Buck fans not her to rile you all up I'll leave that for Cassells.

The odd thing about the BCS is you need strength of schedule to help your BCS score. This creates the dilema, do you root for UofM to have the best possible record for the end of the year showdown, or do you hope they lose every game knowing it may cost OSU a shot at a invite to the NC game?

I think it is a flaw of the system as I hate to see OSU win, but as of late this means more to OSU than us Wolverine fans. It is what it is!

USC, Wisconsin, PSU, Illinois, and MSU should fill their end of the bargain in the SOS department.  Even if it makes OSU look good, I just can't root for Big Blue.

GC I feel you,

No offense, even if it meant a team may sneak by you?

A BCS dilema.

I root for Michigan but when they lose I cannot keep from smiling. The Appy St. loss will last my whole lifetime and I smile every time I wear my Appy St. shirt or use the beer koozie.

I hope Michigan beats ND. I hate ND.

I think Michigan's schedule is pretty good this year and they will win the Big Ten (or share) if they beat OSU. The good thing about that possible scenario is RR can't run a million trick play sand onside kicks against the Bucks like he has nothing to lose.

Good point about having nothing to lose, those teams. OSU may be UofM's NC game and will be sky high for it. I really think winning breeds a certain amount of contempt. OSU could very easily take UofM lightly.

I think you are too generous about UofM being in the hunt to win it. they are going to have some growing pains learning the spread. RR at WVU in his first year was not pretty. 8-4 would be a success.

My philosophy is this:  if we sweep the Big Ten schedule, it doesn't matter who beats who in conference.  So for SOS purposes I would root for UM to win all their OOC games, but if they went 0-8 in the Big Ten every season, I wouldn't shed a tear...

I'd have to be face down in a bed of onions to cry over a Michigan loss.

The Bucks play at Illinois two weeks after a bye week and then host UM. They should be ready for the spread. If not the defensive coach needs to be fired.

I'd shed plenty of tears.  Of course they would be from laughing so hard I start crying but a tear will be shed.
