Can someone explain how SCUM is #4 in the AP given schedule & MD game?
I get that it doesn’t really matter but it’s like people don’t watch the games.

Because there are only 4 good teams and they made a mistake on 4. I would take Clemson over
Michigan any time. The first three obviously are Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State not necessarily in that order.

Said the former #5 Team. Who do you want in front of them?
cupcakes yes...but pretty dominant.

Indeed, 3 byes and a cupcake that they struggle to the end with. This week Iowa-worst offense in D1

Because polls are nothing more than a wish list.

They made the playoffs last year and are undefeated... AND they have a huge national following.
Given their schedule, they are likely to win out until OSU.

Kinda seems circular. They are ranked 4 and OSU 2, so whoever wins that game must be great.
How do you know UM is good? They were in the playoffs last year. Ummm … ok.

I never said U of M is good. Think about politics... when have we ever elected someone good?

Fair. ND catches a lot of schedule shit but the Big 10 is a joke.

SCUM scheduled themselves into the 4 ranking,
They're a joke.ColoSt.,Hawaii,UConn, the Terps, all at home, it's a disgrace.Believe it or not, they are finally venturing out of Ann Arbor this weekend.I don't know why pollsters reward this.Last I saw them in real game,they were taken to the woodshed.

100% - it’s a shell game. I guess the SEC needs a foil and the Big10 is as close as you get.

No argument here
I remember how that child molester supporting dirtbag would happily run up the score at every opportunity, hoping to win style points.

Exactly, JoePa was a scheduling guru, used to feast
On eastern teams, when such teams were historically weak.Once joining big 10, he found life different.Pa never wanted to play anybody, he's d have played Temple every week, if you let him.

They won, plain and simple
Maryland isn't exactly chopped liver. They're 3-1 now (yes, yes, those three teams weren't exactly good), and they have a hungry coach who completed his rehab under Nick Saban.
It will all come out in the wash. If Michigan can beat Iowa, Penn State, Michigan State, and tOSU, then they will definitely have earned it. With JJ McCarthy at the helm, they just might do it.

MSU sucks, Iowa has no offense, PSU will fold as always, so tOSU. Kinda BS
They’ve played no one, have a weak ass non-conference schedule, the Big 10 is weak generally, and they get in with one win against a good but not great tOSU. Sadly, this is probably the model for when the playoffs expand to 12 teams. Get in healthy is all that will matter.
That said, their D isn’t great and they’ll likely lose one or two before tOSU. Here’s hoping.
