Two B1G teams with three losses are ahead of us?  Shenanigans, I say.  I (sorta) get MSU since they beat us, but Wiscy too?  I mean, USC lost to Stanford and there they are, slightly worse record but one slot higher.  Humans suck...

They lost to the #4 team by a touchdown on a neutral field, and almost had a chance for a 20 yard touchdown toss before time expired on them, I think that's pretty fair. Not to mention their other two losses came on two hail mary's. I don't have a problem with that at all.

to the coaches and players of Team 132.  Congrats to all the fans who stuck with us.  We never gave up regardless of our feelings about RR, BD or BH.  We deservse a collective pat on the back.  We were voted the best team in the Big 10.  Can anyone see if sparty had burnt down east lansing?

WE ARE COLLEGE FOOTBALL

WE ARE BACK.

I like this poll.  It also gives us a retort to Sparty when they cite their "streak" and the AP poll.  I really wish Michigan had played Sparty later in the year.

This year, Michigan "stopped the bleeding" in the OSU rivalry.  Next season, it is time to stop the instate bleeding.  

Four years of Spartybragging is four too many.

Voters just looked at numbers of wins/losses, and didn't really evaluate the strength of these teams. As always. So it's nice that we got to eleven wins.

Any number of lower-ranked teams would have beaten us this year, as MSU did.
