BTCCG Michigan 43. Purdue 22

[THE_WIZARD_]

I think M is better under JJ...I think your D is solid but maybe not quite as good without Hutch...UGA did lose some big defensive talent but my God they are talented and deep. Might be a little closer this year...but I'd still take UGA and lay up to 14. Beyond 14 I wouldn't take the bet though.

The spoilmakers now have a 17 win record vs. top 5 AP ranked teams, while being unranked. The most in history of any team. Scary stuff..

[Jeff Buchanan]

Scary? No. Purdue back to Joe Tiller and 5 other coaches after him have featured CFB crappe as their ace in the hold card. They welcomed playing unprepared top 5 teams, at home or on the road that took Purdue for granted and then got trick played into a loss. I feel confident that M is not going to take Jeff Brohm and Purdue for granted. And I'm even more confident, based on 2022 results, that they wont get trapped into falling for high leverage trick plays. An important lesson on taking teams for granted was learned when Bret Bielema brought his Illinois team to AA, Chase Brown was actually healthy rushing for nearly 150 yards and the Illini D out punched M, nearly winning that game.

Reading this doesn't make me anymore confident about this game. Illinois almost beat UM and Purdue beat Illinois. If Jim decides to sit players then this game is far from a gimme. In fact there is no good that can come from this game cept it would eliminate the Bucknutz for good if they lose.

Michigan won't be taking anyone lightly when the conference title is on the line. I think they value the Big Ten title more than they do a playoff berth.

I'm sure they won't take anyone lightly. It's just that PU either shows up to play or they dont. I hope we don't get the former

[Mike]

Will it matter?

[THE_WIZARD_]

no

[Hannibal]

I really hope that Corum is up to 100% this weekend.

[Mike]

I don't think he will be and should be used sparingly or held out completely. We have bigger fish to fry.

[Hannibal]

Let’s not look past Purdue.

[Dr. Strangelove]

No. Let's.

Lot's of examples of teams that really had no business winning their CCG...1996...#2 Nebraska upset by Texas...1998 #1 KSU upset by Texas A&M...2003 #1 OU upset by KSU...Alabama over Florida (twice...1999 and 2009)...Michigan State over Ohio State in 2013...LSU over Tennessee in 2001...
