Yes, the expanded 12 team playoff will help Michigan, since the runner up in the B1G will be making the playoffs in most seasons and Michigan has a shot at this 2nd place finish. Making the playoffs will certainly help recruiting. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2021/06/10/cfp-management-committee-consider-expanding-12-team-bracket/7640624002/

Typically, (except in a recent 'Bama case), "2nd place" is the conference championship loser.

Michigan hasn't even come close to sniffing the conference championship game.  What is this shot to which you are referring?

So dumb. Don’t do this kind of shit last minute into your tenure just because they do. Just be better and win. This shit isn’t what makes that happen. Just work harder.

Late on this, but I will laugh my ass off if they somehow pull of the upset and JH says something like, "well, I really wish I would have thought about banning red gatorade 5 years ago".

Yeah, I mean, it's fine. It's a good step, though there is a lot to do to become competitive with OSU. But it puts some more focus on the rivalry, which is never bad. If Michigan was a clear #2 to OSU in the conference, it would matter a bit more.

I'll never complain about something that focuses Michigan more on our rivalries, though.
