not sure why texas and texas A&M were on here, they played good teams.
Tennessee had to be on here.
Nebraska earned it.
What about Miami? 0-2.
where is UCLA meltdown? Shows their fans did not care. UCLA has scored a whopping 28 points in 2019.
Pretty sure Washington should have earned a spot. As much as they post on here about being the saviors of the PAC 12, you know they ranted.
Or else, it is just the writer going for clickbait since PAC 12 fans don't show up to rant.
No Poll?
My only regret is that Army didn't pull out the OT win, because even after the win, MgoBoard is off the charts.
Good point...I totally forgot that bamabear would poll this thread.No Poll?

I agree. They might have been the highlight games of the week but they were both underdogs.not sure why texas and texas A&M were on here, they played good teams.

I still don't understand the hype surrounding Nebraska coming into this year. They won 4 games last year. FOUR. and they were picked to win the West, and were ranked? Huh?
Yeah, except for a season isn't 6 games and Michigan actually went to a bowl game against a top 10 opponent. Our two losses came against two teams who finished in the top 7. Nebraska went 4-2 and yes, lost to OSU in a close game, but also lost to 8 win Iowa and their 4 wins came against 7 win Minn, 7 win MSU, 4 win Illinois and FCS Bethune-Cookman. Nebraska didn't finish strong, they managed to scrape together some wins against bad teams. Thinking they'd win the west was ridiculous. If Illinois had finished like Nebraska, no one's picking them to win the West this year.Nebraska finished 2018 (4-2) and were 2019 pre-season #24 (AP) Unranked (Coaches).
Those two 2018 losses were...
By 5 points @ Ohio St (31-36)
By 3 points @ Iowa (28-31) on a walk off FG.
Michigan also finished 2018 (4-2) and were pre-season #7
Those two 2018 losses were...
By 23 points @ Ohio St (39-62)
By 26 points to Florida (15-41)
There is a HUGE difference between a #7 ranking and a #24 or U/R.
Come back when you can even support your current Top 10 ranking?

As long as the Wolverines don't choke on it when it matters... we'll be back. I'm waiting for tOSU to show their hand of being overrated.No Poll?

Michigan shouldn't have been ranked #7 based on what I've seen so far. But Nebraska winning the west was laughable to me.Again. Nebraska was barely in the Top 25 where Michigan was ranked Top 10 at #7.
Nebraska has a lot more talent than your Illinois example.
Michigan fails and you fail from an OT struggle against Army (+22) in Ann Arbor.
Colorado would likely also play a close one against Army in Boulder.
You haven't supported your #7 pre-season ranking.
Come back
