I wouldn’t call ELA’s post lazy and stupid. He is just voicing what a lot of people are thinking.
I do tend to agree with you MDot- on Purdue. Michigan absolutely annihilated them even while being a little rusty coming off the bye week, which is very normal.
In fact, I will make his point again Michigan has the most talented team in the Big Ten, straight up on a level, playing field, and maybe the best team in the country. THIS SEASON.
I will be happy to wager that they win against Penn State and Ohio State, as well as the Big Ten championship, knowing that they are playing straight up with no sign stealing, because they are just that good.
But what you were missing here is it does not change what happened in 21 and 22. They had an ill gotten, in- game advantage. You simply can’t just say “well they’re the best team right now so they would have one in 21 and 22 anyway.”
