Ouch on comparing FSU and scUM. I like it.
My opinion of this game is this: I'm going to keep going to this game and one of these days, it may not be today, it may not be next year and it may not be in 5 years, the streak is going to unexpectedly end. And it's going to be great. Looking at these teams there's no way Michigan should win but it's going to happen some time. Maybe this is the year?
It would also be pretty great to beat OSU, have them go to the CFP playoff and end up in the Rose Bowl.
Now the bad news...even if Michigan pulls off the impossible, OSU will still win the division, will still win the conference, and will still make the playoff.
Trophy case. then and now.
Yes, we would. As I understand it The Rose Bowl has to select the next highest ranked B10 team if the top team gets selected for the playoff. Currently Michigan is ranked ahead of both PSU and Wisconsin in the AP and Coaches. A win over the #2 team in the country would solidify that lead. Wisconsin would likely lose another game in the B10 title game, thus dropping them further.Michigan isn’t going to the Rose Bowl. We lost to Wisconsin and Penn State. We will finish behind Wisconsin and Penn State, even if we have the same record.

Basically, if Michigan beats OSU and they make the playoff; we're guaranteed a spot in the Rose Bowl. Of course if we lose to OSU then no, we have no shot at the Rose; we'd likely end up in the Citrus or Gator (depending on who they select).
If it's not automatic (which I thought it was) they'd still likely pick the next highest ranked team in the B10. Especially if the team was Michigan because of the name and fan draw it would create.Not guaranteed. The Roe Bowl has a selection process in which they choose the team that they deem best, not the AP.
I admit our memory isn't as good as scUM's. I mean just look how far back you guys have to remember to a time that the team actually won an outright B1G title. 16 years, the only players on your team that might remember that would be the Seniors lol, maybe.
Not to mention the rest of the country being like "wait, xichigan won a natty in 97?" I thought Nebraska won it that year." So keep up the memory supplements scUM fans, cause it ain't getting better yet
@SlinkyRedfoot two week avatar be based on the point spread?
This is the best line of it all.
And if they do win, I remind Michigan fans of Harbaugh's record against THE.
(1) I know you're going to laugh at me when I tell you this, but I just can't do it. Not for this game. Really, my issue is the spread - I wouldn't be able to stand wearing some fucking Michigan crap because tOSU won the game but didn't cover.
(2) I also realize that it wouldn't be fair to you if we just bet straight up because you root for a has-been program with a washed-up shitbird head coach.
