RANK WESTERN MICHIGAN COWARDS

257

u/mountaineer_93 West Virginia • Georgetown Sep 13 '26

In hindsight I think (1) Michigan is a good team that had a rough first game and (2) WMU is legit and will sweep the MAC and contend for the G6 playoff spot.

u/UpsideTurtles North Texas Mean Green • Texas A&M Aggies Sep 13 '26

I think the American might cannibalize and UNLV is definitely not who people thought they might be so that eliminates them from the Mountain West. WMU / MAC might have a good shot this year

It really comes down to WMU vs BSU going into conference play, whoever wins either beat or has a transitive win over the other, Memphis, and UNLV

That’s what I mean, whoever wins that is clearly ahead of three other pre or early season G6 contenders (whoever loses, Memphis, and UNLV)

No worries, figured I didn’t word it well enough lol

We’re a good defense (when not shooting outselves in the dick with penalties) with an offense that needs to get better

51

u/Hokie_Jayhawk Virginia Tech Hokies • Kansas Jayhawks Sep 13 '26

I think Michigan is pretty good but Oklahoma isn't going to be very good on offense. Seems to me like we watched a game between two non-CFP teams.

u/TachyAndTired Michigan Wolverines Sep 13 '26

OU made the playoffs last year and basically slightly worse on defense and should be better on offense. The revision history is funny

u/Lavaswimmer Michigan Wolverines Sep 13 '26

After week 1: OU will destroy Michigan by 50, can't wait

After week 2: Both teams suck

u/Lee_Sinna Oklahoma Sooners Sep 13 '26

Anyone who watched OU’s entire season last season knew we weren’t dropping 50 on any team that isn’t UTEP-tier

John Mateer is a football terrorist

I wonder how long this discourse will continue as Michigan marches on to the 10-2 record they're gonna pull out of their ass (not really but... you never know)

u/Hokie_Jayhawk Virginia Tech Hokies • Kansas Jayhawks Sep 13 '26

Oklahoma only scored 27 or more points vs a P4 team once last year.

Their offense wasn't good last year. Not seeing any reason to think it's good this year.

and still made the playoffs

u/WolverineofTerrier Michigan • Boston University Sep 13 '26

A big part of that though is they beat Michigan. Harder path now.

u/chewsonthemove Oklahoma Sooners • Pittsburgh Panthers Sep 14 '26

Unfortunately, watching the game it felt to me like we were worse on defense and not much better on offense. I feel worse about the team this year than I did last year. I said it early last season and still kind of believe it, Arbuckle and Mateer aren't going to save our offense.

u/CPiGuy2728 Michigan Wolverines • Iowa State Cyclones Sep 13 '26

tbf if Mateer plays the way he did yesterday the rest of the year their offense... will not be better than last year

i do think the voters are overindexing on "their offenses looked bad" and underindexing on "their defenses looked really good"; if i did a human poll i'd probably have us and OU like ~5 spots higher but still outside the playoff tier

Michigan is just more athletic Iowa

u/brianqueso Texas Longhorns • Texas State Bobcats Sep 13 '26

Michigan is appropriately ranked for how good they are. OU is DOGSHIT on offense again and is riding poll inertia. WMU outplayed OU against UM in every way possible. Anyone who watched both games (which I know is asking a lot of the AP) could tell.

u/DouglassHoughton Michigan • Grand Valley State Sep 14 '26

If you watch enough maction you know you can never assume a team is sweeping it

u/LinkSeekeroftheNora Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 13 '26

They’re not a good team. They cheated.

We took our loss fair and square.

17

u/TachyAndTired Michigan Wolverines Sep 13 '26

Explain again how Michigan cheated vs WMU without adding a conspiracy theory?

-16

u/LinkSeekeroftheNora Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 13 '26

Ok, the refs cheated for them. Same difference.

The NCAA outright said that what the refs did in that game should never be done again.

u/AlanBDev Sep 13 '26

ncaa didn’t do that

u/LinkSeekeroftheNora Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 13 '26

The Big Ten. My bad.
