Michigan and O$U have superior talent in comparison to the rest of the division.

O$U definitely but UM? Obviously their 2021 season has boosted their standing in the eyes of the B1G media.

I know we're in "show me" mode after 2 down seasons but to claim that we have inferior talent to UM is a bit of a slap in the face.

I really enjoy how the Buckeyes play Wisconsin and Iowa at home this year while we traveled to both last year.

I fail to see how anybody can be high on the Michigan defense while putting ours down. NFL bound players? Probably going to hurt us, but not Michigan. New DC? Diaz will take some lumps, but Minter has this!

Winning cures all.

The 2022 rankings have not been published yet, but the 247 Team Talent rankings from last year has Michigan at #15 and Penn State all the way down at......#16.

The past few years Michigan and PSU have essentially been equal in those rankings. If we start playing to the level of our theoretical talent rankings, the mediaheads will notice us once again.

Yeah, I don't buy all of this Michigan being one of the best in CF BS. Look at some of the close 2021 games they could have lost, starting with Nebraska who threw that game away - thanks Scott Frost. But the main reason they won the B1G was the HORRIBLE OSU defense who couldn't stop anyone in both 2020 and 2021 which resulted in their defensive staff getting fired (minus Larry Johnson). We have every bit as much talent as Michigan - just need to put it together this year.

What? You mean cfp Michigan? You mean the osu defense that stopped us? You mean Michigan edged out nebraska and we couldn’t edge out anyone?
I hate Michigan with a passion but give credit where it is due.

I'm admitting we need to pick it up this year but the talent - on paper - is there. I'm also saying that Michigan had everything fall there way last year. Have a feeling a lot of teams will be laying for them in 2022
