Is the University of Michigan simply a shell of what it used to be? Yes. Is Jim Harbaugh the most overrated coach in college football history? Possibly. Can Michigan contend for the College Football Playoff in 2018? Easily. While I understand Michigan has been preseason top-10 damn near every year since Harbaugh took the reigns and hasn’t done anything to legitimize these projections; this year is different.
Michigan is being kicked to the curb with
3 months still left until kick off in South Bend (which will make for a classic).
With the unfair expectations lifted off the shoulders of the program this year,
they should be poised to make a run.
I know the words Michigan and College
Football Playoff just sound f*cking absurd together but hear me out on this
one. The Wolverines are losing only 7 starters on what was already a talent
filled roster. Pair that with the additions of Jim McElwain, a proven head
coach taking an offensive coordinator assistant job, and quarterback Shea Patterson and
this team could be potentially be more dangerous than a Detroit alleyway past
midnight.
Shea ‘Big Time’ Patterson, who
terrorized defenses last year with both his abnormally strong arm and his
deceptive speed put up a .99 247 composite rating. With Michigan desperately
searching for a quarterback from John O'Korn
to Wilton Speight in hopes of finding a half decent starter, Patterson may be the one. The last quarterback I can recall, who called Ann Arbor
home, that was worth a sh*t was the NCAA video game legend himself: Denard ‘Shoelace’ Robinson who was drafted back in 2012.
Thanks to the Hugh Freeze
prostitution scandal Patterson was able to transfer, from the dumpster fire -
Ole Miss University, without penalty. Patterson is arguably the most talented quarterback in college football and is more than capable of putting up a Johnny
Manziel type performance in 2018 to finally push Michigan over the edge. Call
me insane, but don’t count out the Maize and Blue in this upcoming season.
