Michigan will be in the Playoff Picture in late October for the first time since 2016

[belcherboy]

Michigan doesn't begin till October 24th...so that means they will be undefeated in late October. That is a fete they haven't accomplished since near the beginning of Harbaugh's tenure at Michigan.

My prediction, if Michigan can make it to November undefeated, they will be in the playoffs. You heard it hear first, and if you want to be rich, you need to bet your life savings on it!

So you're guaranteeing a W on 12/12?

Could they still make the playoffs with one loss?

 

[MaximumSam]

They gotta get past the Gophs first. If Rashod Bateman gets to play, that will be a banger

In a full season possibly. But with this odd season I don't see two teams from one conference getting in.

And Gamecocks are tied for first in the SECE.

 

[Erie Warrior]

Don't you do this every year?

 

[olympicoscar]

I think Rutgers is also in first place. They have their fate in their own hands.

I’m not worried. The last time the Gophs beat Michigan was 2014, the time before that was 2005.

If you listen, you can hear the ghost of the Confidante howling his approval from the decommissioned ESPN servers, at this fantastic bookit call.

Even the most diehard UM don't believe they have a shot at much this year. They are replacing their whole OL, their QB, their top 2 WR, top 2 CB, etc.
If UM wins 5 games, I'd be happy. With Milton at QB, lord knows what we will get. He would need to have made a HUGEjump in development to even be at Patterson's level.

Don't let Harbaugh find this thread. He'll postpone games until November, just to say we're undefeated in October and November.

 

[iowajerms]

So will Nebraska...

Oh wait...

Postpone? You mean take the undefeated streak into November? I think it would be a perfect time to postpone due to COVID...it would all but guarantee a playoff spot!

We have a pretty rough schedule; opening with two rivalry games back to back and a Minnesota team that could easily beat us. Getting Minnesota and Wisconsin in the cross over games feels a bit unfair compared to what others got (OSU got Nebraska and Illinois) but we'll see. We basically play every single tough team in the B10 this year. I don't think we'll come out of that undefeated by OSU.

405am......wtf man lol

[We Are Decent]

Michigan is going 5-3 at best.

I was thinking 6-2 or 5-3 but if we start off with a loss @Minnesota it could be a 4-4 season easily.
