You never know who's going to rear their ugly head in the Big 10.

I don't see how the AP has Mich. #20 ahead of any of the teams behind them, except maybe Texas A&M only because A&M happened to have played and lost to two top 10 teams.

What we spend is less than we make. In fact, it is so much less than we make that the entire athletic dept is funded by football, with money left for the general fund.

Mott, how long do you think Harbaugh has left? I know his fans are loyal, but spending $8 million?

The cheesy part of it.
The part of it that is more populated and mostly just farm land.

Yeah, Michigan was quite overranked to begin with, and they are still overranked. At this point in time, just BEING ranked is overranked... Let's see, they beat (but didn't dominate) a nobody, barely squeaked by (ie, should've lost to) another nobody, and got their ass completely handed to them in all aspects of the game against a quality opponent. Yeah, I'm surprised that they are still ranked at all... They aren't "bad" by any means, but they aren't even good enough to compete with the big boys of the Big10, let alone the big boys outside the Big10.
To me, it's looking like Ohio State and Wisconsin (once again) fighting for the Big 10 Championship. Those two seem to be in their own tier in the Big10 this year.

True, but they've completely dominated all of their nobodys, and they'll get tested soon enough.
Michigan State is always a fairly decent team, and Northwestern always gets a bit overlooked. Then, Wisconsin will be their first "top 10" caliber test...

Tennessee's imploding
Hard to believe they were once a power.

Just curious. I have family in the Ripon area. Charming little village with nice folks.

Meh...no they haven't but when their average score against mid majors is 57 points and average points allowed in defense is 9 points...it's a pretty good indicator that they are a very good team.

You mean imploded don't you? They have been relevant in almost 20 years.

I'm sure it is. I've never been, but I've been in some of the surrounding areas when I've gone out on day hikes.
I'm more in the Madison area myself, but far enough outside of the city and suburbs.

I heard that tickets have gotten so cheap that for $75 you can stand on the sidelines with the coaches and even call two plays.
Just don't speed in Knoxville TN. If you get pulled over they give you two tickets. To the next home game.
