Across The Field
Oaky Afterbirth
michigan has at least sniffed championship contention a couple times in the last decade (2006, 2016). Since 2006, Miami has finished ranked only a couple of times - literally, twice - despite being in arguably the largest hotbed of recruiting talent. They're a cute story this year with that last second win over 1-3 Florida State, but they're so far from being relevant. The odds are good they'll lose 3-4 more games, go to an irrelevant bowl game and finish unranked yet again. Rinse, repeat.No one cares about Michigan when they're getting blown up in the Gator Bowl..
Miami was as good as anyone through the mid 2000s - including fielding one of the best CFB teams of all time.
Michigan gets talked about because they hired a coach that looks to have a slight mental disorder and has a stupid khaki shtick.
