They’ve only kept the loss to OSU in single digits once. The last two years, they’ve surrendered 62 and 56 to the Buckeyes. They’ve lost four bowls in a row, the last two by a 20+ average. In season three, Harbaugh looked like he was on course to turning Michigan into what he was hired for, building a championship contender, going into the MSU game undefeated and ranked #7. They lost. Since then, UM has gone 25-16 overall, with a number of “bad” losses, either losing to bad teams or getting steamrolled. Harbaugh was supposed to make them a top tier team. He’s never finished better than third in the Big 10 East. UM fans are itching to start over. If he gets another year it will be because he doesn’t get NFL interest and/or they don’t want to buy him out.

- tOSU is simply that much better, but Rich Rodriguez bled them dry - ndunabomber - 10:36am 11/30/20
- They really haven't "fallen." They are at their best since Carr. - jakers - 10:01pm 11/28/20
  - Perhaps but 3-3 versus MSU and 0-5 versus tOSU. (1-5 combined at home) gets him gone. - TakethetrainKnute - 12:48am 11/29/20

- I live near U of M... anf the feeling here is that demographics is killing the Big Ten. - Curly1918 - 5:47pm 11/28/20
  - Likely is some truth that talent and excitement is bigger south, but ND & OSU are top 4 . . . - Napoleon - 10:09am 11/29/20
  - I like your logic here and it justifies joining the ACC permanently and keeping USC permanently on - THEISMANCARR - 9:44pm 11/28/20
  - Or bad coaching. UM and PSU have both had LOTS of highly-rated recruits. - murph78 - 6:27pm 11/28/20
  - OSU is on the border of SEC country and immune? That's silly and not true. [NT] - NDavenue - 5:57pm 11/28/20
    - Agree with you on the geographic argument. However, there may be something to the football culture - Frank L - 1:34pm 11/29/20
      - I won't argue with that, but that's not what Curly was saying. - NDavenue - 2:56pm 11/29/20
    - Hmm... have you been to Columbus and do you have a map? [NT] - Curly1918 - 6:05pm 11/28/20
      - That's like saying Indiana borders the SEC. There's virtually zero difference between Indy and Cbus. - NDavenue - 6:17pm 11/28/20
        Indiana is a basketball state. OSU easily takes the cream of the Midwest recruits. [NT] - Curly1918 - 6:22pm 11/28/20
        Columbus has Schmidt's German buffet and restaurant. That alone is a major plus. [NT] - ELP - 8:19am 11/29/20
        
        NDavenue has a strong point. OSU thrives cuz they got Urban and brought the southern practices North [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 8:17pm 11/28/20
        
        Irrelevant. Ohio is an everything state & has 0 geographically or culturally in common with the SEC. [NT] - NDavenue - 6:30pm 11/28/20
        Northern Ohio yes. Southern and rural not so much. - Curly1918 - 7:21am 11/29/20
        Oy vey. And Pittsburgh is a stone's throw away from West Virginia. The entire rust belt... - NDavenue - 10:05am 11/29/20
        
        I don't know. OSU arrest warrants for football players rival all SEC schools. [NT] - oldirish - 8:54pm 11/28/20
        
        Correct. This is has been a Michigan alibi for a while. [NT] - Hibakusha - 7:14pm 11/28/20
        Yep. Grasping at straws to justify why they can't compete with the Buckeyes. - NDavenue - 7:18pm 11/28/20
- How? Because there IS a God. [NT] - Napoleon - 5:35pm 11/28/20
