Michigan was rated higher last year than LSU is this year

Nine times out of ten, that's usually the case so nothing new there.

Try saving yourself some face, and quick.

OSU was light years better than that Michigan team last year. You just made one horrible comparison.

I do think Ohio State was somewhat better than Michigan last year when the whole season is taken into account. But "light years?"

Michigan lost at home to Ohio State by 14-3. But the Wolverines also beat Illinois by 10 on the road while Ohio State lost to the Illini by 7. And, yes, Ohio State did pummell Wisconsin at home while Michigan lost to the Badgers on the road.

Whatever. The fact remains that Michigan beat Florida in spite of being at a -4 disadvantage in turnover margin. That is awfully tough to do in cases where the two teams are close to evenly matched physically.

You know that's true.

And think about what I was saying. LSU was +2 in that stat against Ohio State. -4 is a long way from that. It's a difference of 6.

It's not unreasonable at all to say that LSU at -4 would've had a whole lot harder time beating Ohio State than LSU at +2 would have.

will LSU win in a blow out or will App keep it respectable?.

LSU will win in a blowout Then most of you happy-appys will disappear from this board. But some will stay because this is just a great site.

Here's to an injury-free game. But you won't enjoy watching it.

Does USC have a site?

Here is the USC site:

App. State > Stanford...

Stanford >>> App. State

yeah ok if it makes you feel better...

That was also the hardest and most effort they played with all year last year. That was a statement game for them and their outgoing coach, and they only one by one possession against the 5th ranked SEC team. 2nd ranked in one conference barely beating the 5th in the best they played all year, yep they were pretty average last year.

No need to exagerrate. Florida was fourth in the SEC, and Michigan was third in the Big Ten going into the bowls. The SEC also has 1 more team than the Big Ten. Like someone said before, give credit where credit is due. Michigan knocked Florida into fifth place in the SEC on their way to earning second place in the Big Ten, although the coaches poll still made Michigan the third highest rated Big Ten team.
