it because Purdue was a bad team in the middle of the year, not a very good team in the 3rd game. Not analogous.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:18 PM ^
Also, OSU didn't avenge that loss to Purdue which Michigan would necessarily do with Wisconsin if they win out AND OSU didn't have any good non-conf wins but Michigan would if they win out.
You're correct. Barring OU going undefeated AND the SEC having two undefeated teams in their title game go down to the wire (and even that might not be enough for the loser if Michigan somehow scorched the earth like 2014 OSU), a 12-1 Michigan team is in.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:57 PM ^
Yep, in this dream scenario, a revenge win over Wisconsin in Indy seals the deal.
October 10th, 2019 at 10:31 AM ^
WAIT a minute!
NOW youre putting Wisconsin up there? The same Wisconsin you said over and over would be lucky to win 8 games this year?
October 9th, 2019 at 8:15 PM ^
You don't need all those things to happen you only need one of them to happen. i.e. if OU loses they'd be behind a 12-1 Michigan team. Then it doesn't matter if two SEC teams make it.
And you don't need two SEC teams with two losses. You just need the second best team to have 2 losses or one loss that wasn't close. The only way two SEC teams are making it is if there's a non-champ that has only one loss and that loss would have to have been close. That's unlikely. And still only matters if OU goes undefeated.
October 9th, 2019 at 9:55 PM ^
Have you been watching our offense this season ? We can't run three positive plays in a row. And if we do,then we have to call a time out because we can't get the player changes and play called in time.
This offense is closer to Hoke' s than I care to admit.
October 9th, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
You don’t care to admit the offense is close to hokes, but in saying that’s you are claiming it so close to hokes. Huh.
October 10th, 2019 at 1:52 AM ^
I have been watching our offense and yeah, there's no way we're winning out but that's not the discussion here.
This dude ldevon is saying a hypothetical 12-1 Michigan would still need help and then lists a bunch of things that would also need to happen that wouldn't need to happen. That's all I'm saying. A 12-1 Michigan wouldn't need all that additional help. They'd be in.
October 10th, 2019 at 2:02 AM ^
Oklahoma loses to Texas this weekend. Book it.
October 9th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
I’d also say root for Wisconsin to make the B10 championship. If the offense wakes up, and we get a chance to redeem our bad loss, there’s no way we don’t make it
October 9th, 2019 at 8:25 PM ^
I am not sure what you are saying here. Michigan wants everyone they are playing from here on out to win-so that when Michigan beats them it holds more weight.
October 10th, 2019 at 1:55 AM ^
He's saying it doesn't really matter and he's correct. Unless Notre Dame somehow lost a whole bunch of games because that would be a quality win. And then the rest of the teams we play are largely beating up on one another so it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if MSU or Wisconsin wins because Michigan plays them both. Same with PSU-Iowa, etc. The outcome is a wash.
October 10th, 2019 at 9:40 AM ^
Exactly
October 10th, 2019 at 9:58 AM ^
I wasn't exactly saying that. If Wisconsin loses to MSU and OSU, blows out Minnesota, but Minnesota still goes to the B10 Championship, we would not get a chance to redeem our loss. And then everyone will not look at the B10 Championship as a big win because it will be against a team that snuck in on a weak schedule.
October 10th, 2019 at 9:51 AM ^
I'm not so sure. 12-1 OSU was left out of the playoffs last year.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
October 10th, 2019 at 8:34 AM ^
Always root for OSU, MSU, PSU, and ND to lose. It will make you feel better when they do. And it feels natural to do it.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:48 PM ^
ND, Wiscy, and Iowa? I could also see PSU over Iowa with the hope that us beating PSU will overshadow the close win vs Iowa. I don't think any of the other B10 outcomes will impact us much.
ND since if we will it'll be against a higher ranked team.
Wiscy for better #qualityloss.
Iowa to show the slogfest was more the defense being good, rather than the offense being bad if they could beat PSU.
But honestly it's more if we win out rather than what other teams do - but this was to answer your OP question.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
In general, always prefer the underdog to win unless it's against us.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
October 9th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
You wanna share what those games are?
In order for M to get back in the playoff picture (HALOL) they would need the most impressive wins possible.
So UW needs to win against Staee to set up a rematch, PSU needs to beat Iowa to keep them unbeaten for next weekend, ND needs to beat USC, and of course teams within arms reach in the rankings need to fall (Oregon, Boise St, Texas, etc).
Don't have to worry about OSU winning, no one in the B1G is touching them this year. But if M beats PSU and MSU, once again the division will be on the line the last week of November.
