In which case, it's a Rivalry Game and let's see who plays better tomorrow.<br /><br />But no, you're wrong, one bad game out of six does not necessarily throw these stats off. For example, Northwestern still "appears to have" a top-ranked Team Defense despite giving up the bundle to the Bluebloods. (Look it up.)<br /><br />Can you comprehend? I just disproved your point, using the same "useless numbers" that you "used" to make your point.<br /><br />To get any value out of these numbers, you have to recognize that the teams that did not do well against Michigan (offense & defense) DID NOT DO WELL AGAINST OTHER TEAMS, EITHER (offense & defense).<br /><br />So yeah, I guess you could say the "numbers" that are being used to pump up UM are, potentially, "useless" - - - ESPECIALLY TOMORROW.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-15519411328779965012015-10-16T16:35:57.777-04:002015-10-16T16:35:57.777-04:00No doubt UM has "played better".

If you assume that your team will continue to play better and my team continues to struggle, you will be happy tomorrow.<br /><br />Our point is that they have played as good as they can but their team stats are not against B1G-level competition, much less a Top Ten team. And oh-by-the-way, they are playing a Top Ten team tomorrow. And we think that UM HAS played their "best game" while MSU HAS NOT played their best game.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-73262666905244992832015-10-16T16:01:56.426-04:002015-10-16T16:01:56.426-04:00Useless numbers.

If you are going to downplay who UM has played and beaten easily you might put it against the teams msu struggled against week after week.
