I won't pretend to be an expert on the Washington depth chart. However, I will point this out. On the game winning play, Michigan didn't have McGregor, Harrell, Jenkins, or Paige on the field because our defense is so loaded that some people have to leave the field on every play.
Winning a couple state wrestling titles on a team I am an assistant for. My cousin is also an assistant and another cousin an athlete and now coach with us. My brother, sister, parents, various aunts and uncles being in the stands cheering us on. Those are memories that’ll never go away
2017 offense was still 49th in S&P. 2014 team was 76th. But I do agree that 2017, 2012, and 2011 were about equal in terms of quality. 2011 won 11 games but S&P suggests they got lucky by 1.9 wins total
One thing I wouldn't mind seeing at the end of each piece is a consensus ranking 1-14 (or however many you'd need depending on position), just as sort of an add on to the discussion of the top kids at each spot. Love the new format though.
Oh I 100% agree that they're in the business of making money. But there's a reason they're using 10.5 wins to make the money and not 9.5 or 8.5. It's because most people think Michigan is going to be very good this year. 10.5 is also exactly in line with what FPI is projecting (granted that number also includes a bit of conference championship odds in it as well, but still)
My favorite palace memory is actually a high school sport. It was being in my cousins corner coaching him at the state wrestling finals. He pinned his opponent in the semi final and I held it together until I got into the bowels of the arena where I absolutely lost it. Such a great memory
Well, the post game win percentage is based on the five factors:
If you win the explosiveness battle (using PPP), you win 86 percent of the time.
If you win the efficiency battle (using Success Rate), you win 83 percent of the time.
If you win the drive-finishing battle (using points per trip inside the 40), you win 75 percent of the time.
If you win the field position battle (using average starting field position), you win 72 percent of the time.
If you win the turnover battle (using turnover margin), you win 73 percent of the time.
Now from looking at the five factors box score, I don't see anything for explosiveness, but OSU had a higher success rate, won the drive finishing battle, and had better field position. Neither team turned the ball over. I don't agree at all that PSU dominated the game. They did blow a lead, but that game could have gone either way if they replayed it.
Actually, Bill posted an article a year or two ago. Teams projected to win 50-59% of the time won at a number in the 50s range (Don't remember exact numbers). Teams in the 60-69 range were the same, and so on. So everything you think is wrong.
He doesn't get any yards the OL doesn't create for him? Just a quick check of the stat profiles from Bill Connelly indicates that this is an idiotic comment. You made a bad post and you should feel bad

And then they were 4 games under .500 in the 10 years between that guy and Saban so….

Yeah! We need to recruit more like Texas A&M!!! What we have been doing isn't working! We only went 13-0. Why aren't we 43-0??? People are talking

Just fyi, Cam is not Myles’ brother. They are cousins
Craig, did you really say Wisconsin is going to win out? FPI gives them a 0.5% chance to win out. I'll watch Brian eat a lemon if they win out
You seem like a fun person (I take it you can detect the sarcasm there with your world class sarcasm detector)

All fans say that when anyone leaves. It’s just a coping mechanism
You say “6-6 or 7-5 ever again” likes it’s even happened once yet.
So in your mind, he stayed because he was tired of losing? Oooookay
I occasionally listen as well. Mostly it’s when something bad has happened to Michigan State because that’s always fun
Leaving toward returning? Now I'm even more confused than ever!
Care to re-evaluate?
Log off
No
You are bad at posting and should feel bad
I’ll take them if available still
They didn’t have a scripted drive Td last year. Their only td last year was an 8 yard drive that they still felt needed a trick play to get done
I’ve never seen so many cyan circles on one offense before. Woof
Interested to see how Michigan handles their lineup this winter being that two of the starters have qualified for the Summer Olympics
Wanted to upvote this. But it's at +12 as I read it so I feel that's good enough
He should have transferred to Middle Tennessee instead of the Tennessee that can't even beat Georgia freaking State lol
I'm sure if you went to Vegas and put up those numbers against the spread all year you'd be so mad, wouldn't you?
We did something about it! We kicked their ass, tore up their field, and took Paul on a victory tour of that garbage land they call a stadium.

Sucks
So far under Harbaugh, they have gone unranked to 12th in 2015, 7th to 10th in 2016, and 14th to 14th last year. And of course 2017

Then why don't they set the Michigan line at 10.5 wins every year if they're just cashing in on suckers?
I'm not the one that's crying. It's you who is
Go blue!
Because some people can’t handle success in anything without yelling about football

It’s actually a pretty cool opportunity for the kid. I’m sure people will be up in arms about Harbaugh finding a loophole to get this kid tho
This kid is a fairly significant wrestling prospect. He’s ranked 4th nationally at 195 right now
And here I always thought it was MSU who was a safety school...
He's posted the gif 5 times today. So I'm guessing as of now, we have 4 commits coming
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!
He always did celebrate after finishing in the 18th hole of the day
Good driver for a woman anyways. Heyoooo

The 2016 NBA Championship is in LA now
Kentucky is 7th in defense on S&P.

I've mentioned before that I coach at an in-state powerhouse. Our head coach thinks Bormet is going to make Michigan explode soon
