Default UNI vs Michigan

My probability model has UNI a slight favorite over Michigan on a neutral site.

This far into the season, it's not as solid as later in the year, but it's still significant. This has a large factor for prior season and only one game this season, obviously.

I think Michigan would beat UNI, but I doubt it would be a blowout as Michigan lacks the offensive firepower to pull that off. BYU dominated UNI in the trenches, but I was impressed by UNI's grittiness and heart. They are a well coached team and I hope they win their division championship. I loved their qb, he had a big set of cajones.

BYU would dominate a lot of team in the trenches. Rich Rodriguez may end up getting it together, but that Michigan team was an embarassment for that program. My guess is UNI would handle them by a larger margin than my model predicts.

You're proof computer science isn't rocket science. We don't want to hear your partisan babble.

Do you think BYU would have beaten Utah had they played last week? I don't.

See the problem Jay is that I don't think you really believe that UNI is better than Michigan. Mars on the other hand . . .

You know what is sad though funk?

UM is really not that much better than UNI; nice win in the big house, would have been bigger if not for App State having done it already.

Kind of takes the steam out of the Yoots win, knowing that a D-II team has already done it.

Good luck agains those mighty Rebs.

You and Sagarin are a ways apart. You ought to keep track this year and see how you do vs Sagarin. Maybe you could get in USA today instead of Sagarin.

What does your model say about Washington.

PS I didn't use a model to pick the score last week. How did you do against me.
