I don't know what any of you are talking about.

The BestPeople(TM) have long assured me that the Michigan Man is superior in intellect, character, and physical vitality to all of his pedestrian Big Ten brethren, and on par if not exceeding the most elevated of boarding-school-going, Ivy League legacy-admits (excluding the utter embarrassment that is Cornell, with its-- horrors-- agriculture school!!), and Stanford alums.

The institution of the University of Michigan itself is beyond reproach in all aspects of its operations, the campus is the most beautiful in the nation, and the glorified bowl-sunk-into-the-ground-on-steroids is the most majestic of college football stadiums in the land (owing, of course, to its understated, tasteful simplicity), an austere, ambrosial amalgamation of gridiron godliness. A veritable Temple of Delphi in which Coach Harbaugh is the irreproachable Oracle. In fact, I'm stunned that the Big Ten requires Michigan to play road games, let alone adhere to arcane recruiting rules. The impertinence!

Michigan bestrides the Midwest, nay the globe, as a Colossus, lord of the manor deigning to drop crumbs along its periphery for the gleaning serfs eking out subsistence on the margins. It's alumni are all at least three standard deviations above-average, good-looking, of sparkling intelligence, witty, urbane, refined, having impeccable taste, brave and charismatic.

Any suggestion to the contrary is not simply boorish, and saturated in ignorance, but borders on blasphemy.

Be so chastened, my unwashed Illini brothers and sisters, as we repair to our mud hovels to await the new football season soon upon us with the livestock that inhabit our dwellings.

We are just the luckiest foul entity to be able to worship the maize & blue....

Hail to the Victor's, Oh mightiest of the universe....To thyn own self be true.......

You think that teams that win out against a soft schedule are going to suddenly be punished? I don't.

A 12 team format gives more room to schedule tough games, and the best teams won't be left out anymore, but I think the soft schedule strategy will remain viable. IMHO, 2000 was the worst when FSU and VT played for the national championship, both having soft schedules with big margins of victory. Teams that scheduled better, or had tough conferences were out of luck. That debate is a big part of why college football is interesting to follow IMO.

I think gritty means that team with 2+ losses can get in. I'm not sure I buy the doom and gloom that it's automatically worse though. I think it gives the comittee more wiggle room to consider more factors like strength of scheduling.

Just another example of scUM being scUM in a multitude of scUM examples of lying , cheating and all other metaphor's of scUM activity across the broad spectrum of scUMmy-ness.........it really really really is ............................

There is ample evidence going back to the founding of the B1G highlighting the depths of scumminess that ScUm can sink to . . .

College Football's longest tenured teams in the conferences

"Michigan joined the conference in 1896, too, but was voted out of the conference in 1907 for failing to follow rules around games played and player eligibility. They rejoined the conference, then known as the Big Nine in 1917."

Interesting that they were not one of the original teams. . .

even then only a two loss SEC team (maybe just the right Big10 or ND) will get that shot with 2 losses.

I don't think we know how they're going to handle the bubble yet.

The CFP committee has since its inception had one purpose above all others: perpetuating its own legitimacy.

We don't know what the conference politics and narratives of December 2024 will be yet, and I think the one thing we know for sure is that the committee won't wander into territory the narrative can't digest.

we don't, or maybe we do. You can count on every power 5 conference will have probably two teams. ND only has to lose 2 and they are in, 9. i'm not great at math, but

sec 3
big ten 2 or 3
pac 12 1 or 2
big 12 2
acc 1 or 2

thats 9-12?

then there's ND, any Mountain west, American undefeated, Conf. USA, Sunbelt undefeated.

i see the same arguments expanded for the last three or four teams. is a two loss Iowa/Mich. St./ole Miss/ Texas AM (illini?) team better than an undefeated Florida International or Memphis or...
i guess the key is the top four will still be the best 4.

Even more interesting is that the B1G website states that ScUM "withdrew" from the B1G in 1908, and was "invited" back in 1917. Talk about the frikken' tail wagging the dog . . .

My read is that the NCAA backed out of the deal because the penalty was "inappropriate". For anyone else, that would mean the NCAA thought the punishment too light, and was going to impose a more severe penalty.

However, this is scUM we're talking about, so my guess is that the NCAA will apologize profusely, direct that the university grant him a 10 year extension along with a 100% increase in his annual salary, and direct a statue of Harbaugh be erected at the entrance to the NCAA headquarters. 😂🤣😂

I guess I don’t understand the problem. If the NCAA thought it was inappropriate, just impose an appropriate one. Who’s in charge here? The old Cheech and Chong skit comes to mind. “Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!”

Great reference 🤣

i don't think the NCAA imposes penalties anymore, they negotiate them with the university, and the individual's lawyers. See "Bill Self"
