I think someone here said that anyone who says that M*ch*gan losing their "elite" status doesn't know M*ch*gan. M*ch*gan in 2019 is who M*ch*gan has been for the past 40 years.
First, I counted a tie as a half a win, a half a loss. So a 10-0-2 record counts as a 11-1 season. If you don't like how I did that, feel free to smell your own armpit.
Second, I'm not counting this year. It's 1979-2018.
So in the past 40 years, they've had:
1 season with 0 losses
0 seasons with 0.5 losses
0 seasons with 1 loss
2 seasons with 1.5 losses
So 3 of 40 seasons (7.5%) had fewer than 2 losses.
7 seasons with 2 losses
1 season with 2.5 losses
So 11 of 40 seasons (27.5%) have fewer than 3 losses. 72.5% of their seasons were 3 or more losses.
11 seasons with 3 losses
0 seasons with 3.5 losses
That's 22 seasons with fewer than 4 losses. 18 seasons (45%) of their last 40 seasons had 4+ losses.
They are the little guy in 11th grade with the Napoleon complex, who loses at beer pong, cries about getting bumped on his last throw, then brags about beating up some bullies when he was in 6th grade (and he doesn't tell you that those "bullies" were in the 3rd grade at the time).
M*ch*gan may have lost their "elite" status, but it was before Reagan got elected PotUS. It isn't "news".
