Not the Top Four Games
Let's agree that Florida, Wisconsin, PSU and OSU cannot be trap games because they are top 25 teams, each game with huge implications. Everyone is pointing at them.
In Between Game = Indiana
For my money the game that could be a problem is Indiana
I know they have a new coach (tom Allen) but consider the following:
1. We beat them by only 20-10 in the Big House last year
2. Indiana will be feeling great about playing at home two weeks after playing at Happy Valley
3. Indiana has an "Off-Week" before the Michigan game. Lots of time to heal and prepare
4. For Michigan, this game is wedged in between two emotional games: MSU and PSU
Indiana could be a Sneaky Tough Game
I still think we win this game comfortably but this is a game that could surprise us if we are exhausted from an emotional win vs. MSU and looking forward to the "potential" Game-of-The Year at PSU
