A new low for Michigan


Over the weekend, the Michigan sank to a new low in losing its eight game of the season to Northwestern on a day who's weather was as ugly as their season has been so far. Yes, you read that right. Michigan lost to the Big Ten's doormat team. Near the end of the 4th quarter the stadium was almost empty. "It was tough to stay," coach Rich Rodriguez said. "It's our job to put a team out there that everybody is proud of." So far this season, Michigan has struggled to do just that. With the loss today, the Wolverines have lost eight games for the first time in their illustrious history. You can say what you want about the lack of talent on Michigan's roster but, in the weak Big Ten this year, they should be preforming better than this. Rich Rodriquez is one of the most overrated coaches in college sports. West Virginia was lucky to lose him to Michigan.

The Florida Gators showed that they a force to be reckoned with in the national title race as they pounded Steve Spurrier's No. 25-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks by a score of 56-6. Quarterback Tim Tebow ran for a touchdown and threw a touchdown pass, and then got to relax on the bench for the majority of the fourth quarter. One has to consider the Florida Gators as one of the best team in college football. At this points it is hard to think of any team can stop them from winning the national championship this year including Alabama and USC. And if Tim Tebow returns next year, they will have an incredible shot at repeating.
