WHOA NAVY 46 #6 Houston 40 Final! NCAA WK 6
-
I don't know any Michigan fan that legitimately thought last year was "our year". We were in year 1 of Harbaugh vs what was supposed to be the most talented OSU team ever (that then under performed). I mean sure, I thought it would be closer. We were down to a 3rd string DT and already struggling against spread style teams (ex: Indiana). Turns out Durkin was a great DC, just not against spread style offenses like OSU.
As of now I believe we have the top defense in the country. We'll see if we can keep that up. I'm now much more interested in the Indiana vs Michigan game than I was at the start of the year.
We have a pretty outstanding defense as well in case you haven't heard. And we've already had our bye so your defense has an extra game with of stats at this point.
But like I've said Michigan does look pretty good. No doubt about that. It's good for the B1G and I don't hate Michigan quite as much as Pittsburgh so I'm OK with it, but I'm not okay with losing to them.

Here are some stats on where these teams rank defensively in the FBS:
Total Defense:
OSU 3rd
Mich. 5th
Passing defense:
Mich 3rd
OSU 5th
Rush defense:
OSU 7th
Mich 19th
Sacks:
Mich 2d
OSU 69th
but: Ohio U 1st!!!
Interceptions
OSU 4th
Mich 32nd
"Defensive Efficiency" (not sure how this stat is figured)
Mich 3rd
OSU 4th
(Alabama 1st)
Scoring defense:
Michigan 1st 10.3
Ohio St. 2d 10.8
So, yes, fair to say....they both have good defenses.

Maybe everyone will be taking a back seat to Washington this year.

Well they're trying to hang in with a tough neighborhood, SB Nation Week 7 guess:
Since the AP Poll and presumably the Coaches Poll wonโt be out until Monday afternoon this week, thanks to Georgia-South Carolina being delayed to Sunday afternoon, hereโs a guess at how the new top 25 will look after Week 6 finally finishes.

WV sucks

Well, how about if you just petition the mods....Zombo....to install an auto correct so that so that just like "Retard" any time anyone types the name Harbaugh on here that it autocorrects to "Booger".

WV sucks
My YSU Penguins played WVU early this year on a really hot day in Morgantown and was leading for a part of the first half, tied at halftime 14-14 until WVU finally put them away 38-21. 1-AA vs 1-A is generally a tough matchup.
And I was told by some West by God Virginia people it's WVU not WV.

No. Because WSU has been killing the same teams.
Bama and OSU still own the right to be called the top teams. I guess Clemson too
-
More defensive stats:
- S&P+ believes we would give up 3.7 points to the average D1 team. Clemson is 2nd at 10.3
- We're also #1 in YPP allowed, YPA allowed, RZ trips allowed and TFL.
-
Also #1 in boogers eaten on camera

Maybe those Washington Schools are better than we think. Could be. No telling at this point. They only play fellow Pac 12 teams from now on.
Washington may be the real deal....but I don't know about WSU....they lost to bother Eastern Washington and Boise st.

There should never be any point made on here beginning with "we would". Tell us what you did, not what someone thinks you would do.
S&P believes Scarlett Johansen would want to ravish my naked body......so, maybe you have a point there.

WSU is also 3-2....
But stop derailing the thread everyone. How bout that #1 team in Texas, Houston Cougars? Maybe 2-loss TCU can fill the void. And let's not forget Tessitore's proclamation that "TEXAS IS BACK FOLKS."
