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

[Deep Creek]

If Minnesota wins this weekend, I think they jump Utah and possibly Oregon, and they should.

How about Bama and Georgia?

Nah, SEC bro.

 

[Chewbaccer]

about the same as georgia techs more recent natty than georgias....

I wasn't alive for either.

My grandparents on my mother's side weren't alive for Michigan's last natty.

If Georgia beats Auburn, probably not, if Georgia loses to Auburn, definitely.

Maybe Bama though. Miss State isn't doing anything for their resume.

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.

 

[Shanemansj13]

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.

You forgot about one thing...you still have this guy

Yes, that's why those claims are bullshit. Michigan has had eight 1 loss or no loss seasons since 1970. Unlike some teams, we just happened to do it in years where we didn't get "voted" the champion.

I'm still suspicious of Minnesota; I can't imagine a scenario where they come out of the Iowa and Wisconsin games without a loss. And then face OSU in the B10 title game. They're a 2-3 loss team when everything is all said and done before the bowl games. The first 8 games of their schedule they played just the easiest schedule possible. Their last four games are/were PSU, Iowa, Northwestern and Wisconsin. Let's not also forget this is a Minnesota team that barely escaped Fresno State in OT, only beat Georgia Southern by 3 points, beat South Dakota State by a TD, Purdue by a TD....so they're scraping by. I wouldn't be shocked if they got taken out by NW as well.

You sound like someone whose panties are in a twist and riding up.

Nope. It takes more than one freakishly good season every 50 or 60 years to do that.

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

It shows

 

[PickleRick]

They've only had 3 really good games this year, and let's be honest; they were lucky to escape the PSU game with a win. Those 3 turnovers killed PSU; who had over 500 yards of offense but only ended up with 26 points.

Michigan fans begining to reak of insecurity.

nix the word "beginning"

 

[PickleRick]

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.

But isnt Minnesotas playing much better now than in the begining? All those close wins were in the begining. You cant have it both ways.

Here is a fun exercise grab the top 10 teams find their points for and against and then rate them (i already know the outcome) The results may shock and surprise some people.

Just keep winning, win out and are national champions, doubt Gopher fans would care less about the mythical "blue blood" status discussion.

Just a thought
