I will continue to brag about Michigan beating Florida because it was a big win.....you are the one using one-sided logic by saying it was #2 vs #5. whats your explanation for Tenn the #2 SEC playing Wisco the #5..I bet you would not consider the Vols the #2 SEC team, would you, but if you went solely by the standings like you are doing to somehow chop down UM's win, then you have to call Tenn #2.
I actually explained in my post why UM was not the #2 team in the big 10. You know, using the same eyes that we all use to properly guage and handicap teams.
If you go by the BCS rankings---which perhaps we should because that is the only way UGA becomes the #2 SEC team and gets a Sugar Bowl bid--you will see that florida is the #3 sec team, ranked 11 the in the nation, ahead of Illinois and Wisco.....UM is not even in the top 25, and if you extrapolated that out, I am sure you would find PSU ahead of the Wolverines too...so to sum, Florida, lost to a big team that was ranked behind Wisco and Illinois and not in the bcs top 25 and, as this long time UM observer has said time and time again, was the worst maize and blue team I have seen.....well, maybe 1984 team could give it a run.
I do not think the big 10 is as good as the SEC, but I do know that UM could play in the SEC every bit as well as your Dawgs do.....their 5-1 bowl record in the SEC the last 10 years proves that, and beating the gayturds this year during an awful season proves something as well. Remember, the UM we have been seeing the last couple of years is down a bit and not as good as it had been from say 1988-2003.
