#2 Michigan (9-0, 13-0) vs #16 Iowa (7-2, 10-3) Post Game

Iowa will be wearing the home jerseys for this game.
 Michigan has the best scoring defense in the nation. Iowa has the 4th best scoring defense in the nation. Iowa is 2nd best in scoring defense in Big Ten play.
 Arguably, Iowa's scoring defense is  better than Michigan, since Michigan has an offense, and Iowa has the worst offense in the world, and beyond.
 Injuries of players who will not play for Iowa:
 Cooper Dejean - perhaps the best CB and special teams player in the country.
 Cade McNamara QB.
 Luke Lachey, best tight end in the country.
 Erick All - very good tight end.
 
Diante Vines, starting WR
Logan Jones, starting Center
Beau Stephens, OL

Four of Iowa's best players are out for the season. Nevertheless, Iowa found a way to defeat Nebraska --- on the last play. There is no way Iowa wins the Big Ten Championship Game.

Michigan’s best players on offenses and defense left The Game due to injuries.  OG Zinter with a broken fibula and tibia is out for the remainder of the season and CB Johnson with a lower leg injury of some kind but might be back in time.

We have seen this movie before.  We know how it's going to end.

This probably looks like the most lopsided major conference CG in history, at least before they play the game.  I'm not saying the score will indicate that.  

Michigan is a 22 point favorite with no O/U on DK's site.  I'd guess on O/U of around 40(?), meaning a predicted score somewhere around 31-9.

This game should be a replay of every game Iowa has played against Michigan since 2021.

Low scoring first half where Michigan moves the ball but does not get a lot of points.  Meanwhile Iowa does not move the ball at all but gets a break somehow and gets a FG.  10-3 Mich at the half.

Then in the 2nd half the Iowa defense starts to get tired and Michigan starts to pull away.  Meanwhile the Iowa offense does nothing. 

Final score Mich 31,  Iowa 3.  Michigan covers the 21.5 pt spread but finishes under on the over/under of 34.5

I saw a similar point spread,  21.5.  And an over/under of 34.5.

This suggests a score something like 28-6.

if Brian's offense can score a TD in this game rehire him

strange to fire a OC when they go 10-2

my guess is that this ends in a something to 0 kind of game

Like everyone who respects integrity, I'll be rooting for Iowa. 

Not because I'm for Iowa, nor even because I'm against Michigan but because the kids at Oregon or Texas or whoever ends up #5 deserve a chance and I'd hate to see their chance stolen by dirty cheating scUM who will have to vacate their CFP appearance anyway. 

To be fair, the kids at Michigan deserve a fair shot too but their own coaches deprived them of that.
