4-37 over the last four years. How could i have made akron seem so much worse than they are?!?!?!? and here I thought they were just an atrocious team. but you're right because they haven't lost 37 this year alone they are actually quite good and our performance yesterday was totally undertsandable and excusable

I was posting this to all the negative nancies last night... I think I need to restart

You've made it abundantly clear where you stand, but now it is bordering on overabundant trolling and there are consequences for such things, of course. That being said, it also seems clear that you haven't read a single evaluation of the performance yesterday posted on this board, so before you chime in with the rudeness, do take time to read some of the other opinions on the board so that you can make an informed assessment of how the board feels.

I'd suggest that you find whoever has been pissing in your Wheaties and tell them to cut it out.

While Akron has certainly been awful the last few years, this year's team is probably quite a bit better, because Terry Bowden has brought in a ton of transfers (something like 22) from other programs who are now eligible. They now have some guys who were recruited by FSU, Pittsburgh, and the school in Columbus. Many of them were in their starting lineup against us.
None of this excuses our performance, but it's likely that we weren't facing another 1-11-bound Akron team.

That Michigan still has a top-25 victory on its resume, and a 50-point blowout. That alone, combined with current undefeated record, constitutes a top 25 ranking. Not everyone has played someone of ND's caliber yet.
But please, keep focusing on Akron, because obviously that's the only game that matters this year.

Dumb.

Calm down, dude. Michigan is 3-0. We almost lost to a not-so-good Ball State team late in our 2006 season. Shit happens.

To be completely honest, you're mistaken.
To suggest that a college football team should drop form 11 to sub-25 for winning a game, no matter how ugly that win might have been, is asinine and smacks of trollism. No rational fan would agree with your position regardless of the team in question. No credible journalist would agree with your position either, which is why Michigan is still ranked in the mid-teens and Drew Sharpe probably has us ranked 40th.

as it looked yesterday, we aint got any nutz. let alone "deez"
September 15th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
We're both 3-0, but we're still the only Big Ten team to beat a ranked opponent.

For reference, here is last year's poll at the same time of the season with the team in the first column and their delta position (negative meaning they dropped, positive meaning they rose) to the final poll. Teams that ended up NR are struck. The lesson? Polls change a lot throughout the season.
