Future for UM

[NDOM]

Utah. Win
Miami (Ohio) Win
@Notre Dame ??? Toss up??? Lets just say loss for gigles.
Wisconsin Win
Illinois Loss
Toledo Win
@Penn State Toss up but I say Win
Michigan State Win
@Purdue Win
@Minnesota Win
Northwestern Win
@Ohio State Loss

Thats 10-2 according to my calculations with maybe another loss. There's NO WAY Michigan will go 6-6 or 5-7 like alot of you think. They have too many great athletes that Rich Rod will utilize. So my prediction is 10-2 or 9-3 maybe as low as 8-4 but thats as bad as they will be. As much as it would make my year to see Michigan lose alot; It's just not going to happen.

Just remember the athletes that go to UM are far better than WVU imo, 2 or 3 deep. DickRod will find a way to win. I just hope we can pull out a V this next year.

He has more 4 star recruits this year than during his entire tenure at W Va. M's weaknesses will be inexperience on offensive line and QB. Defense should be OK, lots of speed in the offensive backfield. I guess 8 or 9 wins.

I honestly think next season is going to be super rough. Not only do they loose all their best players, but now they have to play with guys who have no college experience and trying to run a new offense; sound familiar? Here's what I think:

Utah. Loss
Miami (Ohio) Win
@Notre Dame Loss
Wisconsin Loss
Illinois Loss
Toledo Win
@Penn State Loss
Michigan State Win
@Purdue Loss
@Minnesota Win
Northwestern Win
@Ohio State Loss

5-7

Maybe transpose one of those win/loss toss up games.

As a Buckeye fan, I'll never predict a scUM win against us, but I am very apprehensive about the game this year. I'll call the Ohio State game a toss up as well just because of the nature of the rivalry. The 1969 game stands out.

I'm going to say 7-5.

If OSU loses to UM I really think that Tressels job will be in jeopardy. That would be a shame, because I believe he is the best coach in College football, but they will be loaded next year and should destroy UM. I don't understand why he hears the heat now... He has taken a very very good program to an elite program. It's almost like he is a victim of his own sucess

 

[goldandblue]

Guess that's what happens when you can't win that "big" game. You can make it there a ten times but if you don't win it, you get forgotten.

 

[Epitome]

They have won it

 

[goldandblue]

true but losing two years in a row, sucks. I'm not arguing the fact that they are an elite program, they are very good Tressel as well. Just the way college football is, you would think that making it to the championship game would be enough to satisfy anyone but It's not.

I think its really eerie how similar Tressel's regime is to Bob Stoops' at OU. NC in the 2nd year, and two consecutive NC losses a few years later. Remember Stoops used to be a Big Game coach as well. Now after 5 BCS losses in 4 years, everybody says he can't coach. JT is halfway there.

I really hope we don't end up like OU though.

No way. As much as I hate to say it, I think Jim Tressel is an awesome coach and person. He's pure class from what I have seen and heard about him. He coaches his ass off. He's not going to turn out like Stoops. He's better than that.

They were also supposed to be rebuilding last season. That's a hell of a achievement for them to be as good as they were. This year they should be real good. I wouldn't look at losing in the national championship game as a disappointment.
