Michigan can still win a share of the Legends Division

Despite not being able to go to the championship game, Michigan still has a lot to play for Saturday.

First and foremost, it's The Game. But Michigan also has the opportunity to win a share of the Legends Division and get a trophy.

It would be more of a historical accomplishment being it would be Michigan's first ever division championship.

isn't a fair or accurate way of phrasing it. M has a fairly clear road to the top fourteen, and once eligible will be tough not to take (it's happened once in BCS history).

It is true, what you say. However, a 3 loss UM team from arguably one of the worst conferences for football this year is not going to get the nod over the likes of LSU, Oregon, KSU, Clemson.

then it's not already done with. Also, you're assuming Oregon doesn't win the Pac (they still can with UCLA pulling a mild upset at home), and I think you mean Oklahoma, not K-State. M is in over Clemson and possibly Oklahoma; a second SEC team isn't anything but a formality at this point, though.

Oregon is in no matter what, unless they lose again. Stanford has pretty much solidified its spot as well. And I mean both Oklahoma and KSU will be in it, unless of course they lose again.

In any event, you should concentrate on doing your job tomorrow.

But a 3 loss Stanford team isn't in. They lose today, and they not play for the championship, Oregon does. Oregon goes to the Rose, Stanford doesn't go to the BCS.

We didn't win the Big Ten Championship, that's what matters.

So do all the neggers just don't think we have anything to play for tomorrow? Jesus. Michigan's first division championship, even without playing in the title game, is still a big deal. Pick your head up, I hope the team isn't as pathetic as the fan base right now.

So since we don't give a damn about shared titles, I suppose we should stop claiming the 1997 championship, right?

Seriously whatever recognition team 133 gets, they earned. Let em enjoy it or ignore it as they see fit
