Where would this win rank for you?
Simple question. Obviously I’m assuming nothing because I know the task of knocking off the Death Star is immense. But IF Michigan were to pull this off, where would it rank in terms of big wins in your lifetime?
Safe to assume anyone 30 and under would probably have it at the top. I was 17 when we won the Rose Bowl to win the national title. I was a huge fan then, but I don’t think I appreciated it like I would now. I know this isn’t a national title game, but I would still probably put this at the top if it were to happen.

Current Top 5 wins in my lifetime
1. 1997 vs OSU - To me this felt like the NC game plus just the satisfaction of dominating OSU
2. 2003 vs OSU - I was angry we had lost 2 yrs in a row after being spoiled in the 80's and 90's. I never could have imagined that would be Michigan's last meaningful win vs OSU. 2011 I knew the reality. Michigan beat the worst OSU team in 20 yrs.
3. 2004 vs MSU - I mean it was the best comeback win of my life.
4. 1993 vs Washington - Most exciting bowl game I can remember watching that includes the 1998 Rose Bowl.
5. 1995 vs OSU - Biakabutuka goes off on heavily favored Buckeyes.
A WIN Saturday tops all those. Incredible upset plus finally beating the Bucks when it counts. Getting to play in the B10 Championship and possible playoff.

3, First will always be Jan.1, 1998 over WSU. Then 1997 win over Tosu. Current 3 is any of the other wins over Tosu in the last century.

I'm 43, this would be #1 if it were to happen. I dare not believe it will though, I am not investing emotionally in this and letting it ruin my weekend.
