And wow Michigan has one of the easiest schedules I’ve ever seen.


To be fair, they do play six road games, one of which is at Oklahoma. Nebraska, Michigan St. and USC won't be easy road games, either.

Play in the ACC


But the ACC has more depth than the SEC remember?

10 ACC teams playing 2 or less ranked teams. Ridiculous.

Maybe. They are going to have a front seven which should be really good again. If OU can’t move the ball then Michigan will man ball you and test your will for 4 quarters

Virginia avoiding both of those may set up an Indiana-type season if they have a decent squad. 
They are dogshit and even with that schedule will be lucky to be bowl eligible.

.shocking how bad some schedules are..Michigan only plays 1

and they will still get in the playoffs even if they lose it.

If Michigan gets in the playoffs with that insanely bad schedule...


.they will contue with the easy schedule every year. The commitee does not care at all how hard your schedule is at all they have proven that...smart by Michigan, why play tough games in the regular Season when it only hurts if you lose...much better to beat a easy team.

I can already the talking heads blabbering "but they've won every game on their schedule and have EARNED it..."

Actually, they'll have 1 loss in the only real game they have and expect to get in the cfp.

Michigan has some losses in there. Their over under is 8.5 and Vegas said Michigan was the number 1 most bet team for hitting the under the win total, so most people think they will lose 5

at OU
at Nebraska
at USC
Washington
Ohio St

They could very easily lose all of those.
