    Michigan in the BCS? WTF?
    ESPN is projecting Michigan for the Sugar. Never even occurred to me....even with their strong traveling crowds...that they'd be a BCS team. Michigan is the third highest BCS ranked team in the B10. God forbid a deserving team get it.

    Just another example of why bowl games outside of the NCG are a joke and are strictly for gambling purposes only.

    They've been projected to go for awhile now. They are allowed to go even though they are 16th in BCS? I don't bother reading the rules of the useless BCS anymore. Just know the top 4 automatically get spots.

              Arkansas most likely going to Cotton Bowl, lol. Two losses to LSU and Bama only, but F them anyways. Hate Petrino with a passion.

                  You have to realize it's all a product of the fukked up system. Two SEC teams in the Championship game steals the SEC spot in the Sugar Bowl. The 2nd spot is at-large. With the SEC teams out, it becomes the Sugar Bowl's choice of whatever match-up they want. Michigan draws better than Michigan State in football any day of the week. Wisconsin isn't getting screwed by the way ... Big Ten Champ goes to the Rose Bowl and they are probably gonna be it.

                        Michigan in any bowl game = $$$$$

                        Same for Notre Dame, Ohio St, or any other teams with millions of well heeled fans. Conversely, most Boise fans are mouth breathing droolers who live on some type of gubment assistance. They don't have money for bowl games.

                          I'll give him credit. For what Rodriguez left Michigan... wow. I think it's one hell of a job. But Michigan doesn't deserve to be in any type of BCS match up. They had a very weak schedule.

                            10 BCS teams this year and only like 4-5 are worthy.

                              MSU about to get screwed for the second year in a row.

                              Last season they beat Wisconsin head to head and had the same record as the Badgers but lost later in the year and wound up in the Capital One instead of the Rose.

                              This season they beat Michigan head to head and had the same record, but they'll lose in the insignificant Big Ten title game and get passed over by the Wolverines.

                                  MSU is getting screwed but they just don't bring the cash these companies want. Michigan fans travel well and the school brings in money. At the end of the day it is a business. This has been projected since week one btw.

                                    too bad they couldn't win the big 10.

                                    would have liked to see them go up against oregon in the rose bowl.

                                      I think Oregon would have smashed the shit out of Michigan.

                                          boise/okalahoma st/oklahoma/stanford/houston/etc.. all these teams will score over 50 on that weak defense and it will be all she wrote

                                            Weak? Houston will be exposed immediately.

                                            Defense far from weak, pal.

                                              As a fan, I would be the most stoked for:

                                              Oregon vs. Wisconsin
                                              Michigan vs Houston
                                              Oklahoma State vs Stanford

                                              As a bettor there are quite a few additional matchups that could be very profitable.

                                                          People who say Michigan doesn't play defense clearly haven't watched any of this their games and don't realize that Rich Rod and company are gone.

                                                          Greg Mattison is a fantastic defensive coordinator. Michigan is playing good defense with the shit recruits from the Rich Rod era. Imagine how good they will be when they have Brady Hoke recruits.

                                                          Michigan doesn't deserve a BCS bid but I don't give a fuk I really hope we get one.

MSU is a national power in hoops, they've become a consistent winner under Dantonio, and MSU is the ninth largest school enrollment-wise in the country.
