What are all your thoughts - do you think they should make the playoff? 11-2, BT Champ, Ohio State win; I hope they make it, good story, plus we always see OSU, nice to see a change for once and PSU is a likeable team. I really love McSorley, gutsy QB, reminds me of a poor man's Johnny Manziel, but I think his game and obviously his attitude translate better to the NFL.
No class.
No class.
and I think that energy drives them.
the fact that they do in on their sideline......I do not see it as no class.
More young excitement
If they both had one loss, it would be a sham if Penn St didn't get in.
College football is fun to watch, but the desperate attempt to keep conference championships, bowl games and a playoff is ludicrous. If you want all of them, you need a playoff that involves only conference champions and removes people sitting in a room picking the best teams based on style points.
Also, WTF happened to Wisconsin last night.

4th best team in the conference. Only made it because of technicality.

The top 4 will stay as is. For the playoff group to change Clemson or Washington would have to lose.

They desperately need to rebalance the divisions. You can't have Michigan, OSU, MSU and PSU in one division vs. Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska in another.

They're trash? As expected.
Penn State did beat Ohio state by 3 points, outscoring them 17-0 in the final quarter.....but they lost to Pittsburgh and then were crushed by Michigan, who lost to Ohio State....
If PS didn't lose to Pitt, then they would be a no brainer pick over Ohio State, but they didn't....
8 teams, then the committee determines seeding.

Wisconsin has exceeded expectations given their schedule and no established QB. And that was before they lost both starting ILBs and placekicker.
Compare the 3 and 4 (and 5 star) recruits by OSU, UM, PSU and even MSU.
Wisconsin lives by getting lesser prospects (including walk-ons) and developing them and coaching them up. This appears to work best with linemen. Because of their success with OLs, that has attracted RBs.
This seems to works less well with WRs, DBs, and even QBs, where certain tangibles (of the kind that are often apparent already in HS, hence the rankings) are often requirements.
They recognize that, which is why for quite a while they have been recruiting FL and various parts in the south. They have made some inroads and if the quality of the BIG10 continues to improve hopefully they will have better success.
Until then, their ceiling is limited. Nonetheless character and coaching has taken them pretty far and I am proud to be a Badger fan.

Very spot on. I am very proud to root for this team.
I would respect McSorely way more if he would cut out the bullshit celebrations. I hope USC crushes them.

Wtf are you talking about now.
Super stoked for Michigan to be irrelevant again next year so all the wannabe Michigan fuckboys will go back into their caves.

They do not deserve a football team. The program should have been given the death penalty.

Michigan's offense is going to be much better next year, as long as Peters or McCaffrey have the ball.
Yup, Chris. Incredibly insensitive comment and perspective. But it's the nature of things these days. Our President-elect is an admitted sex offender, but that's OK.
