Does anybody know what Phil Steele is smoking this month?  So USC gets NCAA sanctions and the guy is suddenly high on Michigan? What gives?

I agree with the prediction of Michigan returning to bowl eligibility in 2010, but the freaking Gator Bowl?

Rich Rodriguez versus Les Miles!  LSU vs. Michigan for the first time ever!  Wow man, like far out!  Except I'm not rolling large enough joints to share Phil Steele's magnificent clairvoyance on this one.  Sure, it'd be an excellent game to watch.  And all Michigan has to do is finish 4th or 5th in the Big Ten this fall.  Looking back on last year's standings, that's like asking 2010 Michigan to pull off a 2009 Northwestern or Wisconsin. Possible yes. I'm just not sure right now. Maybe after Michigan defeats UConn in the opener and then has Brian Kelly's Fighting Irish in a 4th quarter chokehold, it'll all become crystal clear to me.
