re: Your preseason Top 10?

You said they were undefeated on the road, they weren't.

Apologies. I meant to say undefeated in conference play on the road. Again, for a first year coach, this is very impressive. The last time they went undefeated in conference play on the road they won the national championship.

And yeah, the schedule was favorable, I suppose. But that game at Minnesota was no gimmie. Minnesota also took TCU to the wire early in the season (I had picked Minnesota to win that game so I remember watching them with great interest...good team). But they also went to Maryland and Penn State.

Anyways, point being, Michigan had a remarkable season last year, and I expect them to be even better this year. May spell trouble for the rest of the Big10, but we'll have to wait and see.

I think there will be a Big10 in the playoffs this year, and it could very well be Michigan. It will most likely be Ohio State, but Michigan and Michigan State will also be laying a considerable claim.
