What's Mandel thinking now?

[LoKyBuckeye]

Notre Dame #2 and Oklahoma #8

I don't know what happened to Mandel. He used to be so good.

Now, I find his columns to be so pointless and so full of nonsense that I stopped reading them.

This ranking for next year, prior to the juniors declaring, is a case in point.

Exhawg, shouldn't this thread be titled, "Is Mandel thinking now?"

Well said.

Actually, I prefer for Michigan to be ranked high in the preseason. It just makes it that much sweeter in November.

Actually this was ND's 8th straight bowl loss, which ties the all-time record with West Va. and South Carolina.

Actually, exhawg is right when he said "ND won't be ranked number 2 after they lose their 9th? bowl game in a row should they happen to make it back to the BCS next year."

Nah, they normally lose 1 or 2 games they shouldn't by then

Can't be. Michigan lose three games? Unpossible

Never happen. Not there... ask Michael Hart, he'll tell you ... 3 losses aint Michigan football.

I think that WV team will be pretty good and FSU as well.

scUM on the road against PSU & tOSU
ND on the road against Tenn & USC... I don't think scUM & ND will hold up against either one of those teams.

Well both Corso and Herbie say if VY leave tosu will be pre season #1....great to wear the bullseye all year

Pat Forde @ ESPN

11. Michigan Wolverines
Why: If Mike Hart stays healthy and Chad Henne continues to progress, the Wolverines will still score a lot of points. And the defense will have a lot of experience at linebacker and in the secondary.

Why not: When was the last time this program lived up to expectation?


Now that is good.

His 2006 rankings

1 Texas
2 tOSU
3 WV
4 ND
5 USC
6 LSU
7 Florida
8 Oklahoma

10 Oregon

The Charlie Weis - Domer Hype machine is already cranking up!
They've lacked team speed for years, you can't just change that in one recruiting season, even if "The Guru" is there.
