They are now the hunted and that's a major shift. They've had zero experience in that role as players, coaches or a program.

Beating Oregon was a regular season underdog, beating OSU was underdog and just a CCG.

Now they've had a month of being #1, QB wins the Heisman and Bama will be the TD underdog.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Cinderella get beaten with her own shoe here.

All that matters is if she has access to the accounts... lord knows his son is trying to use daddy's money to buy expensive things...

Hopefully some of this under usage is due to them being more banged up than we'll ever know and now they are healed up and ready to dominate again.

I mean that's really the NC level differentiator as I see it. That kind of offensive threat to go along with a dominant defense, no one else has that.

Take them away or severely degrade them and we're just an above average offense with a dominant defense. It can still win but the margin is much more compressed.

Not so sure about that. Playoff game at ND last year. Big wins at Autzen and in BTCG this year. They aren't going to wilt under the lights.

As to the other question, TT worries me the most. Their DL against our OL is not something that gives me confidence.

Agree on TT. They along with IU are the style/match up problems for us. Not insurmountable just the least good match ups. I'd also put Oregon in that so I was happy to see them all on the other side of the bracket.

We shall see on IU, I just have a bad feeling they are going to spit the bit and we get a redo of 2006, S-E-C "told you they were over rated" bullshit from the worldwide leader.

Most programs looking for a new HC have three things to do: Find candidates, vet them, successfully negotiate a contract. And a lot of peograms take significant time doing these three things.

If Michigan is whole heatedly serious about their endeavor to clean up their University they have to: Run an investigation of their entire athletic department, wait for the results (at the very quickest it will take months), clear out the rot, vet replacements for Manuel etc., find HC candidates, vet them and successfully negotiate a contract.

If Michigan sincerely wants to clean up their act and run a clean program, there's no way they can do anything other than have an interim HC for a year.

You're kidding, right? Why would they change a formula dating back over a year decade century?

I thought their best move would be to interim for a year, like OSU did after Tressel.

They felt super vindicated for about a quarter last night.

Ryan Williams just hasn't been impressive this year.

I think it’s due to all of the BarStool Sports ads that run during the games. The motherfucker bought himself a spot on the show.

DFBIA is now begging for Kyle Whittingham. Who is 66 years old and would have one foot out the door the whole time from the start.

Wondering how deep in his pockets Ellison will be willing to go once Bama finishes their run.

If Okie had ended they way they started last night Bama might be calling UM right now offering to help out.

Love that this throws cold water on the DeBoer renewed interest rumors also. Not sure they would have been showing "significant interest" in Dillingham if they had high hopes at landing DeBoer from Bama.

Now they can try to throw more money at him while they wait almost two more weeks for him to shut the door on them.

They were making the offense look bad by comparison.

How long into the comeback before Herbie and Reece were arguing for tejas and Vandy to be in?

SCUM is literally the Ugly kid looking for a prom date. Every girl they ask quickly commits to someone else and gets a limo and nice dinner as part of the package.

Serves those Turd Tappers right.

My thought is that IU put everything they had into knocking off Ohio State, still should have lost if not for an abysmal plan, and Bama will do them raw.

We’ll see. Prove me wrong, Cig!

Back to the drawing board, losers.
