I agree, the Michigan schedule looks tough, in a make or break season for Jim Harbaugh (IMO) that schedule might hurt his chances for being their coach in 2019.

Michigan isn’t firing him short of him going 3 wins or less.

After all the talk about this this offseason, especially around Patterson, I think his seat gets really hot if they go 8-4 again.

Cool. Yet you still can't explain yourself objectively how he's actually elite.

I mean you'll dismiss what I say to fit your narrative, but whatever. He's a pretty freakish athlete, he's extremely hard to bring down on first contact, and he's an absolute workhorse. Only negative is he doesn't have elite break away speed. He's a more athletic, slightly slower version of Ezekiel Elliot. Elliot clocked in at a 4.47 40 at the NFL combine, while Dillon clocked in at 4.54. FWIW his measurables are off the charts. I'm honestly not sure why you can't get on board with him being a top 10 guy, when pretty much everyone else thinks he is?

Well he doesn’t go to Ohio State so he can’t be elite.

Pretty much. And all this shit started because I mentioned BC as a tougher game, which he then proceeded to dismiss, and then he votes them 19th in his poll. All the while I have them at 24, and I'm in on them too much. I mean, lmao. I think he's just arguing to argue.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA holy hell this is amazing

Dillon ran his 40 at the NFL combine? Dumbass, Zeke ran a 4.40 flat according to his freshman year bio. You've got to be kidding me right now.

Why can't I get on board? Already stated it multiple times: Remarkably inconsistent. Low YPC that was only aided by 3 good games against awful defenses. Literally non-existent in the passing game. Nowhere to be found against elite opponents.

He's a huge, plodding beast. He's very powerful. He's not an elite feature back. Comparing him to Zeke just killed any argument you hoped to get taken seriously. I mean, wow.

I've never said I don't think BC is a bad team. I actually like BC and have a ton of respect for what Addazio is doing. With their schedule, they could realistically win 9 games this year, which would put them right around 19th.

All this shit started because we disagreed on Dillon being an elite RB. Which is still what it is now.

Oh I already listed 10 backs that don't go to OSU that I think are better than Dillon, so there goes that.

If you're just going to select the 4 toughest games then sure. You have OSU 5th and their top 4 and FSU's top 4 is negligible. And they have to play Oregon State, Rutgers, Tulane, Maryland, and Minnesota.

I know you're on the BC train but I think you're maybe on it a bit too much. There's a real chance they wind up with the same record as Maryland this year. Maryland had the toughest schedule in the country last year arguably - they had 8 losses and 8-5 michigan was the 2nd worst team that beat them - and also had to use 6 QBs due to injuries. If recruiting rankings are any indication, they're definitely more talented than BC.

No it didn't. It started over who had the tougher schedule...BC vs Maryland.

I blame @belcherboy. This is his fault :suds:

You listed who was better but didn’t say they were elite. We all know you only think OSU players are elite.

Damien Harris
JK Dobbins
D'Andre Swift
Jonathan Taylor
Bryce Love
Rodney Anderson
LJ Scott

These are the elite RBs in college football this year IMO. They don't all play for OSU but it would be cool if they did.

We'll see what he runs at the combine then. Zeke ran a 4.47. And all his other measurables are that of an elite athlete. But like I said, completely dismissive.

Then what the hell was your initial response about?! Lol. It literally had nothing to do with Dillon.

Yup, Zeke ran a 4.47. By what measurables is he more athletic than Zeke, as you said?
