Of course it's the dumbass Michigan fan that cries about being listed in a season where they lost to a FCS team after starting the season with national championship hopes.

PS: It's funny calling 16 points "no more than a two score loss". You lost by more than 2 touchdowns, and have to include 2 2 point conversions, but don't think you got blown out.
That's how leads are discussed. If you're watching a game announcers will often say, "it's a two score game" when talking about 15 or 16 points.

If you lost to an FCS team, #24 Wisconsin and 39-7 to #23 Oregon, one could make the argument that your were overrated at #18.

How you guys climbed to #15 prior to the Wisconsin game that year baffled me. You had one decent win against a ranked Penn St that would follow up their loss to you by losing to Illinois.

You guys went from unranked to #15 by running the gauntlet of Northwestern, Eastern Michigan, Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota and a .500 Michigan St team...Laughable.

Luckily for you, you beat an also overrated Florida team in your bowl game or you would have finished unranked. Also, Florida didn't finish unranked they finished an overrated #13. Also, to use your argument, Louisville and Cal didn't lose to an FCS team and Cal didn't lose any by more than 14.

So no, you were not overrated in the 2012 USC or 2000 Alabama sense...but you were pretty overrated for 2007.
Being over rated is different than the most over rated. Cal going 6-6 is far more over rated than Michigan.

I think it's pretty clear I understood the math. It's funny because when does it ever actually happen that a team scores 2 TDs and 2 conversions to tie the game?

And your comeback is that announcers do it...in the middle of a game? The guys who's main purpose in every game is to make it seem better than it really is?

I'm sure it happens more often than you think. Comebacks are less likely to begin with and then to have an odd point deficit like 16 is even more rare. But I'm sure you could find examples every year where a team came back by scoring TD's + two point conversions to win the game.

Michigan was overrated multiple times throughout the year and were equally undeserving of their #18 ranking as they were of their #5 ranking.

Cal also played a top 10 SOS in 2007...Michigan's wasn't in the top 30.

After climbing to #2 in the polls Cal lost 3 games in a row to drop out of their rankings...all after their starting QB was knocked out in the win against Oregon...you know, that team that beat Michigan by 32 points. The first two they lost literally on the final play of the game. They were never the same team after their qb went down...

So what you are saying is that Notre Dame vs USC is the most over rated rivalry.

Other than the most NCs between any two rivals, The most times top 5 teams meet in the history of college football , the most All Americans ,the most draft picks, the most #1 draft picks , the most NFL hall of famers. Yeah, just two regular teams meeting.

Comebacks happen.

I asked when does a team ever do it in the manner you are speaking, aka - 2 TDs and 2 conversions.

And that's not to win, that's to tie.

It was a joke. Meaning they have been the two teams that have been over rated the most, they are rivals. Seek a consultation from your physician to have the stick removed from your ass.
