the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

- LSU plays Bama in November, so at least one of them will be out of the running.
- If we assume that Michigan wins the Big Ten, Wisconsin will be out, probably due to an upset loss to us.
- Oklahoma doesn't play any of the above and is in good shape to go undefeated if they can avoid a potential end-of-year upset by Oklahoma State.
- Boise State is... well, Boise State. They won't be in the top 2 even if they're undefeated.
- Stanford's resume looks pretty weak - their only currently ranked opponent is Oregon, and a hypothetical win against Wisconsin would put us ahead most likely.
- Clemson has already beaten 3 ranked opponents and is currently favored for the rest of their entire schedule. It's hard to say whether they'd be ahead of us if they went undefeated.
- Oklahoma State will either knock off Oklahoma or be knocked off by them.
- Oregon and Arkansas have losses, and I don't see them being ahead of any undefeated at the end of the season.

The TWIS would be so, so sweet. I can see it now... 'Bama fans bitching about how they beat us in the regular season and how we don't deserve to play them again, either outright ignoring what happened last year or making some meek attempt to explain how "this time it's different"... Ohio State fans mashing the caps lock key so hard they break their keyboards... Sparty fans being Sparty fans... Oh God please let this happen. |

I honestly forgot how god awful that song is until I played that video. Absolutely ruins it for me.
EDIT: The one in the video that shows up when you open the site. The dog groomers. The actual "This is Michigan" video was very well done. |

I can't tell if he's doing a nice little inversion of Hoke calling Ohio State "Ohio" or just made a mistake. Since this is Brian we're talking about I'm inclined to think the former, but still... Subtle troll is subtle. |

Mods removed it. I was the one who posted it, mostly looking for more info like what you posted in this topic. As strange as it feels to say this, good call on deleting my thread, faceless moderator. I suggest that this one be kept, though - hopefully anyone wondering about it will see this. |
| 1 year 30 weeks ago | That was my initial reaction |
However, I think it's worth keeping up at least to get a synopsis from someone who has a Rivals account, and as a "news post" of sort - even if the rumor is the complete bullshit that it smells like, I think the board should know about it, especially if Drew Sharp is involved as others have suggested. Maybe close topic with a Mod message warning for no more posts on it? I don't know what the right call is here, I'm just trying to pass along information. Mods, feel free to do with it what you will. |
| 1 year 30 weeks ago | I don't CARE that it's cheating. |
I care that athletes from a major NCAA program were specifically TRYING to cause injuries during a football game. If I saw a Michigan player punching an opponent after a play, or throwing a quarterback down *several seconds* after the pass was thrown, or trying to take out his assignment with an arm bar, I would be calling for his suspension, no question. If I saw all three of those in the same game, with no consequences *at all* afterward, I would be calling for a coaching change. It has nothing to do with whether those cheap shots influenced the outcome of the game. Football is already one of the most dangerous sports of the modern age, and there should be no tolerance whatsoever for actively attempting to harm other players. It's thuggish behavior and it shouldn't be tolerated - and in most schools it isn't. Jonathan Brown's nut shot against Patrick Ward was met with a one-game suspension, imposed by the coach, just two weeks ago. A knee to the groin is painful, but has little risk of permanent damage or long-term affects to a person's career. Do you really think that Brown's behavior was worth a suspension but these clips aren't? |

I agree with most people that we should be worrying about MSU, not a national championship or even the big 10 championship. However, it's an interesting thought experiment - if we did manage to run the table and then beat Wisconsin for the Big Ten Championship, would we actually make the National Championship game? The facts: So, it's entirely possible that we have LSU or Bama, Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, and possibly Clemson, undefeated and ahead of us. We can probably assume that beating Wisconsin would be enough to push us past Clemson, but I don't see how we'd be ranked ahead of an undefeated LSU or Oklahoma. Basically, this would put us in the position of a Boise State, except that this time it's an established football powerhouse, an old-guard BCS school being kept out of the championship game after going undefeated with one of the most incredible quarterbacks in the history of football. If that's not a justification for a playoff, I don't know what is...

There's a second rumor that Les Miles used some very private information on Carr as a negative recruiting tool, but I have no way to substantiate that. Personally I think we should say the rumors outright rather than skirt around them like this, but I'll defer to the rest of the board - does anyone think we should discuss them in the open? |
| 1 year 32 weeks ago | But would you say... |
...that he's turned the tide on the rivalry? Are Michigan jerseys selling in Ohio?
I ask myself: is this getting old yet?
And I answer myself: no, it is not. |

Coach Fickell: Did it work? Where's the king?
Dark Helmet: It worked, sir. We have the combination.
Coach Fickell: Great. Now we can wreak havoc among the Michigan faithful. What's the combination?
Colonel Sandurz: 1-2-3-4-5
Coach Fickell: 1-2-3-4-5?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes!
Coach Fickell: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage. |
