Oklahoma/Michigan poll and thoughts

[BIGSTICK67]

More importantly, do we want Michigan to be undefeated when they come to Lincoln, or do we want the cheaters to lose because...they're arrogant cheaters a.k.a. Michigan?

I think OU wins. As much as it pains me, I'm hoping Michigan squeaks out a win and looks terrible doing it.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Another thought. If M wins it elevates Bryce Underwood and builds unnecessary hype, causing the DR15 chatter to be more subdued.

The Blackshirts take it personally and shut down Underwood.

 

[Cornicator]

If Michigan does win that game, I think its the beginning of the end for Venables.

True Freshman QBs don't win games like this one.

 

[Tonkasker]

I think underwood is the real deal. I also think oklahoma has a bottom 3 OL in the SEC. Michigan wins

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Both teams are overrated. I voted for Michigan.

My thoughts exactly.

I’m taking OU in Norman, but it has more to do with a freshman under center on the other side than it does any great confidence in Oklahoma or Venables.

 

[Kazman5k]

I want Michigan to win so we can get a highly ranked over confident team, but I think Oklahoma whoops them

 

[Ripping Lips]

I kind of hope that Michigan gets humiliated and has a losing season for once. Oklahoma will have a hard enough time in the SEC they will flail like a fish out of water.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I'm just personally focusing on Akron because if I look ahead that might hurt the team for reasons

Michigan. I believe Michigan imposes its will in the trenches, and Haynes has a night. OU won't be able to establish a run game and will have to be one-dimensional. That is never good when facing a defense like Michigan. OU's venue is overrated and not that loud whatsoever. Underwood will be fine. The end of Venables is going to be beautiful to watch.

Undefeated Michigan vs an undefeated Nebraska on CBS week 4.

7 overtime periods, Underwood gets hurt, but Michigan still wins in the end.

UM - 64
OU - 60

Who fucking knows...let's just give Akron the elephant sized, sandpaper dildo treatment.

Perfect. Our first Top 10 win in awhile.

So then will you think the same when Underwood comes to Lincoln in 2 weeks?

i.e. - NU beats Michigan in Lincoln due to a freshman under center?

Not hurt. Not injured.

Dinged.

We want him slightly dinged so that he continues to play but is uncomfortable.

Then he comes to Lincoln and gets popped early. Starts panicking. Continues to play through it but poorly. The Michigan coaches wait too long to give him the hook and we win as they fail to adjust.

Agreed with this. This will be one of those games where whoever wins it gets way too much hype and will eventually come down to earth.

I have no idea who wins it. On one hand I think that Michigan struggles with a FR QB on the road, on the other I consider how bad OU has been under Venables. Interesting game either way.

 

[Huskers633]

I've never been a "root for your conference" guy. So I don't really care who wins, however, I think Oklahoma will win at home. People talking about Underwood getting injured, my hope is that the Nebraska/Michigan game starts the same way the game did in my College Football 26 dynasty. Opening drive Nwaneri blindsided Underwood, he fumbled, and Ceyair Wright scooped it up and took it back for 6. Nwaneri's hit also knocked Underwood out of the game.

 

[Alcaus]

Michigan is probably going to run the shit out of Haynes but I see Oklahoma winning at home.

 

[Kaladin]

Michigan so that the big ten can get another win over the sec and Michigan is overconfident heading into the ass beating we give them

Not necessarily.

Underwood will have started three games by that point, lived through whatever he lives through in Norman and at this point I still think OU has a better overall roster than we do. Now I could go position by position and find exceptions without, and as much as Rhule still has a ways to go before he’s proven to be a championship coach, he’s better than Venables in my mind. Add to that the fact that Lincoln isn’t exactly the nearly impossible road win it was.

All that said, I think we have a shot due to Underwood’s youth and their head coach.
