Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I've noticed. I'm not sure what to think. There is a lot of Tressel in Dantonio. Tress had some bad years offensively and would move things a bit, but never made some giant change. And magically sometimes they looked a lot better.

A lot of the coaches are the same people.  The difference, IMHO, is that at Ohio State high-end 4* and 5* talents nearly grow on trees while at MSU they simply don't.  High-end talent at tOSU bailed out a lot of Tressel's incompetent offensive coaches and made them look at least reasonably competent at times.  At MSU that level of talent isn't an every-other-year or so type of thing, it is almost-never thing and thus we see MSU's horrible offenses continually wasting MSU's NC level defenses.  

MSU is the hardest team in the conference to pick W's and L's for because their defense is so good that even the best teams probably will not get much separation from them and their offense is so bad that they can't get separation from even the worst teams.  Thus, I feel like they are a couple of plays from beating Ohio State / Michigan / Wisconsin but they are also a couple plays from losing to Rutgers.  

How about we get through Fall camp so we know what we're looking at?

I doubt it changes anything to wait.

I like the idea of knowing about injuries, and all of us seem to complain about the AP/Coaches polls coming out three or four weeks too early, so I don't disagree with the pause, but we usually finish our preseason one before the first game. Is there time for that if we wait until after all of the camps are done?

Yeah, we could do it starting the Monday before the season starts. That way we know what the depth and talent looks like, after camp. We should have more audience here by then too.

Oh no you didn’t.........

Forgive him, preseason polls and offseason rankings is Michigan's time to SHINE 

And February?

To be real, though, Michigan has been on the short list at the end of November throughout Harbaugh's tenure. That's the definition of a healthy program -- in the parlance of James Franklin: maybe a great team, not an elite one. It's also falling short of getting over the hump, which isn't sustainable long-term. Given 2008-2014, I'm satisfied and becoming satisfied took the program some doing. But of course there will eventually be a time when a lot more is expected. MDot is already there. So are other Michigan fans. But I don't think that's a majority. It might not even be close to a majority.
