Perhaps it should have read "facing middling D-3 teams that play in tough conferences" then? Tomayto - tomahto. Let's call the whole thing off!  :D

According to a credible source, there's a new No. 7 team in the land.

Forgive me if someone already mentioned this.

ROFLOL!  +k   ;D

And you know, some of the UMHB guys are saying they could defeat some D-I teams, and since they're ranked #3 in the poll this dovetails right into that discussion. 

K-Mack

That's awesome. You gotta love The Onion.

They actually had to check out our poll, I think, to do that.

Guess so.

For the heck of it, I put together a screen shot of the Top 25 with Michigan in it and sent it along to the Onion folks. :)

Classic. The great thing about the Onion is that they use actual true facts in their made up news...

Mr. Ypsi

Well, this is one Wolverine fan who thinks this is very disrespectful.  I think they should be ranked at least #4! ;D

Pat, the AP opened up their poll to allow voters to vote for Appalachian State (that was before Oregon made ASU's victory look like much less of a big deal!) - you gonna take the wraps off your voters ???

Pat Coleman

Hmm, no, I doubt we'll allow voting for scholarship programs. :)

They can vote for D3 or D2 teams, too.  I am waiting for someone to give MUC a point, it's bound to happen.

Hmm, does this mean Air Force, Navy, and whoever is this year's power in the Ivy League are now eligible? ;D

[Tongue-in-cheek belated revenge for the brouhaha over a certain Titan bball player who shall not be named, but never had a scholarship!  ;)]

Pat Coleman

I wasn't going to rule out the other programs in case they join. I know there won't be scholarships in D-III to worry about. :)

At the half: Michigan 31, Notre Dame 0.

How about a new version of Kickoff, with ND just below Principia? ;D
