There is a lot of Michigan hate on this board ... I have been told that you don't get this kind of hate unless your good. If I had to predict, I would say 12-0 in the regular season, but I would trust my predictions as much as @outofyourmind 's.

Evidently you were told wrong.

Urban Meyer is Urban Meyer though.

Dudes a shitbag, but he wins.

Can be said for most of them at that level.

Meyer. Harbaugh. Saban.

They'll never win Nice Guy of the Year Awards.

But they'll win football games.

I don't think Harbaugh is a shitbag.

He's just a creepy douche.

Saban is more of a cocksucker, imo. (I felt stronger about that in HS when I'd see him ery now and then than I do now.)

Here's a quick rundown

L - Florida in Arlington. Florida has too much talent coming back.
W - Cinncinnati - If this were 3 years from now, Fickell would fuck them up, but it's not
W - Air Force - Not even a close game.
W - @Purdue - Nice first away game to get settled in.
W - Michigan State - Dantonio will still have a dumpster fire going.
W - @Indiana - Wilson is gone and so is any hope at winning anything at Indiana.
L - @Penn State - This won't even be close. Bus in the clowns.
W - Rutgers - This made me laugh just typing it out.
L - Minnesota - Michigan will lose to somebody they shouldn't so why not this team.
W - @Maryland - What's his face won't have it going good enough yet to threaten Michigan
L - @Wisconsin - See @Penn State.
L - Ohio State - Michigan can only dream they were Ohio State. Big Ohio State makes a statement.

7-5 is what I see.
No sugarcoating it.
Unless the Michigan QB takes a "HUGE" step forward, it might be even worse than this.
And by huge, I mean, have a good shoulder, make good decisions, don't give the game away, throw it to his own guys more often than to the other guys. You know, stuff like that.

Push around every bad team they play.
Get their shit pushed in by every good team they play.

8 or 9 wins I'm guessing. Nothing more than a guess though, as outside the DL, UM has youngsters everywhere.

The one good thing I keep reading about the team -- Tarik Black has been the best WR on the field (Donovan Peoples-Jones has battled an injury). If Black is as good as they are talking, pairing him with DPJ on the outside will give UM some great targets this year at a position I was worried about. Plus they still have Nico Collins and Oliver Martin (the great white hope) soon.

Will be an interesting year. I hope if they do drop a game or two early -- they go to Peters to give him experience, if he doesn't beat out Speight prior to the year.

:pound:@ Harbaugh. 7 wins at the most. Hell, he had more players drafted than Alabama and only managed 3rd in his own division. :pound:

Michigan is just about replacing all of their starters. That will make it interesting, but even with that, Michigan goes 8-4.

To me, it looked like their defense still looked pretty good but that was against the Michigan offense in the spring game.

Florida, Penn State, Wisconsin, and The Ohio State are the losses.

under hoke, another dumpster fire.
...with one exception. Wasn't Hoke the idiot that recruited all those guys that were so bad the NFL teams decided to draft 'em the past three days?
:noidea:

I really think the Florida game is a toss up.
But I flipped a coin and it came up gators.
Supposedly Florida gets very uncomfortable leaving the state to play OOC games so that'll be foreiign territory for them. But that has to be some silly scuttlebutt that Florida haters have been spewing. No one plays all their OOC games in their home state.
