I think OSU wins by 30+. The tears will be glorious.

Is there a line posted yet? OSU has to be at least 17 point favorites

 

[bcole2]

DK has it as 8 currently

That seems like free money

 

[dad4aa]

Not sure if I want OSU to blow out Michigan or keep it close so Michigan has hope and ends up heartbroken.

Blow them out by 50+

 

[Valpodoc85]

Remember last year Day said he was going to hang a hundred on Harbaugh. We'll see next weekend. OSU will be coming in hot.

 

[Wild Bill]

-7.5 on draftkings. I assumed it would be double digits.

Michigan may make it interesting if they can run the ball and get pressure with their front four.

They are a good running team and their ends have been effective all year. They play hard too.

I could see this being closer than we think and Michigan getting their heart ripped out at home but I can also see OSU running wild. I'll tune in to watch

 

[rtrn2glory]

simply means sounds like it'll be a tight game until the fourth quarter with OSU pulling away late making it ugly......I'll take Ohio St. 45-24

 

[phork]

bLaMe tHe ReFs, I can see it already.

 

[ACamp1900]

If there was ever a game where both fan bases deserve to lose in heartbreaking fashion... this is it. I guess I'm rooting for scUM because I can see them blowing it in the conference title game more than tOSU, but that's super-low energy. Whoever wins needs to drop the title game.

My two favorite teams are ND and whoever is playing pOSU.

For me it's ND and whoever is playing scUM, but living here is the sole reason for that. They're an insufferable fan base and I hate them enough to actively cheer for pOSU for three hours every fall.

 

[Riddickulous]

This is the best Michigan team in 3-5 years but that OSU offense is absurd. Hard to see them being able to keep pace for a full 4 quarters.

IDK even know that scUM is even all that good honestly... I guess it is the best team they've had in years but of ALL the teams in the playoff hunt currently, I think they are prob the worst one.

 

[NDPhilly]

All the advanced metrics have had this Michigan team as ~4th best team all season. Think that speaks more to the fall off in quality after UGA / Bama / & OSU than anything.

As much as it pains me to say, they are above the usual garbage Michigan team. My prayer is they get absolutely embarrassed on national TV but I think their defense is legit and their offense is well-rounded. Hate their QB for how he handled his recruitment so I wouldn't mind seeing him writhing in pain after tOSU's 9th sack.

I think Michigan looks good against very poor competition, their one marquee loss is MSU who got trounced by a good team.

 

[phork]

Nothing theyve done has impressed me. MSU ran all over them and because of Franklins stupidity they got a free pass in Happy Valley. OSU is an 8 point favorite and might even be double digits by the time game time rolls around, and they are on the road...

 

[NDdomer2]

i just have this weird feeling that we end up seeing them in a bowl game

 

[tko]

Harbaugh can't hold Day's jock, sadly. OSU by 40.

 

[Trait Expectations]

I have a strange feeling as well about this. It's about the only year I wouldn't want to play them (you know, other than every other single year). The reason being I think they could cause problems for our OL and they are well rounded enough to score.

Since MSU was completely dismantled last week, I’m pretty sure that UM is ticketed for the Rose Bowl after they lose to OSU and the Buckeyes beat Wisconsin in the CCG.

This. They are obligated to take the top ranked Big Ten team in CFP and top ranked PAC12 team. I think they will spank Oregon (bad style matchup for Oregon) but could lose to Utah.

They aren't obligated to. For instance if MSU was ranked higher than UM, assuming OSU goes to CFP, they would take Michigan based on MSU having been the most recent of the 2 to go.

Seeing the typical chatter (not here) that ND's SOS is trash. Let's do a blind comparison with Michigan so far this season using ESPN FPI. Opponents sorted by FPI rank, not week played.

Team A	11	14	24	28	53	74	80	82	83	91	99
Team B	8	11	32	38	44	51	52	57	60	79	105

Team A average opponent FPI to date: 58
Team B average opponent FPI to date: 49

Based on current FPI rankings, this closes to an average of 53 and 52, respectively, after Team A loses on Saturday to FPI #2.

TL;DR Fuck Michigan and the BIG is just as garbage tier as ND's schedule.

 

[viking]

so you are saying that after today Michigan went 4-1 against top 30 teams and ND went -1

Hey, how'd you lose to a Michigan State team that lost by 50 to tOSU? They lost to Purdue too, which we handled fine. Also for reference:

My now deceased best friend for whom I served as best man in his wedding wasND undergrad and Michigan Law. I decline to hate Michigan especially when i am saddled with domestic traitor Dunderhead Swarbrick.

Decling to hate and honoring your friend are admirable things to do.

But that's not what you did here.

Your homage to Michigan was out of any justifiable context, unnecessary, delibrately designed to provoke and done at an especially sensitive moment.

That's a classic troll post.

Then you tried to cover with a false better-than-tho and misusing an honorable memory.

The problem with your post is not Michigan.
