stays the same.
I think UM finishes 9-4. Maybe 8-5. The Harbaugh factor and a good defense still would finish above .500 but a lot of close games. I think UM probably loses both Minny and IU and who knows about the bowl opponent. I think UM still beats Northwestern and BYU at home especially since Rudock wasn't anything to write home about in those games.
Rudock will go down as the transition guy who gave this program a lot of momentum. Not saying Chesson or Smith or the other guys (defense) didn't make significant contributions but this program (IMO) has unbelievable momentum right now even after the MSU and OSU games.
That is really saying something when you think about it. It's like those losses aren't even factored into the present equation. It's like they are a distant memory and the overall season was a rousing success and had no impact on the final review.
Losing to MSU didn't really factor into the OSU loss. The OSU loss didn't really factor into the MSU loss. What does UM gain if they win one of those games...fiesta bowl against ND?...which they might lose. Every thing turned out pretty well...all things considered.
