Where are you seeing conference schedules for 2023?

Also, the no-night-game-in-November meme has been dead since at least 2016. The Gophers played a true night game in Lincoln that year in November, and IIRC Michigan at Iowa in 2018 was a night game.
Michigan at Iowa was in 2016 and was a night game on Nov 12, 2016.

that Danny Kannell is still a moron and Joel Klatt (someone I have no love for) is his daddy...

RE: Iowa and Maryland....Michigan was up 20 on the road in Kinnick when Iowa scored a garbage time TD with about 8 seconds left in the game to make that score look closer than it actually was. Michigan was in prevent and playing back-ups- that last TD was against the 2nd team defense. Jeem isn't like Day and keeping in his 1st team up 40 in the 4th QTR trying to run up the score and get his guys the hypseman
I'm getting tired of you ignoring facts that aren't conducive to your argument.

Do you know who else scored a garbage time TD in Kinnick on October 1? That would be your Wolverines. I'll refresh your memory:
  • Iowa forced a punt and got the ball down 13 points (20-7) with a little under four minutes remaining. Granted, for Iowa that is hopeless but a team with a competent offense has a chance in that situation (score, onside, score again, slim chance but stranger things have happened).
  • Being Iowa they went backwards and turned the ball over on downs at the Iowa 28. Thus:
  • Michigan got the ball at the Iowa 28 while leading by 13 (20-7) with just over two minutes to go. They could have taken three knees and gone home with a 13 point win (20-7) or put in their backups. Per your post quoted above, Harbaugh doesn't leave starters in so some scrub backup named Blake Corum ran three times for 28 yards for a TD with just over one minute to go.
  • Michigan kicked off and Iowa's comically bad walking embodiment of nepotism offense managed to drive 75 yards and score with 00:08 remaining.
Ok fine, eliminate garbage time TD"s, Michigan won by 13, 20-7.

I like Klatt.  He's a welcome and refreshing anti-ESPIN viewpoint.

Is UNC the most over ranked team?  TCU>??  Clemson?

Who among the top 20 will finish out of the rankings, badly?

I think the problem is that once you get past OSU/UGA which imo are in Tier 1 and then there's a little bit of a drop off and there's Tier 2 of MICH/BAMA/TENN and then there's a pretty big drop off to Tier 3 #6-15- like you can make arguments for a bunch of teams 6-15.

Clemson is ranked 5th or 6th right now- and they might be the most overrated. SP+ has Clemson like 14th or 15th right now, and they just had to bench their upperclassmen QB in the middle of the 3rd QTR at home to squeak out a 6 pt win vs Syracuse- Clemson honestly hasn't played great all year and they've had a pretty easy schedule and the ACC is honestly god awful. It's the B1G West of the CFB conferences.

I'm not yet convinced UGA is an "elite" team.  Of course I wasn't convinced last year either.

There is a lot of football yet to be played, and one bad game can send a good team home.

Yeah, well I am. Oregon is a pretty good team. And UGA absolutely destroyed Oregon. Made them look like a high school team. Stetson Bennett is A LOT better than any of us thought he was- and he's an even better player now than he was last year when he lead UGA to the 'chip. UGA had 2 weeks in a row where they played down to poor competition and didn't live up to expectations- probably should've even lost to Mizzou- but they didn't. Since then they've went back to murdering bad teams the last 2 weeks. And that's what the great teams do- they murder the teams they're suppose to. The only real test they have left is Tennessee and that game is in Athens and Tennessee doesn't play defense. Georgia does.

Miss State? Really? Georgia will destroy them. Miss State is basically redneck Maryland. Kentucky is a fraud and complete pretender. Already mentioned the Tennessee game, that's their only real test left. And that one is at home and Georgia plays really good defense. Tennessee doesn't. Give me the home team that plays great defense.

how about #10 ranked WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS?

They're best win appears to be over FSU 

they have 3 ranked teams on the rest of their schedule
