Michigan Football, Team 137, 2016 Season.

[hack]

Colorado is going to end up a very impressive win. For all that they caught us flat-footed in the first, it was still a game Michigan controlled and that was never really in doubt.

If you guys saw all the off stride catches all these wrs are making around the country, it would make you just sick.

If you guys saw all the off stride catches all these wrs are making around the country, it would make you just sick.

So it's not just Michigan that's having a down year in that regard?

[WM Wolverine]

But those WR's bobble them before they catch them, they shouldn't be bobbling those catches. Against a better defense when they don't have separation, when they bobble the catch a defender will be right there. [/sarcasm]

Amazing how similar the beatdowns of UM and OSU were. Like the Buckeye's saw UM score and decided to mimick it to there own. This season is like a throwback to the Big Two and little eight era. I think everyone is happy with that including all the media.

Wilton Speight is 5th in the country in QBR, 3 of those ahead of him are Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield & Jake Browning.

[AlabamAlum]

The site I use has him at 14th, which is still very good: http://www.cfbstats.com/2016/leader/...02/sort02.html

They're using a different metric. Interesting.

[WM Wolverine]

Takes into affect rushing, sacks, etc.

Where does PFF put him?

I was watching College Football Sunday to see some of the highlights I missed from yesterday and saw they were ripping on Michigan's Non-Conference schedule.

It's not that bad. Central Florida lost a couple close games to Maryland, Temple, and at Houston... Hawaii is 4-6... Colorado will be a top 12 team when the rankings come out.
Plus they didn't schedule an extra (4 total) Non-Conference game like the SEC does.

Hawaii 4-6
Central Florida 5-4
Colorado 7-2.

[Hannibal]

Some of the "tougher" parts of our schedule turned out to be way easier than we thought they would be, but a couple of the no brainer/cream puffs turned out to be much better.

[iam416]

Hawaii is considerably better, as is Colorado. UCF is, IMO, about where I had them...borderline 500 team.

But overall the schedule has been bad. Zero road games of any consequence....and only two total. It's probably a pretty rare scheduling pass.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hawaii's division is appalling. All of the decent MWC teams are in the "Mountain" division or whatever the eastern division is called.

The lone exception is San Diego State, who is good, and Hawaii just lost to them 55-0.

[jaadam4]

The out of conference schedule is cream puff indeed. Colo isn't that good but before the year started it looked like our road schedule was brutal.

MSU and Ohio were both top 10 and Iowa was in the top 15. No one knew each one of those teams would suck balls
