How overrated is Michigan?

Ohio State is the only team in the B1G who has the talent to go toe to toe with anyone in the country. They don't always have the team capable of doing it, but they're the only program in that part of the country who has the potential. Too many inferior athletes. They look fine when they play each other or some mid-tier Pac-12 or ACC team, but when they play an upper echelon program they tend to look horrible.

Thinking about, if I am being completely fair, for this year they really were only overrated by one. They are arguably the 3rd best team in the country but Bama and UGA are superior to everyone else. I think that if you lined Michigan up against any other team in the Top 10-15 team they win or keep it within a score outside of if Ohio State really has the offense cooking on any given day.

UGA was just a nightmare of a matchup for them. You have to be able to run between the tackles and throw vertically on UGA. UGA dominated the "best" Oline in the country, ran down all the little misdirection and got them going side to side and once that happened they didn't have the weapons to throw downfield.

However I think you look at any other team beyond UGA and Bama this year, they would have been fine on either side of the ball. Part of this was the need to push Aiden Hutchison as a 1st round pick deserving Heisman winner. I don't want to trash the guy cause he is a top 10 pick and he should have been six or seventh in the Heisman behind the other guys, Will Anderson and the back from MSU, but they really got invested in the idea that he is Michigan Bosa which he isn't. Some how he became a better Heisman candidate than Will and a better draft pick than Thibadeaux based off 2 games against an OSU Oline that was dominated by Oregon and a typical Kirk Ferentz Iowa team. It was ridiculous.

But I reality compared to the rest of college football after the top 2, Michigan is just as good as any of them.

Dude everyone not named Bama looks slow and unathletic against UGA.

They are about as good as Kentucky.

Ohio State defense was historically bad even worse than last year when Bama prison raped them.

In my opinion Cincy has a better team than Michigan .... faster on offense and a stronger defense... Michigan looked very slow overall... Cincy would probably beat them by two touchdowns!!!

The simple fact that the media put so much hype and national attention towards Hutchinson over Will Anderson is criminal in of itself. That BS and the awards being doled out completely exposed the media and these so called cfb experts.

It's incredibly corrupt and biased. Heck, I think that Dallas Turner is a better player than Hutchinson. Anderson put up twice the stats against far superior competition.

Honestly, I think that th Michigan team that Alabama beat in the Citrus Bowl two years ago was better than the one that they fielded on Friday.
