Griese: WTF

USC might keep the margin under 50 this time.

Yeah I'm super annoyed by all the talk about USC as a top 6, or even 10, team.  If we're not going to look at record at all then we might as well skip the whole season and just pick the 4 teams that look the best in practice.  Winning is the most important thing, and it isn't just about talent.

does a 3 loss team deserve to get in. I don't care if a panel of coaches reviewed tape and thought SC could beat Bama easily and McShay projected all 22 starters as first round draft choices. 3 losses and you are out--no exceptions.

Nope he definitely said Michigan beats OSU and then lose in the championship game to Wisconsin.

Thank you. But this is the type of reaction that you get from box score fans. All they think matters is the final score. While they're correct when it comes down to a Win or Lose situation, simply looking at the score of the game isn't always indicative to how the game was played. It's the same from people who claim we would have lost to Colorado if Liufau wasn't injured. They ignore the fact that Colorado led 21-7 after the first quarter, and Michigan was ahead 31-28 when Liufau left. The momentum had already shifted entirely by the time he got hurt, and outside of Liufau's 70 yard bomb on one leg, Colorado gained less than 50 total yards in the second quarter and half of the 3rd (when Liufau left with injury). Then you get people who complain of only beating State by 9. It was over at halftime, Michigan went into clock chewing mode and the game was still a two score game (13 point Michigan lead) with 1 second left until MSU scored (and then Peppers made it a 2 score game again). Every fan base has them. A group of people who simply look at the final score and determine whether the team struggled or not, and others who watch the games and understand the strategy and scenarios and what is actually going on. At the end of the day, the win or loss is all that matters. Some people just have to be able to grasp the concept that the final score isn't always indicative as to how close a game is. Michigan more than doubled Wisconsin in yards, won by 7, our kickers missed three fairly easy field goals, and Wisconsin's only score was coming off of an interception that was returned to the Michigan 30. The final score had Michigan by 7, but the play on the field didn't have that look.

I clearly recall OSU playing shitty with those players and losing a game last year. They have the same record right now as they did last year. Your point is again? Sounds like Iowa mindset all over again. This is not going to be a cake walk because those players aren't there lol.
