Michigan to the ACC?

Plus if you have enough of them it gives someone like Rutgers a chance to have not beaten anyone better than Virginia Tech but still be able to say "hey, we've won six games so far, we must be pretty good!"

Just an honest question Joe, have you watched 5 minutes of Rutgers this season?
They are way better than the Butgers years. As you stated they beat Tech, Pitt didn’t.
As a GT graduate we would be considered a 500 team most years, we had good teams during the Ross tenure. Still managed to beat good teams on occasion. Everyone has teams that have losing seasons.

If the B10 somehow costs them a CFP bid.... and I dont know how they could do that, because even if they barr them from the B10CG, they would still get a CFP bid at 12-0.....if I were Michigan, I'd tell the B10, "do that and we're going to the SEC" and be deadly serious. Why does Michigan need the B10? Its mostly JUCO rapist schools. Now they have to go halfway to China to play. I'd be dead serious about leaving for the SEC.

Path to 12-0 wouldn’t be so easy

Nit fans, as a group, are deniers and wouldn’t “get it”. Heck, some of them thought that they were the victims.

They still do!

F the ass rapists. Even their whining to the conference to beg and plead to get Michigan in some trouble (for something everyone does and always has done) didn’t work.

But the B1G is a gauntlet week after week!

Anyone think Buttgers beats Iowa today?

I watch a little bit of a lot of games, so I've seen bits and pieces of Rutgers, but nothing more than that.

Rutgers has not beaten a top 50 team all season. And even saying top 50 might be overselling it. They are hanging their hats on the fact that they "only" lost to the two good teams they've played (and they are both really good) by three scores. They also lost to an average Wisconsin team.

If you want to argue that they aren't typical Rutgers bad, then sure, yeah, they aren't like the 100th best team in the country, which they certainly have been at times in the past. But they are also not a top 50 or 60 team either. And the only reason anyone thinks that they are is because they've beaten a lot of really bad teams this season. Including, for that matter, Virginia Tech.

And yeah, Virginia Tech IS better than us. Let's hope that's not someone's idea of qualifying as a good team.

I know Board of Regents don’t have the power they used to, but the fact that there’s legs to this is pretty interesting.

SI: University of Michigan board considers leaving Big Ten

Well yeah I meant that they are better than the last decade of football. The are a lot like Pitt, pretty decent on defense but lack offensive punch against good teams. Today proves that, Iowa defense is shutting them out
