CBS Sports Preseason Bowl Predictions
Jerry Palm, no relation to Harry, has released his preseason CFB and Bowl predictions.
Most of it is ho-hum, although he has Clemson in the playoffs against OSU. Which seems, unlikely. He has MSU playing not on Jan 1st, but on Dec 31st in the Peach Bowl.
Palm picks the Jan 1st Outback Bowl for Michigan, with LSU as our opponent. Obviously, this must not be allowed to happen.

I like this in one regard - Michigan would get a NYD bowl with MSU playing on NYE. That would drive them a bit nuts, I think.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:24 PM ^
Isn't the Peach Bowl a "top 6" bowl or BCS bowl, or whatever they call it now? Dec 31/Jan 1 really doesn't make that much of a difference.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:29 PM ^
I think you're correct, and that's the rational view of things. But it would be funny to watch a good portion of Sparty nation get butt-chapped about this, on account of their proclivity to take everything as a slight.
Put another way (read in McBain voice) - that's the joke.
August 12th, 2015 at 11:10 PM ^
No they wouldn't. Two of the top 4 teams will be done playing on Dec 31st. They wouldn't care.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:24 PM ^
Even though they would be playing in a better bowl, they'd be watching us on Jan 1st instead of the other way around. Dantonio might crack.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
He just read it and they caught his reaction live....
August 12th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
Actually this plays into mork's hand perfectly as he can continue the "we get not respect" bit even longer even though it is now one of the better bowls.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
This "Mork" thing is so immature. We should stop doing it, and rise above such teasing.
There are so many legitimate things to criticize about Mike Dantonio - we don't need to stoop to misspelling his name.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
Says the guy who misspelled his last name. It's Mike D'Antoni
August 12th, 2015 at 6:04 PM ^
Who is this Miss Pelling you speak of? Is she hot, do you have pics?
August 13th, 2015 at 12:49 AM ^
Can we get Kork Coupons opinion on the matter?

Harbaugh vs. Miles, baby! Bring your nets and straightjackets. It will be INSANE!
August 13th, 2015 at 3:13 AM ^
August 12th, 2015 at 4:35 PM ^
Harry Palm is much more reliable imo
August 12th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
rubbe...I mean steered me wrong.

If we are playing LSU on New Year's Day, we will have had a pretty good first year of Harbaugh. And if we win . . .
August 12th, 2015 at 4:36 PM ^
Peach Bowl has been elevated in the bowl hierarchy, as of last season. It had two top ten teams last season (TCU and Ole Miss).
I would take the OB Bowl. 5-3 in the Conference, and 3-1 in non-Conference, gets Michigan there. That means losses to Utah or BYU (but not both), Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State. I think it's more likely Michigan beats one of Ohio State, Michigan State, or Penn State, and picks up a loss somewhere else (say, at Minnesota or Maryland).
August 12th, 2015 at 4:37 PM ^
Ouch.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:38 PM ^
Obviously that must not be allowed to happen? Why? That's, like, a great outcome for the season all things considered and would put us right in the spotlight with an extremely high profile Harbaugh/Miles bowl matchup.
August 12th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
And I don't want to see him have to coach against Michigan. Which he loves.
Also, Outback Bowl means that we didn't have the 11-1 season I'm predicting.

August 12th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
Hell, I don't remember the ones they do right before the Bowl Selection Show.
Easy way to get clicks and not have to be accountable for what you say. Like saying "we're going to have a hard winter" in August.

As I recall, Raymond James uses natural turf, so at least Les could have a light snack although I believe it is Bermuda grass (or some hybrid version) and I am not sure what the extent of Miles' taste for grass may be. That being said, if we did get to the Outback Bowl, that would be a sign of a very nice showing indeed for the first year of Harbaugh, I would say. New Year's Day Bowl? Sign me up if it indeed happens.
August 12th, 2015 at 5:25 PM ^
I would be satisfied with this outcome in year one.
There are some odd ones on there, which I guess make some sense. With Notre Dame's schedule and name recognition, I find it very hard to believe they will be in the Russel Athletic Bowl. Hard to imagine they'll be worse than 8-4 and that's if they lose every game to decent competition (GaTech, Clemson, USC and Stanford). Clemson also sticks out, but I'm not high on them this year at all. Not sure Boise gets in the "BCS" bowl but I guess there's more teams allowed now.
Who knows... Palm's guesses are exactly that right now.

Except...late in the season.
Which actually could keep us out of the playoffs.
Forget I said anything.
Especially the Harboys part.

I could see 10-2 with losses @ Utah and @ Penn State. We are winning the East.
August 12th, 2015 at 6:41 PM ^
I would love to see Michigan in the Peach Bowl.

Theoretically Michigan could be playing Arizona in the 2016 Rose Bowl. Got to imagine that one would be a popcorn muncher!
