Does anyone think Michigan has a chance?

This is not a troll at all. I genuinely will be surprised if the Wolverines keep it within two scores.

If history tells us anything about cfb its really scary to give a historic home team 0 chance

Yes. If we were playing in Austin, I’d say no. But, up there I’m expecting a knife fight.

I agree with you Frenzy. Michigan lost virtually everyone from last season. One returning starter on offense, throw last year out the window for this game.

And people understandably might not like Harbaugh, but he's a good coach (even if it involves cheating) and he will be missed.

I took tu -7.5 and the over at 43.5

So Michigan will probably win 42-0

I don't think so.

This is a better measure of Texas, though. They should win. But the offense will be tested far better than last week, and the defense should get a better test as well.

Michigan is almost a forgotten team vs last year's champion, since they've lost so much talent and their coach that got them there.

I honestly expect Texas to win to the tune of 41-13.

That would be a good score.

I love how the Rant has played this.

So now if Texas wins by 10, TEXAS SUCKS!!!

It will feel like the 50s with a decent chance of rain and wind gusts up to 30 mph.. college gameday will be there.. Fox Big Noon Kickoff will be there.. and 100,000 fans will be hyped to beat our arse.. this team also has won 23 games in a row at home.. and they just won the National Championship.. Oh and they have potentially 4 first round picks on defense.. and both teams are made up of 18-22 year old kids with emotions that go up and down as quick as the Aggie Rollercoaster...

Does Michigan have a chance? Hell yes they do.. I think the game could go either way.

New to college football? This game will be a rock fight. Michigan's defense can match the Texas offense athlete for athlete. Michigan probably isn't going to beat themselves on offense and will take a methodical approach which will limit possessions for both sides. I think it's a 1 score game late in the 4th. Special teams has a way of playing a big factor in matchups like this

Texas SHOULD cover the 7.5 spread. However, we are dealing with young men in their late teens & early 20s. Anything, in theory, can happen.

The YouTube & Sports Media talking heads are nervous about a spread that big against the defending national champs in their building. It does feel weird.

Michigan's 2 DTs and their CB are likely the 3 best players in this game. Still, teams with 5 new o-line starters blocking for unproven QBs often have major problems.

I am stunned that a defending national champion has 2 options at QB that are this bad. It is almost reckless on behalf of the coaching staff. Unless one of them shocks the world and plays really well, I will be stunned if Texas doesn't win.

I always give UM at home a chance to win just about any game. It should be a close game. Ann Arbor is a fun place to watch a game. Or it seems so on TV.

Seen it happen too many times...

No hate, I just think UM is gonna get gored. I'm thinking by 3-4 touchdowns.
