Who will bounce back strongest after week one losses: Michigan, FSU or Notre Dame?

I say Michigan will go nuts. I'd hate to be Oregon. If they don't, then I'd hate to be Lloyd Carr in the "Big House" losing to Oregon.

I say FSU next, they are a work in progress and showed big improvements in the 2nd half.

Notre Dame will be 0 -2 after playing Penn State this weekend. Next they roll into Michigan's Big House. I can't imagine Michigan losing to Oregon and then ND and Michigan being 0-2 when they play. What's the world coming to???

I agree. Michigan and FSU are more talented than ND, and they are not playing Penn State.

Michigan will be competitive in the big 10 if not win the damn thing. Big 10 is pretty weak this year. The reason App. State beat Michigan was all about speed and most people knew that the wolverine D would struggle this year. Going into conference play, Michigan will see slower teams and probably fair pretty well.


...I can't believe I just wrote that.

remember also that FSU has historically been a second half team.

Michigan will respond the best. Why? Because they just lost to a Div 1-AA (oh wait, I mean an FCS? FBA? FBC? Screw it) opponent. If they lose to Oregon, their confidence will be shattered and their season will go right down the tubes. This is an absolute must win for them, and if Lloyd Carr is even a halfway competent coach he will prepare for this game like his job depends on it. Not like it does, because he's probably gone anyway, but still.

You're kidding, right? After watching them get manhandled, I'd say there are many teams that could beat them. I was there when App.St. played us tight a couple years ago and I'll admit there were a couple times I got a little worried...but had we lost to them I would have said we don't belong in the top 25.

Damn red, if I didn't know any better I'd swear you had a vote in the AP poll.

I really feel Michigan is just gonna explode on Oregon. Like 41-20 or something
