Until UM starts recruiting like a Georgia or Alabama, this is what you will get. Ohio State is in the same conversation with those teams, but for some reason this year, they were soft in their defensive front and UM was able to get the win. That isn't going to be the norm.
Here is a stat to tell you the talent differential in the elite programs and UM right now. In the past 5 years, Georgia has signed 25 five star recruits. TWENTY FIVE. Bama has signed 20 five star recruits. Ohio State has signed 18 five star recruits. Michigan -- we've signed 4. This doesn't even include top 100 or top 150 recruits those programs have. Take this year's recruiting class as an example -- UM has a great class -- 9th in the nation overall. We signed 3 guys in the top 100. Georgia signed 12 of the top 90 recruits.
It is what it is. I said it midway thru the year they could just call the SEC title game the national championship as Georgia and Bama were way better than every other team. They are proving me right today. I love UM, but i'm also a realist.
