OSU over USC? Are you high?
Who cares if they have their QB back. They lost their best running back, linebacker, and most of their best players from last year.

They might put up a fight this year, but I still think USC will win comfortably.
The pollsters love Ohio State--they have no business in the top-10 preseason poll. I can see them losing to Illinois, Iowa, and possibly Penn State. And I hope they do. I'm tired of seeing the Big-10 get two teams in BCS games just to see them get walked all-over by anyone else.
Went to the UCLA scrimmage today...too awesome, they've got some real speed on offense this year. I see 8 wins this year and SC game should be close.
Michigan to use 3 QB's against Western Michigan in a couple of weeks...should be interesting.
Michigan goes anywhere but 7-5 and Rodriguez be gone. I see Florida going all the way and playing Texas with Penn State looking in. SC will lose two games this year. Notre Dame gets ten wins they'll be in the Sugar Bowl. TCU will finally be the BCS buster people keep thinking they are.
Dude -- what are you talking about? Rodriguez will be at Michigan no matter what next year (well, 3-9 again or worse and he could be out).
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Stats since 1987 (when I first started caring about U-M). Taking out last year, Michigan is at 75.5% winning percentage, while UCLA is at 59.6%.
Team Win. Pct. W L T Games played
Michigan 0.73333 196 70 4 270
UCLA 0.58429 152 108 1 261
Who are you listening too? Michigan should not have gone 3-9 last year, if they have another losing season, he's gone. And UCLA hasn't been a football school...although it is a storied program. I know the stats, Michigan should be the Winningest program in FBS/I-A. We've had some hard times but I think UCLA is on the way up, it will take awhile I see them going 7-5 and maybe eeking out an eighth win and depending on the bowl ninth.
I understand Rodriguez system is different but you know what they say when you have two QBs...you really have none, and UM has three.
I too am guilty of just hearing a part of what Rodriguez said. He said that all three might play -- my money's on Forcier getting the lion's share of snaps, with Robinson thrown in to light some fools up (he's sick fast, and he is known as "Shoelace").
I just don't see Rodriguez having a losing season this year, and even if he did, he wouldn't be gone. It would be suicidal for the school to ditch the coach after just two years.
This is a year where, unlike last year, Michigan should beat the teams who have less talent than U-M. Last year, U-M honestly was scraping the bottom of the barrel. 1 starter on offense had returned, and no one had a clue (coaches included) on what to do. Rodriguez gets a free pass for that. All that matters is that there is heavy, marked improvement in the offense, and he's good to go. The defense is thin, but should be OK.
Zoltan Mesko is a pre-season All-American punter, for what it's worth.
Schedule -- predicted result
Western Michigan -- should win
Notre Dame -- 50/50 (hell, if we didn't have 1000 turnovers last year, we would've beaten them -- Notre Dame sucks)
Eastern Michigan -- should win
Indiana -- should win
@ Michigan State -- 50/50
@ Iowa -- probable loss
Delaware State -- should win
Penn State -- 50/50
@ Illinois -- 50/50
Purdue -- should win
@ Wisconsin -- 50/50
Ohio State -- probable loss
F*CKING FINALLY!!!! College football is back!
Fight on SC.
