They have their softest schedule in years with ND and OSU both on the rebound and both games in Ann Arbor. In fact, they only have four road games scheduled all year. If they can get by Oregon, they may very well run the table this year. The toughest game of the year looks to be Wisconsin, which is at Camp Randall. Wisconsin always plays well late in the season, especially at home. But other than that, their schedule looks unusually soft.

Furthermore, they don't play Iowa this year.

Discuss if you care to.

one of the most annoying things about college football, the top teams are all pussies and play unbalanced Home/Away schedules

Any easy way to turn this into an 'undefeated' parlay and see how likely it is?

I get tired of this. It's really more about money than anything else. Football funds all the other sports (and administrators' salaries), and they get, I dunno, several million per home game in tickets and such. Sure, you want home games against patsies so you can coast, but really they need the cash. Further, this extends to most lower-tier teams. This is why Michigan is playing App State: late change in the schedule (no more Vandy) and no one else wants to go to Ann Arbor because even the mediocre DI major teams (Minnesota, for ex, although since they're in the B10 they don't count for this) are also looking to maximize home games for revenue.

Also, while I love talking about all things Michigan, did we need a new thread for this? At the very least, just make it the official Michigan Wolverines 2007 thread or something.
