Re: College Football 2017-18: Now with more CTE!

My playoff:

Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, and Stanford.

Alabama National Title winner.

Interested to see Iowa tomorrow. Solid on both lines of scrimmage, unknown at QB, young talent at WR and DB. 8-4 is my prediction.

Excited to be back at Kinnick Stadium tomorrow.

Rutgers hanging in there with Washington and Lane Kiffin's squad making a lot of errors against Navy.

I figured Wisconsin would turn this around, but I figured it would take more than 6 minutes of game time.

All the Michigan fans I know are saying this is The Year.

Beat Ohio State and we'll talk.

Lose a dozen guys to the NFL draft including almost the entire defense and it's "the year"?

They don't recruit like Alabama or Ohio State, so I heavily doubt that

Harbaugh was a bit underwhelming with the talent he had the last two seasons, and it's not getting any easier this year. Tough schedule and young core. 9-3 would be a great season for them, to be honest.

To be fair, they've been saying this is The Year for the past few years.

They recruit like Bama and OSU, just haven't for 4+ years like those other two schools have recently.

Wisconsin bounced back nicely, but they were terrible for 24 minutes of that game.

This. They play Florida at a "neutral" venue today, then still have to play @ Penn State and @ Wisconsin. They at least get Ohio State at home, but those will be 4 very difficult games. TBF, I don't follow Michigan closely at all, so I could very well be missing something, but I would have to think that 9-3 would be a pretty good season for Michigan.

17 pts vs Buffalo doesn't give me a lot of confidence for this season. But a win is a win.

Well, they should be able to go 3-0 in non-conference to start. Maryland and Purdue are not expected to do much, so a 5-0 start should bump up the Gophers' confidence plenty in the next few weeks. If they get by Michigan State at home, Illinois should be no problem. That would be 7-0. Now, they'll probably lose the last 5, but hey...7-5 will get them in the Epson Starfruit Bowl against West Virginia.

Florida has 10 guys suspended for today's game, including their top receiver and top running back. Plus they've got massive issues at QB. I think 9-3 is probably spot-on for Michigan this year.

Watching UM vs. UF. Waiting for the announcers to say that this guy "made the tackle by Chance"

Florida might put up more points than yards of total offense.
