Don't you mean "bathtub gin?"

Is that you on The Oval?

By canceling its trip to Ohio State this week, Michigan might have damaged the Buckeyes’ chances of making the Big Ten Championship Game and College Football Playoff. But Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel doesn’t want Ohio State to be punished simply because the Wolverines can’t play.

During his press conference on Tuesday afternoon following Michigan’s announcement that it would not play this week, Manuel said he believes he and his fellow Big Ten athletic directors should consider removing the six-game minimum requirement so that Ohio State is eligible to play for a conference title next week.

“I don’t believe that anybody – Ohio State, or any other team – should just be punished because of decisions we made by looking at eight games and saying we should play six ... because of what happens to our team affects them,” Manuel said. “So I would be open, and I think the conference would be open, to having a discussion about whether or not we should make adjustments, whether or not schedules should be adjusted, to get Ohio State to play enough games to six or to play in the championship game with five, but I don’t think we should just hunker down and say, ‘Well, we said six, so that’s gonna be it.’ I think a conversation deserves to happen.”

Manuel also indicated he believes Ohio State deserves an opportunity to play in the College Football Playoff if it wins out.

“I just want to make it clear: I think Ohio State is one of the top four teams in the country,” Manuel said. “Deserves the opportunity to be in the conversation about their success this season. And would be a great representative to the College Football Playoff if they are chosen.”

I understand the disappointment.

I think it’s beneficial to us to avoid this game personally. Would like to see Big 10 get creative and make a 6th game for us on Saturday (would have to be announced soon to give teams time to gameplan) but even if they can’t, 6-0 gets us into CFP.

I agree with your first part... but IMO we need games right now and reps. I know it's not a huge difference being 7 and 0 instead of 6 and 0 but we really need the games to get in the playoffs.

I agree reps are important. I don’t want them with a team in middle of an outbreak. I’d rather not play at all, and get our cross over game in (to get to 6-0) than play Michigan and risk a significant portion of our team.

Fuck Michigan. They’re a joke. We have an actual goal of doing something special this year. Will we accomplish it? Probably not......but it’s a weird year. Let’s roll.
