Thanks chariots. Some tough match-ups, especially Minny-Auburn, Michigan-Alabama and Iowa-USC.
No program needs a big win more than Michigan.. Need to live up to the 100 year history.. plenty of talent.. school and alums have a great belief in in their ELITE status.. it is not bragging if you can back it up.. they have not.. time for UM to represent

I think Iowa will have its hands full against SC in San Diego. Illini are likely to be beaten badly by Cal. I think PSU and Indiana are the two best bets for B1G wins, and as much as I dislike OSU, the Clemson matchup should be a great game. Oregon Wisconsin should also be a very interesting game.
As many as seven Alabama players expected to be high draft picks may decide to not risk injury, and bail.
This.
And how does Penn St end up with Memphis? I like those plucky AAC schools, but that is not a good match.
Citrus and Outback Bowls could get very ugly, unless some Alabama and Auburn players decide to sit them out to avoid injuries before the NFL draft.
Ohio State being in the playoff this year plus Alabama being out has helped lead to a couple of bad matches for the B1G. Hard to see how a Michigan team manhandled by Wisconsin and the Buckeyes will stay with Alabama, but I suppose it's possible if enough Alabama players sit out. Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown had better not try any of his crazy blitz sets where he ends up with a safety one-on-one with a wideout or slot receiver against Alabama. He did that a couple of times against Penn State, and Hamler burned them twice and cost Michigan the game. Bama has some big speed at wideout.
Brown knows no other way to play except balls to the wall. Serves him well against teams with less talent, but he gets burned by athletic teams.
Don't mean to jump on you, NC, but oh how I hate that saying. It's completely backwards. It's ONLY bragging if you can back it up. Otherwise it's lying.
Michigan will be okay if Harbaugh can get his guys to show up. The current Michigan team is nothing like the one that got killed by Wisky in Sept, and OSU would have manhandled Bama this year as well.
Agreed. The Michigan faithful in my office are already crying into their maize and blue.
Sure hope our B1G Indiana brethren don't suffer too many loons from the Tennessee boards.
