Do you really have faith in John freaking Stocco to win a big game?
To his credit, he did beat one of the "my-conference-is-so-much-harder" SEC teams in a bowl game last year.

Per various news stations in Detroit, Bo Schembechler has passed away today at the age of 77.
I hear you. Those most affected though would be coaching staff and adults who lived Michigan football during that period '69-'89, since the kids playing tomorrow were 1-3 years old when Bo retired.I also hope that they wouldn't be affected so much by his death, but more so by the increased stakes in an already tradition-filled and hard-fought rivalry game...
At the same time though, these are 18, 19, 20 or so year-old kids... it would be almost asking the impossible for them not to be affected by Bo's death. Whether it results in a positive or negative... it's anyone's guess. But being 20 some year-old human beings, I just can't see them not being affected in some way.
It would actually be...
Um, yeah. For even longer than there's been the NFL, virtually any college or university worth its salt has fielded a football team, and they play about 11-13 games each season. College rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan and USC-UCLA are often more acrimonious than NFL rivalries. Even colleges like Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Princeton have football teams (even if they're usually not that good).I don't get it...people watch university level football in the US?![]()

Yes, it's quite different. Part of that comes from the fact that here in the US, it's expected for most students that they will attend college... so proportionately speaking, there are a lot more college alumni here than there are in the UK or other European nations. As a result, the American university experience is a lot less dignified (on average) and a lot more boisterous (on average) than in other countries, and boosters (college alumni with money) just loooooove giving money to their alma maters in order to make sure they have good athletic programs.I guess university lifestyle in the US is completely different to here though.
So, who gets to play Ohio St. for all the chips?
Their game against Cal looks like a baseball score. 3-2 at end of 1st Quarter. But that's why I'm pulling for Cal. Then Florida gets beat by Florida St. next week, and that would leave the pickle of Rutgers (if they win out) the only other undefeated top 10, and Arkansas (if they beat LSU) with 1 loss, not to mention Notre Dame. I don't think Michigan gets another chance, this year.at a guess I'd say Southern Cal. If they win out they deserve a shot. I'm not sold on the SEC.
