Why Michigan could stop Alabama-Clemson

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Michigan fans already looking past Ohio Sate and putting them in the playoffs.

That is most definitely incorrect

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

How bout since Gary Moeller punched a cop?

Tressell, Hayes, and Meyer?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Your skeelz are missing on this one

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Stop sucking dick.

Uhhh yea touch a nerve?

Look, I don't really give a shit what you use. I was just trying to help you be a better writer. Consider your audience.

You know normally I would encourage others to accept your literary constructive criticism but some of your recent works really bring your credibility into questions. Ahem...

If there is one fan base that doesn’t get to pull the “join a conference” card with ND, it Michigan’s. And there’s plenty of history as to why that is.

Do tell?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Why are you so upset at the mere mentioning of a moment in history?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

History is my jam you mutha fucka's!

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

I'm not even sure that occasion retains an accurate timeline of history for me. Where were you when the cop got punched?

Hey speaking of punching people

Know your history. Going back to Yost and Rockne. At one time ND tried to get into the Big 10 (Western Conference). Michigan, and Yost in particular, used their outsized influence to not only prevent that, but even went so far as to threaten other conference members to blackball ND.

That’s why early in their history ND had to travel to both coasts. It built ND up in the N.Y. media markets and the rivalry with USC on the west coast grew out of that.

In a way, we owe Yost for building our national brand. So it rings particularly hollow when a MI fan tells us to “join a conference”.

Uhhh yea touch a nerve?

Right?? If you wanna suck dicks til the cows come home, that's nobody else's business.

This is the year that the Coach Dan Brown led Wolverines have a very good chance of beating the OSU Buckeyes. Yet, it won't matter...Alabama could beat a team of players handpicked by God.

Michigan has a long history of trying to keep teams out of the Big10

Yeah. something MSU understands.

You're right...that may have happened a lot earlier.

I don't know man. First of all -- join a conference. Secondly, (I'm saying this hypothetically because I still can't imagine a world in which we actually beat Ohio State in Columbus) if Michigan does win the B10 and ND loses another game, that's not only a loss for ND but Michigan plays another game, which historically helps in these scenarios if we were to win it while ND sat.

What we know about CFB is that it's not always about who you lose to, but when you lost. A 1 TD loss to ND in the first game of the year, when Michigan has shown massive improvements as the season has progressed, simply won't hurt us as much as losing to Syracuse this late in the season would hurt ND; especially with other programs creeping around the playoff picture, like Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, WVU and OSU.

The fallacy in the "join a conference" is shown last year. Alabama, a loss late in the season, not playing in a conference championship game and one of the wins over Mercer. And, ND game plays five "conference games with the ACC", Stanford, Michigan, USC, Northwestern, that compares to any conference schedule in the country.

Michigan fans are not looking past OSU. Not in the least!

Don't care if OSU looses to MSU. OSU in Columbus is a daunting task.

As for Michigan's resume if and thats a big if it wins out....

The B1G is down this year. OSU beating TCU was the big victory and TCU has shown that wasn't impressive.

I would love another shot at Notre Dame on a neutral field. Since the start of the season I think UofM has surpassed the Irish with Patterson getting used to the offense and the O-Line coming together through reps.

But it would be hard to jump the Irish since they won the head to head.

I do think UofM is the only B1G team that would make the playoffs. Even a 1 loss OSU probably can't jump enough team ahead of them.

Keep in mind, we beat you with our backup QB.
