Utah's best win is not Oregon.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^
Come on man. Michigan is clearly a good team, at worst - the beating we put on BYU is hard to minimize (compare how BYU has played against everyone else) and it's no small task to hold two straight Power 5 teams to barely 100 yards apiece. It's hard to imagine we're not a top 25-caliber team; whether we are in fact top 10-15 remains to be seen.
And then when you demolish Oregon by six TDs in Autzen, that speaks volumes, even if Oregon is down.
October 4th, 2015 at 9:10 PM ^
I think you're very clearly top 25, but let's be honest, Utah rocketed up the polls after they smashed Oregon, not after they beat Michigan. In the context of why Utah is climbing the polls so fast, and their resume, Utah murdering Oregon is the reason people took notice.
October 5th, 2015 at 4:50 PM ^
This is the difference between beating an unranked opponent at home by one touchdown, and murdering a ranked opponent on the road. However, to say Utah does not have a real resume is silly. Realistically, how many teams can you point out with a better resume at this point in the season?
October 4th, 2015 at 2:12 PM ^
Okay. All the rankings...
Great to see our name there again, especially at #18, we got a little more cred with the writers than the coaches.
I want the Big Ten Title. Going to be tough to get this year, but better not count us out.
NW is biggest game for us in A LONG TIME. BEAT NW!
October 4th, 2015 at 3:01 PM ^
I bet we win but either way it is not a big game. It is Northwestern a middle of the road big ten team, in the middle of a season that has been written off by the same people who think this is a big game, not necessarily you. If you are one of those the next game is the big game people so be it. There is nothing to win or lose in this game, it is one game.
October 4th, 2015 at 3:57 PM ^
Anytime the #13 team plays the #18 team its a BIG game...We need this win to set up the MSU showdown for national hype and exposure..maybe Gameday is on the line too...Nobody here was thinking wed been in the conversations we are in right now..To keep that going we have to beat NW..its a HUGE game for Michigan momentum wise

next season with road games at MSU and OSU. I think O'Korn will be a major upgrade to the QB enxt season and the D will still be great. Overall, I think we have a better chance to win the B1G this season. May be another good chance in 2018, though our O will be great and our D will be losing some great players to graduation.
October 4th, 2015 at 2:10 PM ^
come on we got a qb coach as head coach. i am totally sure he knows what he is doing. leave him alone and let him coach.
October 4th, 2015 at 2:13 PM ^
October 4th, 2015 at 2:12 PM ^
most important thing is to beat them this coming Saturday... GO BLUE !!

Being ranked higher than Utah is a disgrace. Looks like holding on for dear life at home against Purdue (lost to Marshall and Bowling Green) impressed .
October 4th, 2015 at 2:15 PM ^
Remember in 2013 when Michigan was winning games but going the other way in the rankings? I'd go as far as to say its rather ominous.
I also remember in 2013, it was about 2 weeks before the MSU game that were headed for a world calss beat down to them. Two weeks to go, and ceartainly don't have that same feeling.

Oh, we deserved to go backwards. And it wasn't long before sparty nocked us out of the rankings entirely until we finally got back in last week. Hope we can return the favor in two weeks.

TCU played one decent team, Minnesota, and beat them by 6. Funny what happens to a high powered offense when you play a team that actually has a defense.
Baylor hasn't played anyone yet. The Big 12 is once again a fraud until proven otherwise.
LSU had trouble with EMU.
I think Utah is the best overall team in the country at this point.
October 4th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
Texas Tech isn't no one. Its a fraud I'm guessing because you think they score to much.
October 4th, 2015 at 3:26 PM ^
Sam Houston State scored 45 points on Texas Tech. Something tells me that Sam Houston State doesn't score 10 points against any of the top five teams in the B1G except possibly Sparty.
October 4th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
You just made my point. You think because a team uses the air raid and plays fast they can't be any good.
October 4th, 2015 at 3:35 PM ^
October 4th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
A 42 point win in Eugene is damn impressive no matter what. And it's not like any other teams have resumes that blow Utah's out of the water. IMO Utah has as much a claim at #1 as any other team.
October 4th, 2015 at 3:14 PM ^
stanford ahead of NW eh?

I hope MSU is #1 when we play them. Seriously. They don't know how to handle it.
October 4th, 2015 at 2:28 PM ^
You took the words right out of my mouth. The lack of disrespect would cause them to implode.

that at this point there is a legit number one team. There hasn't been that one team that has just trounced everyone. Its shaping up to be a really interesting year
October 4th, 2015 at 2:35 PM ^
Get to the bye 6-1 with two big wins...and THEN start truly worrying about the polls.
It'll be at that time where we need every spot we can get.
But we need these two W's on the resume to truly feel like we deserve a seat back at the table we built. Don't even need to be blowouts. Just need W's. Get them - and we're back where we belong.
These next two weeks are put up or shut up time.

But the polls seldom make sense. USC was still ranked ahead of Stanford last week. That's obviously sound logic.
October 4th, 2015 at 2:48 PM ^
Utah has the 3rd most first place votes now. The benefits of having a bye while a bunch of teams actually played and look like crap :) Baylor 2nd with 10, Utah now has 7.
