Summary

In this episode, we discuss the Michigan football team's latest playoff ranking, assess the importance of the Wolverines' road trip to Penn State and preview how we think Michigan will fare in State College.

Before we preview the matchup, we begin our episode by discussing the College Football Playoff rankings, which surprisingly put Michigan ahead of Michigan State, whom the Wolverines lost to Oct. 30. We discuss why national media overreacted, and showed some hypocrisy in the process. We also look at why Michigan is put on the chopping block more than the Spartans, and what the significance of the early rankings are.

We then discuss the importance of Saturday's game, assessing why it's arguably a more important game to win than even the Ohio State game in terms of the perception and progress of the program.

In the second half of the episode, we look at our weekly over-unders, keys to the game and make our final prediction for the game.
