The defense? well, it can't really get worse can it? This all makes for a tough decision for the Michigan A.D. on whether to retain Rich Rod. Assuming UM loses to OSU this saturday (19.5 pt underdog), and loses its bowl game the final record will be 7-6. Certainly not great, but probably within 1 win of most predictions. I'd probably keep Rich Rod and make 2011 a definite make or break year. If Michigan had even just a bad defense instead of a dreadful defense this year they would probably be 9-2 right now. I still have never seen such a discrepancy between a team's offense and defense. But hopefully we learn a lesson from Notre Dame on how NOT to handle coaching changes...and on how to avoid the front butt:
Since we cant post stories, I figured this would be a good spot for this on Ohio State's president.

Now I want a Boise-Ohio State matchup.
Ouch...pretty harsh. Little Sisters of the Poor? wow. Although I wouldn't expect any less from Ohio State, he does have a point. What the computers, polls, and strength of schedule calculations can't account for is the week-in and week-out rivalry games and the intensity that comes with them that Boise St. and TCU simply don't have to deal with. To the rest of the country, a game like Wisconsin-Minnesota seems pretty bland, but these teams hate eachother. There's no way to quantify that.
