University of MI tops Ohio State in annual blood drive
It looked like he was pushed back, but we all know forward progress is a real thing in football – and with forward progress, it looked like he got there. He’s good on the attack, but he tends to over pursue at times and takes some weird angles.
With a great Penn State offense and a tough Wisconsin defense, picking a line on this game could be tough.
Undefeated Alabama, who plays Florida in the SEC Championship, and Clemson, who faces Virginia Tech for the ACC title, are both prohibitive favorites. “Either the committee leaves Ohio State out – which seems so improbable as to be barely worth mentioning – or it puts two Big Ten teams in, leaving out two champions of other Power Five conferences, or it puts Ohio State in ahead of the Big Ten champion”. Not as badly as he did against Penn State, but it was to the point Barrett couldn’t even roll out to his right on Saturday or he would run right into a defender. “The ground was shaking all game and it was very impressive how they pulled off the win. By that much”, he said, holding up a measurement with his hands.
“While the Big Ten can fine him all they want, let’s turn the tables and show support for our MI family”, the fan blog said on its donation page. If there’s one consistent factor in the playoff committee era, it has been the committee looking at the number of games against teams in their ranking and how you fared against them. All but one of our voting panel placed them either 3 or 4 this week.
Head to Head: Michigan’s wins were not just Top 10 wins.
The Ohio State Buckeyes have won five games in a row, including five straight over MI, to close out the season with an 11-1 record.
Jim Harbaugh has been punished. The Broncos gain four spots to No. 14, their highest ranking of the season, after a huge win against Toledo clinched their place in the Mid-American Conference title game. “We also consider this matter concluded and will have no further comment”. Well, the first part is complete. Wisconsin? We expected that fairly well, but we didn’t think they’d be preparing to play Penn State.
Per a release, the league determined that Harbaugh’s comments after the loss violated “Big Ten Conference Agreement 10.01”.
Ohio State made a powerful argument for its own playoff hopes this past weekend, having defeated archrival MI for the 11th time in 12 meetings.
No. 2 Ohio State beat No. 3 MI 30-27 in Saturday’s game. Regardless if it’s Oklahoma or Oklahoma State, it will be a top 10 team with only two losses.
While Week 13 in the Big 12 had no important matchups from a national perspective, there was some major news out of the conference. Houston completely removed itself from contention by losing to Memphis.
Where did ten wins come from?
Ohio State scored the winning touchdown on the next play. Suspensions on top of that only appear to enter when there is an interaction with an official, such as Maryland men’s soccer coach Sasho Cirovski, who was suspended one game in October 2014.
The other issue for the committee is whether MI belongs among the top four, despite having two losses. As with Oklahoma though, there may be more help required.
Will they be in the playoffs? Expect them to open up very highly ranked to begin the 2017 season, for what very little that is actually worth. A MI team ranked No. 3 in the nation. Ohio State passes it’s final regular season test. The victor will claim the Big 12 title and could potentially have a shot at the playoff with some help elsewhere. Rather, it is charged with putting the four best teams in the playoff.
