The Victors

I think we’re going to kick their asses, something in the realm of 31-13. Even if our defense turns out to be mediocre, I don’t see Oklahoma being able to put many tds on the board. Major recalibration of expectations if we lose.*

• The hype for this team will be absolutely off the charts if we beat OU. No one nationally has us winning that game (even though we’re favored).* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 03:53:31 PM

    • agree and the stadium is going to be electric. Like Washington in 2021. * - By plug August 21, 2026 at 11:23:27 PM
  • We are going to beat OU solidly. This team is very talented. It was young last year and has added experience and coaching. We should be a playoff team* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:00:04 PM
    • Agree. We will be better than everyone believes and I don’t think ou will be great* - By ameriKa August 21, 2026 at 05:42:49 PM
  • I'd be pretty disappointed if we lose to this version of OU. Getting swept by Brent Venables isn't like losing to OU during the Stoops years - By y2wolv August 21, 2026 at 04:41:08 PM
    • They were 14th in SP+ last year so they were only an 8-4ish team because of a tough schedule. - By GritsGoBlue August 21, 2026 at 05:02:23 PM
  • I'll be excited if Michigan beats Oklahoma and Iowa ... - By Cutter August 21, 2026 at 04:34:00 PM
    • Iowa? - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:00:24 PM
      • I see it. We always play to their level and have a history of shitting down our leg against them. * - By jhamm August 21, 2026 at 05:09:47 PM
        • but we still win the games.* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:12:08 PM
          • Usually but not always. And the losses always hurt. Jimmy’s team lost at home in what, 85? By 2 points. Would have been - By jhamm August 21, 2026 at 05:18:21 PM
            • That was on the road as was 2016. Also 1985 was a Rose Bowl Iowa team. We are not losing at home. We have zero losses to Iowa since the 50s or 60s at home unless they have a Rose or Orange Bowl team. No chance* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 06:18:51 PM
              • OK, looked it up. Our last non-RR loss at home to Iowa that did not involve an Iowa Rose Bowl or Orange Bowl team was in 1924. Over 100 years ago. - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 06:22:57 PM
            • 2016 was a true goat fuck* - By ameriKa August 21, 2026 at 05:44:32 PM
      • Assowa* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 05:05:29 PM
        • Aside from the RR years, Iowa has won 2 games in Ann Arbor in my lifetime and both in years where they won or shared the B10 - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:11:30 PM
          • Wow, was just thinking I have no recollection of them ever winning in Ann Arbor. Turns out I really don’t.* - By Ev August 21, 2026 at 05:29:08 PM
          • And 2002 (also a great Iowa team that blew us the fuck out). But agree with you. We will be double digit favorites.* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 05:13:04 PM
            • Shit put that one out of my mind, but yes, that Iowa team was in the Orange Bowl (OSU won national title)* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:13:50 PM
  • I think our defense matches up really well with them. Their rushing attack was ass last year outside of Mateer. I think our secondary will be elite and will be able to stop the pass.* - By Bluebuck August 21, 2026 at 04:33:58 PM
  • Stewie thinks we will suck. Fat Ari thinks Bryce and Whitt don't care enough about the OSU rivalry. What does Seth think? I can't stand listening to that guy* - By Poster P August 21, 2026 at 04:28:17 PM
  • There were multiple clowns on ESPN who picked Iowa in the BTCG in 2023. These morons don't know anything. - By dnvrblue August 21, 2026 at 04:03:48 PM
    • As I often say, there is a lot of anti-Michigan jealousy in the media and in the B10* - By Rich August 21, 2026 at 05:01:18 PM
    • Two-thirds of them picked Washington to beat us in the title game. - By GritsGoBlue August 21, 2026 at 04:07:51 PM
      • Yeah, I think there's a YT clip somewhere of McAfee picking against us 5 or 6 weeks in a row. ** - By dnvrblue August 21, 2026 at 04:14:15 PM
      • An SEC network host picked Washington 65-14. Can’t remember his name. Good call!* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 04:12:36 PM
        • Tom Hart. I found the link. - By GritsGoBlue August 21, 2026 at 05:18:01 PM
      • Was that the same game where the YPP difference looked like something from a UM-WMU matchup? (nm) - By suede August 21, 2026 at 04:11:41 PM
        • That's the one! (nm) - By GritsGoBlue August 21, 2026 at 05:03:21 PM
        • Farted around for 2.5 quarters and still beat the fuck out of them.* - By LS&Play August 21, 2026 at 04:13:43 PM
      • Bball team spent all of 1 week ranked #1* - By chiwalker August 21, 2026 at 04:10:27 PM
