Not sure why it’s such a big deal that Ohio States bringing back so many players. None of them have beaten Michigan once.

[@gridirongodsnetwork]

Michigan made it to the playoff two seasons in a row, and came up short both times prior to the key 2023 players deciding to come back and pursue a National Championship. That's a pretty big difference between the culture and momentum of Michigan and Ohio State. I'm convinced 'The Game' will come down to Wink vs. Chip. Looking at both men's NFL resume has us very confident here in Ann Arbor... Advantage Michigan.

UM has Earnest Housmann and Barhnam, they are being said in work outs right now Aug 10 to be the best LB seen as a tandem at UM . Put it bluntly. They are simply loaded again. And that's not an exaggeration . They return with even more talent on that defense.

[@douginorlando6260]

What happens when we beat Texas? Joel will put Michigan ahead of Ohio state. You heard it here first, I’m calling it

[@billbradley5665]

Oregon is the key game for both OSU and Michigan. Michigan will have to beat Texas, USC and Washington, and will still be ranked below OSU. Hopefully, Michigan will be on a winning streak after playing Washington. Unless OSU slips up. If OSU loses to Oregon, It won't matter if Michigan wins or loses to Oregon, they will be rated above OSU. The media always plays favorites to OSU. I still believe OSU is just a paper tiger.

[@drewblue1164]

It’s stunning how many years in the preseason Notre Dame is massively overrated. For many recent years they play a cupcake schedule that’s supposed to look tough. Whenever they play a real team outside of South Bend they lose. They are easily the most preseason overrated team over the last 15 years besides Texas. Show me, show me, show me, against real teams!

[@Dmob17]

I’m sure the stats are out there somewhere but it seems like ND generally has a winning record against teams ranked lower than them and a losing record against teams ranked higher. Obviously there’s some exceptions in there but my point being it seems like They’re usually ranked pretty accurately. I’ll try to dig up some stats on that otherwise it doesn’t mean much for me to just say it.

[@mbd501]

On paper, our team looks like our best team in quite some time. That's assuming Riley Leonard plays like we're hoping. Our defense was a top 5 defense last year, and most of it returned.

[@drewblue1164]

@@Dmob17 they get a lot of wins each year with their cupcake schedule and for many years Stanford and USC have been garbage (until recently with Riley). Their ACC schedule is mostly garbage. Service academy games are usually auto wins for upper level Power Five. They managed to get about 9 or 10 wins many years but again any time they play a real team outside of South Bend they lose and not just teams ranked higher than them. If ND was in the Big Ten East for the last 10 years, they would have never made the playoffs. Never. Overrated. Still top 25 team but usually doesn’t belong in the top 10.

[@Dmob17]

@@drewblue1164 outside of An all time great Alabama team in the NCAA championship, Georgia, Clemson (with Trevor Lawrence), and Ohio State, ND pretty much handles their business against everyone else. I agree that they’re not in that elite top 3 or 4 programs list, but they’re not ranked as such. You’d have a hard time showing me 10 better programs over the past decade than ND. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype. My guess is unless you’re one of the aforementioned teams I listed, you wouldn’t be thrilled to see ND on your schedule, especially as an away game. And that’s because they find ways to win. every. Single. Year. Don’t get me wrong. ND isn’t winning a natty this year, but I could realistically see them getting a playoff win this year. I could also see them going 9-3 and missing the playoffs completely. Hard to say.

[@drewblue1164]

@@Dmob17 In the last 10 seasons, not including the Covid season which wasn’t a real full season with fans in the stands for true road games, ND finished above their preseason ranking in only 2 of those years. ND is consistently overrated and the HC hasn’t proven he can do anything yet besides recruit.
