Heres what I wanted to join and drop out
JOINED
– Michigan
– Marshall (I know that they didn’t make a bowl game. But 10-3 is great)
– TCU
– Florida
DROPPED OUT
– Colorado
– Miami FL (Because of their 2 game losing streak)
So Michigan beat Ohio State and Alabama, and they are not in the top 25??? Guess they are heavily relying on the whole season’s w-l record and not how good teams were presently.
You never know what will happen in College Football.
