Regarding Michigan being ranked 24th in the AP with 8 wins in 2012.
BTW they were unranked in the Coaches.

These are Michigan's 8 wins.

Air Force 6-7
UMASS 1-11
Purdue 6-7
Illinois 2-10
Mich St 7-6
Minnesota 6-7
Northwestern 10-3
Iowa 4-8

The beat two (a.k.a. "multiple") teams with winning records.

The combined record of the teams they beat.......A pathetic 42-59.

They actually LOST to 10 win Nebraska who finished behind them in the AP 25th.
Nebraska was also ranked in the Coaches at 23rd where Michigan was not.

There is and always has been a bias in the AP sportswriters for Michigan. Hence Michigan fans being so fucking delusional.

It's because of the name "Michigan".

Nobody underachieves like tejas. However, Michigan is a close 2nd.

Guess it is better to underachieve than becoming a school no one expects anything from like.......Nebraska.

I shouldn’t say no one — everyone expects you women’s volleyball team to be successful.

That’s what happens when the only thing a college is known for is women’s volleyball and the amount of people who show up to cheer on the band.

That's what happens when someone actually achieved over 100 years ago.

No outright national championships in 70 years. One shared in that time ONLY because of dear AP sportswriters sympathy.

I just proved that bias using 2012 as an example.

If I were to bet the game, I'd take the +36 and S. Alabama.

Garbage TD's are spread breakers.

The best part of this, Nebraska hasn't won any conference title in 20 years. Not B12, not B10. This century, Nebraska has 0 conference titles and has never won the B10. But feel free to continue.

I think the word "band" in the title triggered the Michigan fans.

We invented that whole dotting i thing, so I get a good kick out of OSU continuing our tradition.

You mean like how Ohio State started the whole winged helmet thing and Michigan continued the tradition?
