You can see on here from their fan base how crazy they are -- they actually believe they are a coach away from competing with Ohio State for B1G supremacy and elite status nationally. I'm a die hard Michigan fan and even I'm not that delusional.
Ohio State has more talent on their roster than the rest of the B1G combined. Michigan finally got a win last year, but no chance is UM surpassing OSU, as we simply do not recruit on the same level as OSU and we never will.
CFB is completely different than the 70's, 80's, 90's. The elite recruits are no longer in the Midwest, they are almost all in the South/SW/West. Recruits don't slip thru the cracks anymore with the internet and social media. National camps, strength and conditioning coaches, etc have recruits closer to their ceiling than ever before, it is why schools spend a fortune on recruiting. The days of recruiting and developing 2 and 3 star recruits and competing nationally are over.
