Had long convo w/ Citrus Bowl rep. Said they would strongly consider LSU-Michigan matchup if MSU-Iowa-OSU end up in New Year's 6

I'm not sure the loser of the Big Ten Championship game will go though...what the most likely scenario? A 1-loss Iowa? Maybe...

They'd also be looking at Northwestern.

Is there any chance we get Glasgow back for the bowl game? He would help a lot vs. LSU if that's what it comes to.

I was disappointed that Michigan dropped to 19th. I think they are at least a top 15 team, but after Saturday's pathetic showing I guess I can understand it. Still, how can a team that you shutout 38-0 be ranked 6 spots ahead of you, and Florida that just lost to FSU 27-2 at home still be ranked 15th in the Coaches Poll?

I hope we play Florida over lsu. Seems like a much better match up for us.

I'd much rather play LSU -- a team we've never played. Far more interesting than another matchup with Florida in a Florida bowl.

I think Michigan can beat either of them, but Leonard Fournette scares the shit out of me. I mean, he's far more talented than Elliott, who just destroyed the M defense. I'll take Florida all day, their offense is terrible.

really? I look at Bowl games like this (i.e. non-Rose Bowl games; bowl games that are otherwise not worth celebrating) as an opportunity to beat someone we hate.

LSU has Les Miles, who for all his faults, is one of us. And I have no other particular reasons to dislike LSU, unlike some other SEC schools. They've never done anything to us. I find myself often rooting for them to win against all other opponents, especially in that 2007 national title game against OSU.

I'd rather play Florida. They had Urban Meyer. And Florida is a dumb state. Louisiana is too, but it's harder to blame them for it.

Can you dislike them for overemphasizing athletics? Their athletic budget is $120 M while the entire school's operating budget is around $500 M.

Ours is like $150 M compared to a total budget of $6,800 M.

Naw, dawg. That just means they have their priorities in order.

I'm talking about rooting for them on occasion as the lesser of two evils in CFB games. It's not like I'd send my kids there, or hire an LSU grad to do anything other than make coffee.

LSU coffee? I bet it's gross.
