    4 other undefeateds is only a problem if there are 5 undefeateds. It is possible, but it has also never happened. Heck, I don't think there's been a playoff quartet with 0 losses among them going into the playoffs nor have there been 4 undefeated teams heading into bowl season (rolling in the non power 5 conferences) since the advent of the playoffs. This year there are 4. It is guaranteed to go down to 3 (UoM at OSU). So now there's going to be the debate over which "imperfect" team(s) gets into the playoffs, as there always is. Just looking at OSU & UoM, I know which schedule has a better chance at the playoffs as a 1 loss team as opposed to the other team if it had 1 loss.

    Plus those physical tickets can turn into keepsakes for people.

    Those are good matchups. Honestly, as a fan, aren't you more interested in seeing those games rather than vs Hawaii? Aren't those types of matchups more appropriate as a measuring stick for what Michigan thinks it is? The unfortunate thing with Texas & Oklahoma as future opponents is that they could end up being scrapped out of necessity due to the realignment of the B10 and SEC. Ohio State has both Texas & Oklahoma as future opponents, too, so I've had that in the back of my mind given the shifting that has been announced.

    That's a cool story.

    66-96. Break it up into smithereens.

    Detroit Pistons vs New York Knicks

    The fact that they chanced losing him….. and didn’t.

    Loss.

    So even if he’s just another Castro, that’s still good for us. It’s someone that we will complain about, but at least it’s someone new to complain about. That little bit of a change, the honeymoon phase at first, that will take a bit of the anguish off for a period of time.

    Division I needs to stop scheduling these games against division II schools. OSU has Youngstown State on the docket next year. An utter and complete joke.

    60 over a junk school is probably the same as 40. At some point, there are diminishing returns. 60 over a junk team vs 20 over a mid tier team? Look, I just don’t see what’s so impressive about beating down inferior talent. It does nothing for me. Why hide and duck and dive from quality opposition if you think you’re a playoff team? The Big Ten schedule isn’t such a tough gauntlet that scheduling (and keeping said scheduled game) UCLA or Oregon or Notre Dame or someone of that ilk should be out of the question. Let’s call it what it is. That Michigan out of conference this season and next is simply embarrassing and gutless.

    So, OK, so a win over a bottom of the barrel Hawaii carries the same weight as a win over a middle of the conference Minnesota, score being equal, place of game being equal, teams at full strength, etc? Come on, you really don't believe this, do you?

    Its officially a rebuild.

    I don't know that that is necessarily true. Their only loss was to Notre Dame (still can't square up their loss to Marshall and then beating Clemson & UNC). They would be a power 5 champion. They have a QB that is getting some notoriety. They have a highly respected/regarded head coach on the back 9 of his career. There is no objective way to fill the 4 playoff spots. They may decide the conference championship is more valuable this year than what Tennessee did. I think that can be debated, and I might not agree with it. But the committee is going to do what the committee is going to do.

    Yes, beating Arizona, Texas Tech, and Minnesota would show more than beating Colorado State, Hawaii, and Connecticut.

    I kind of hope Philly gets into a bench clearing brawl whilst wearing those jerseys. How many damn jerseys are needed? George Blaha mentioned at the beginning of last night's game that it looked odd for Detroit to be wearing the traditional road blue jersey as the road team and for Boston to be wearing the traditional home white jersey as the home team.

    OMG!!! VERLANDER OPTED OUT!!!! HE'S COMING BACK!!!

    I can see the fullish moon in the sky still. Are we sure the moon isn't a big baseball with white stitching?

    The irony with LSU would be that they were the first and only 2 loss team to be involved in the BcS championship. But, recalling my hatred for Brian Kelly, I would prefer Brian Kelly crawled up some rickety scaffolding in 50+ MPH winds and, oh, never mind. As far as 2 & 3 go, it'll be fun to see how things play out. How about this, is North Carolina out of it? Their schedule is junk, but if they beat Clemson in the ACC championship, if TCU loses twice, does the committee take Georgia (should they win out), the B10 champion (should they win out), UNC, and a one loss PAC championship game winner?

    Should strength of schedule become a determining factor to break ties, do you really think Colorado State, Hawaii, and UConn are advantageous bullet points on a resume?

    Bellarmine won the Atlantic Sun postseason tournament last season, but was ineligible for the NCAA tournament. As part of its transition from Division II to Division I (last season being its 2nd in D-I), it is ineligible for the NCAA tourney for 2 more seasons. What a load of crap. They've gone 10-3 (2nd) and 11-5 (3rd) in its two seasons in the A-Sun and they're ineligible for the field of 68? That's the quintessential traveshamockery.

    Fugly.

    I'd want someone that can handle 1B but also other IF positions. Probably moreso the latter than the former. Because if Torkelson makes the team, Cabrera hangs on, and Meadows rebounds, there's not a lot of opportunities for a lefty hitting 1B.
