Bowl Projections by Jerry Palm

[Yes]

Michigan will most likely lose to Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Ohio State. And considering they completely implode every year come time to play the Big Ten schedule, they also have a good chance of losing to Michigan State and Northwestern.

I hope Michigan doesnt lose to all of those teams, it would make that game even more painful to know we lost to a team that finished like crap. I hope they do make the Fiesta Bowl or something like that.

If scUM falls into another midseason swoon, the hit our SoS and pride will take is nothing compared to the pain of watching scUM sign a top 5 recruiting class, and then having to play against those kids for the next 4-5 years.

I don't give a **** how it makes us look when they get smashed. Michigan going to a BCS bowl would be terrible.
1) They aren't good enough
2) It would hurt our recruiting tremendously!

Michigan is a ONE man team. Go look at the stats from this past weekend. It was the Denard show. NOBODY else on that team is really contributing on offense.

Look at how they have scrapped the offense and just letting Denard run wild.

Didn't he throw for under 50% and 2 pics against SDSU?

If you look at the first Michigan game, you'll see Hoke tried to run his offense he brought from San Diego State. He tried to do the same thing in the game against us. When he realized it was useless with ol' Denard Robinson at quarterback, he did exactly what you said and let Denard run wild for the second half. He's been doing the same thing for their two most recent games.

The Big Ten is ready for this, just look at the last two years. Michigan will never truly be a contender with Robinson at quarterback. You can't just have some glorified track-star who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in at QB. Sure he'll make some big plays and win some close games, but it'll never, ever, work long-term.

I respectfully disagree. Michigan had the nation's 3rd ranked offense in 2010. If they'd been able to muster even an average defense last year, they would probably have been in the BCS. Offense hasn't been their problem recently.

Don't be surprised if UM challenges for their division. The Big10 is absolutely god awful this year. Wisconsin is the only BCS quality team this year. UM could very well be 8-0 going into the Iowa game. Taylor Martinez is garbage, he makes Denard look like Tom Brady.

There must be something terribly wrong with Gardner, because he was supposed to be a better passer and just as quick as Denard. IMO I would have Denard out in the slot and Gardner at QB.

Just wait until Michigan starts their Big 10 schedule and fall like they usually do. Notre Dame still has a chance to redeem this season! We should be Purdue, Air Force makes me nervous because of the option attack, if we can get through those games to USC we may get back to the rankings.
