Have you looked at their schedule? Ours is way tougher than theirs, not to mention the "Hostile SEC environments" we play in. Hilarious he'd be knocking our schedule.
I think there is definitely a chance for us to see the Rose Bowl and see this as a consolation prize. We had all of our eyes set on Glendale before the Ohio State game. However, I don't think it will happen. Although this year will make it three out of the last four years at being out there for our bowl, this year feels different. We have a much better defense as well as a more efficient offense. I think we have a much different mentality than in year's past where we slump out to a bowl and lose. We also have had one of the best wins in a long time with our win at Notre Dame in September. You are a MUCH tougher opponent though, so who knows?
Yes. And let us reiterate: No other school in history has had to play four (4) top ten (10) teams on the road in one (1) season. No one in the country has any room to knock our schedule, and that's a fact.
Michigan Opponents Vanderbilt (4-8) Central Michigan (MM) (9-4) Notre Dame (10-2) Wisconsin (11-1) Minnesota (6-6) Michigan State (4-8) Penn State (8-4) Iowa (6-6) Northwestern (4-8) Ball State (MM) (5-7) Indiana (5-7) Ohio State (12-0) LSU Opponents UL Lafayette (MM) (6-5) Arizona (6-6) Auburn (10-2) Tulane (MM) (4-8) Mississippi State (3-9) Florida (11-1) Kentucky (7-5) Fresno State (MM) (4-7) Tennessee (9-3) Alabama (6-6) Ole Miss (4-8) Arkansas (10-2) Record Comparisons Best to Worst: Michigan: BCS Conf Teams: 12-0 11-1 10-2 8-4 6-6 6-6 5-7 4-8 4-8 4-8 Mid-Major Teams: 9-4 5-7 LSU: BCS Conf Teams: 11-1 10-2 10-2 9-3 7-5 6-6 6-6 4-8 3-9 Mid-Major Teams: 6-5 4-7 4-8 Take it for what it's worth.
Michigan 84 - 61 LSU! 80 -62 That 10 win Notre Dame team inflates those stats. A Wolverine fan posted that he doesn't want to hear about our offensive stats run up against (weak) opposition. If we had that schedule, I don't think our stats would be any worse.
I was mainly considering that they would likely lose to OSU and have another game (probably vs. Bucky) where they laid an egg...but they'd likely beat Notre Lame.
