Wow. FS1? Could have sworn ESPN would have gobbled this game. Great. Cannot stand how irrelevant this program has become.

...I dreamed a dream of channels a la carte...I'm going on 18 months of no tv service and I'm getting nervous about making it through the season. Last year I didn't care as much because we kinda sucked.

Michigan 25 Utah 20.  The score will be tied 20 t0 20 heading in the 4th. Mid way through the 4th, Michigan will get a safety. They will drive to the 18 but will have to go with a FG making it 25-20. Utah tries to come back on a 2 minute drive but Michigan INTs at their 40 yard line. Game over!

Don't get me wrong, it will be a bigtime challenge and an away game to boot. I just mean win or lose, national perception of the Utah program is not very good. This will be one of the toughest challenges any team has in week one (Minnesota's is even harder of course). If Minny loses, but it's a close game - the media perception will still be positive. If we drop a close one to Utah, the media (and this site) will shit a brick. I want to believe we will roll em, but I really think this is our 3rd toughest game of the season.

The media wants a ranked Michigan so it can focus on the Harbaugh story, Utah is a good enough team to serve as an excuse for a poll appearance going into week 2 should Michigan win. Utah is also playing week 2 on ESPN2, so the ESPN spin machine will have cast the Utah-Michigan outcome as either a solid Utah win or a good loss to a strong Michigan team in order to inflate the value of its content. A close game probably won't change perception of either team much, but a blowout win/loss could.
