That will follow Michigan for a long time. Or until all the players that where on the team at the time of the game are gone. Same team, different players different results. I don't know how anyone can bash any team like OU or Ohio State from a blow game that happen 2-3 years ago and try to say they are the same now.
I'll tell you how. When you keep choking you gotta win your way out of it. Instead Ohio St. keeps getting the token top 10 ranking. This year it was #6.
Look at the Top ten today. Do you notice anything interesting about one of those teams? I'll help you. Choklahoma is the only team that has 1 loss and is in the top 10. It's the same BS that happens every year. USC and Ohio ST. are #12, and #13. Look how far other teams fall when they get 1 loss. Va tech lost to Alabama who is still unbeaten, therefore you can make an argument for them.
Ohio St. was a 2pt conversion away from being 1-2. Please tell me why they are ranked so high. Please try. Michigan is 3-0 yet they are ranked 23rd. I'm no Mich. fan, but they havnt lost.
Since schools like Ohio St and Choklahoma keep getting a high preseason rank and then choke in the big games after all the hype, year after year, you start to get a reputation.
And remember, the players may come and go, but Stoops,Tressel, and their systems stay constant.
