If Minnesota wins the natty this year, is their blue blood status restored?

I don't think Michigan is a top 15 team, but I'm pretty confident we'd be undefeated with their schedule to this point.

If only there was a common opponent that Michigan lost to and Minnesota beat.


cough* Penn State *cough









Yeah, I know one was on the road, but that’s still funny. I don’t care who you are.

Though I guess it is pretty ridiculous that an 8-2 Minnesota team was voted national champion over an undefeated Ole Miss.
Not when using Bama logic. Be very careful or the trees in your yard might get poisoned.

Blueblood? Were they ever considered such?

No offense intended Gopher fans and bandwagoner T-shirters. Just wondering.

So you don't think playing Penn State at night in a white out can impact the outcome of a 1 score game by, instead, playing them at home? Michigan was a dropped pass in the end zone away from OT in that game under pretty rough away conditions. I'd be fairly confident we win that game at home.

Except you already lost to Penn State, so you wouldn't.
White out at night, at Penn State vs. playing at home. I don't think Minnesota goes into Beaver stadium during a white out and wins either.

Maybe, maybe not. But they did beat them, unlike michigan.

We came close though. And playing in a PSU white out is one of the hardest environments to win in. So I think I have a valid point. Most teams in the 15-35 range would likely be undefeated, or have a good chance at it, with Minnesota's schedule. At worst, most would likely be a 1 loss team. So even if you think UM loses to PSU, we'd probably be ranked close to top 10 with 1 loss and a shot at the B10 title still.

But then you would get clown stomped by Wisconsin and not make the CCG

edit: I forgot to congratulate you for “coming close”!

Minnesota deserves a lot of credit for an amazing season so far, but I wouldn’t put any money on them going undefeated. I’m not sure I would bet on them winning the West.

I hope I’m wrong, but I think they have two losses left on their schedule.

I don't know. It's the classic argument used by PSU a few years ago when Michigan dominated them early in the season, but they went on to win the B10. Michigan has been playing a lot better later in the season than we started. Minnesota also gets Wisconsin at home for the final game. I give Michigan a lot better chances of beating Wisconsin at home in the last game of the year than I did the 3rd or 4th game of the year at Wisconsin.

I'm sure you think you have a valid point, but you don't. Also, saying most teams in the 15-35 range would likely beat Penn State isn't helping you.

Minnesota is like the annoying little brother who grew up after his freshman year and is now banging half the cheerleading squad. Git er done
