Michigan Football, Team 137, 2016 Season.

Did I miss where the injury was confirmed and that Speight will be out for IU/possibly osu as well?

[jaadam4]

Yes

[Jeff Buchanan]

I thought about posting links to the S&P + rankings following the weekends disasters for three of the top 4 teams and thought again, WTF?

The 87th ranked Iowa defense held the 8th ranked M offense to barely over 200y and the # 1 ranked M defense couldn't keep Iowa's Wadley in check sufficiently to keep him from moving the chains for Iowa and scoring a wide open TD.

Like I said, WTF. While I have a healthy skepticism about the predictive value of all the game stats and odds that are out there, I have zero confidence in them for the next 2 games, playoff and bowl predictions.

I am thinking we go down next week against the Bucks, hopefully not a blowout ... but I think we are the only team with wins against 3 teams in the current CFP top 10?

With M or O-state will have a pretty impressive resume for the CFP after next week.

I think O-state is in good shape to make the CFP even if PSU is able to beat Sparty next week, especially if Wisky beats PSU in the B1G champ game.

Yep. M and OSU each played 3 top 10 teams. M played them all at home. Ohio State played them all on the road. At night. With two coming off byes.

[Pasadena Blue]

Really impressive resume for the Bucks.
Will be interesting if Washington, Clemson, and PSU/Wisky win out.
Clemson will be clearly in, and if it's PSU they are in I think (which will be one of the most amazing outcomes of all time).
It comes down to a 1 - loss Bucks vs 1-loss PAC12 champ Huskies.

will really test the committees weighting of conference championship vs quality wins.

If Wisky wins against PSU, then you have to choose them over a Bucks team that they lost to!!

[iam416]

I think it's moot because of HARBAUGH, but I think OSU would clearly be in. That said, they probably really need Stoops to not hack it up tonight.

[Pasadena Blue]

HARBAUGH has been officially demoted to harbaugh after the Iowa debacle

[WM Wolverine]

Season at or above most peoples expectations and a toss-up game next Saturday.

[Pasadena Blue]

Season at or above most peoples expectations and a toss-up game next Saturday.

while that is technically correct, last week's performance was abysmal and just as JH gets a lot of credit, he deserves blame for his team not showing up.

[WM Wolverine]

Then we'll have to give him credit for all the games the team did show up, fair?

Lloyd's & Moeller's teams always had games like Iowa, at least a couple a year.

[Paul L]

I'm beginning to think PB and Hanni are the same person.

[hack]

I haven't seen this one yet but it looks bad. Let's see what happens next week. Another blowout would be awfully disappointing.

[Pasadena Blue]

Then we'll have to give him credit for all the games the team did show up, fair?

Oh, absolutely. JH has done a superb job overall... but I don't think it's blasphemy to criticize him when he slips up. Unlike others here I am not calling for his firing.

[iam416]

You boys need to cease the blowout talk. OSU is not blowing out M. 22 games of evidence very clearly establishes that.
