1. 10-2

2. About what I expected t to be.

3. Better than I expected...hard to tell how good it actually is against an anemic offense like Florida's

4. not sure

5. Alabama for sure...any other teams...your guess is as good as mine.

1. 12-0

2. Offense is about what I expected for week 1. Think the passing game will improve but be far from otherworldly.

3. Defense is slightly better than anticipated.

4. Saquon Barkley, Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts

5. Michigan, 'Bama, Oklahoma and Clemson

Iowa will come out of the West. Speight will continue to run hot and cold. he is what he is at this point. defense will finish top-7. Heisman finalists are Jackson, Barkley, Hurts, and Mayfield. Barkley wins. CFP teams are still Bama, USC, Michigan, and South Florida.

confidence for the rest of the season, but I'm not ready to change expectations based on one game. Florida may not be that good especially with 10 guys suspended. How good is Texas? Louisville? I don't think we really know how good anybody is until we get to October.

Only loss to Alabama in NC Game

Remember people this was the OPENING Game...and they Dominated..A SEC team thats won the East 2 straight years.

SP8 not going to throw 2 Pic 6s again..not going to happen and running game looks promising..converted alot of big 3rd downs...

 

Michigan, Alalbama,FSU (IF they have their QB) Clemson if not, and Ohio St

All those heartbreaking near misses last year will have served this team well..They have to play 60 minutes each game..not 59:59

LOOK. I've been trying to place bet on us going undefeated, and hedging a few games.... And I Cannot find where or who will take the bet. So that should say what I think. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

that outcome looking at this defense and realizing that Florida is probably the most talented and fastest team Michigan will play until we travel to Happy Valley. I think they are clearly going to be undefeated heading into that game when we can fret again. It is clearly the only ranked team Michigan will face with the competition between now and then rating conference dead weights and FBS also rans.

But honestly, looking at Penn State yesterday, they seemed scary good on offense. Caveat emptor: that was against Akron. And the Zips didn't look very zippy in getting zipped up 52 nil. Seemed like they got rock, paper and scissored to death by WE ARE an RPO offense led by McSorely and Barkley.

What's Michigan's regular season record this year?
11-1

This Michigan offense is better/worst/as you expected?
Mixed: receivers like Black are already exceeding my expectations, but Crawford and Speight disappointed me. Fairly impressed with the Oline, though. Our run game will develop well. Disappointed at no passes to TE except for Eubanks catch.

This Michigan defense is better/worst/as you expected?
Unbelievably better. Truly looks more frightening than last year (I know that's blasphemy, but go ahead and get out your torches and pitchforks because I said it!)

Who are you 3-5 finalists for the Heisman Trophy? (at the end of the season)
1. Jalen Hurts
2. Clemson QB (can't recall name)
3. JT Barrett
4. USC QB (Darnold?)

Who are Final 4 for in you College Football Playoff? (at the end of the season)
1. Alabama
2. USC
3. Michigan/OSU winner
4. Florida State
