forget auburn or georgia. south carolina the type of team that can lose at vandy, or at florida, or at clemson, or fukk up one of their home games. team is annually overrated. they were in dogfights last year against all kinds of ass teams
South Carolina with shaw, clowney was 11-2 last year. Lost two road games and only won one road game by more than 6 points.
There will be a dropoff
kentucky and florida had them on the ropes, and while not a bad team by any means, ucf had them up against it
Thats basically the....not so optimistic version of what i said. They can win in ohio...that buckeye team last year went to the wire with what will prove to be a MUCH less talented michigan team than this year, and a much MORE talented osu team than this year.im figuring they go 8-4. lose @osu, lose @msu, lose 1 of the 2 between @nw and @nd, and fukk up some other game
Alright, so real...neutral as possible michigan expectations:
Appalacian state - W, if they lose i will literally never post here again.
@ND - W, ND got some shyt going on, qb questions, and michigan's secondary is WELL improved and will prey on that
Miami of OH - W
Utah - its at MI but i gotta say tossup...its a shame but they beat stanford yesterday and it reeks of trap game
Minnesota - W (shootout)
@rutgers - W
penn state - Tossup but first year coach that will be still feeling recruiting impact....lowercase w
@MSU - L, i cant see them winning this unless the OL is WAY improved.
Indiana - W
@northwestern - W, idk what they lost from last year but northwestern doesnt maintain success year to year. This could be a tossup though depending on health.
Maryland - W
@osu - W, they will have problems all year that wont be resolved.
1 loss, but it could be 2-3 if the penn state and utah games go awry
3 straight seasons in the top 10. finished higher than their preseason ranking 4 straight years. 12-3 vs teams that finished in the top 25 the past 3 seasons. you were right about the possibility of losing to an unranked team because its happened 3 out of the past 4 years. if you had simply said sc doesnt win impressively a lot or that they play down to their competition that would be accurate. saying theyre overrated is some unsubstantiated bs id expect from ed to try and make himself forget that michigan sucks. sc last year had a bad 4th quarter against kentucky in a game that they led 27-7 going into the 4th, still kentucky never had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead. how are you on the ropes when the other team never has the ball with a chance to take the lead?team is annually overrated.
So much disrespect for Steven Orr Spurrier and the Gamecocks in this thread.
Spring time, everyone was like about their teams
Summer/Fall camps roll around and have been filled with injuries and suspensions and now it's like
Braxton Miller just announced that he will redshirt and then return to OSU to play in 2015. This actually could work out in the Buckeyes favor because OSU is young this year and brings almost everyone back in 2015. Throw Braxton on next year's team which will be all Urban's recruits and they have national championship potential.
