SEC strikes again. Florida really came on in the second half, much more speed than Michigan could keep up with.

Didn't we get a flag for hitting a defenseless player on an overthrown pass like that this year? Wait, that was a conference game with BIG officials

Wow 1st year at a power 5 school that only won 4 games the year before and Mullins goes from 4 wins to 10 wins and a NY6 bowl win. In the best conference in America no less.

How does Harbaugh keep getting these higher rated recruits to come to Michigan and a top 10 recruiting class if they keep losing the big games and bowl games. The media hyped up Shea Patterson saying he was suppose to save Harbaugh and take them to the college football playoffs and yet we see them losing this game against Florida in the Peach Bowl.

Will be interesting to see how the pollsters handle this. Do they say Michigan would have been better with the players that sat out? I say no.

Florida had a lot of talent it’s not a surprise they went 9-3, but also keep in mind they lost to Kentucky and Mizzou..

Yes he maximized the talent he has ... not many 1st year staffs are able to do that .. obviously was able to get buy from the moment he took over

Florida is nothing that wonderful. South Carolina, third in their division, got pounded 28-0 today by a Virginia team that lost to Indiana and Georgia Tech (recently trounced by Minnesota). Embarrassing performances by both Purdue and Michigan. The B1G's good bowl performance last year had made a little dent in the notion of SEC invincibility, but these two games will feed right back into it. And Ohio State and Penn State better perform well or they can bury that big, bad B1G East Division crap.

I said Harbaugh would last 5 years at UM when he was hired. Looks like he might be right on schedule.

Not much needed to be changed either. The swamp donkey ran a similar system so a lot of key pieces were in place already.

so 4 or 5 guys from Michigan sat out, to prepare for NFL draft, guess that wasn't # 7 as advertised on the marquee. Yet, Brock tells it as if Florida are world beaters now, gotta sell it for the company i guess. Fact is Michigan quit this season after OSU, time for another vacation trip abroad coach? China, Antarctica or Siberia, so many choices!

It would frost me. Getting blown out people will say it wouldn't have made any difference. But a few plays blew this game. So to me that was a huge difference maker

Yeah, missing 3-4 NFL quality players matters a lot and it showed. I can’t say Michigan wins that game if they played but it certainly didn’t do them any favors to not have them.

So everyone predicts this game wrong, then they come out and say they predicted harbaugh would be gone...definitely not the place to get [good] advice.

Michigan's ranking was#7 before the players decided to do what was best for them. I hope the polls reflect the *** whooping they got and not their#7 ranking. A lot of games to be played, but probably should end up in the 15 area at best

Really? I got such good stock market advice on the two locked threads earlier this week I cashed two 401Ks and took a second on my house to invest like the board experts said I should. Please don't tell me there is bad advice on this board!

I just don't have a problem with this...This is a meaningless bowl game when it comes to the grand scheme of things, so do what you have to do to put yourself in the best financial position possible because if you get hurt, none of those people or the school you mention are going to be writing you a check to cover your losses.

So if any Ozigbo or Stanley would have said they werent playing in the Iowa game as it was a meaningless game, you wouldnt have had a problem with it? Dont say it wasnt meaningless as that game meant nothing. Im guessing any Husker fan that dont have a problem skipping bowl games would have a problem with this senario.

As a fan of course I want my team to be at full strength, duh, but I ain't mad at anyone who sits a meaningless bowl game out, even our players, and we all know it's gonna happen. I stand by my statement it's a meaningless game and nobody outside of those two fan bases cares about it, and won't remember who won or lost, including many fans of those teams. Playoff wiped out any importance the bowls used to have, and people want to up it to 8 teams? Talk about short term thinkers.

Playoff wiped out any importance the bowls used to have, and people want to up it to 8 teams? Talk about short term thinkers.

So according to you they're already meaningless games and upping the playoff to eight teams is going to hurt things? Since it's impossible to make something that's meaningless more meaningless I don't follow that logic. In any given year, no more than about six of these 38 bowls games mean anything, and that was true before they instituted the four-team playoff. Playing for a championship actually does mean something. At the FCS, Division II and Division III levels, every postseason game is important because they're playing for the divisional championship. If you don't want playoffs and still want meaning, eliminate about 30 of these 38 bowls and go back to the days when only top teams went to bowls and the rest stayed home.
