So what's the consensus on Michigan?

I haven't watched a single game of theirs. All I know about is the sign stealing scandal...and even that is surface level.
They good? Great? Average? Any SEC teams you'd compare them to?

A better version of Kentucky? haha
They have a solid OL, and prefer to run the ball. They have a great defense, however they haven't exactly been challenged this year (especially the way a dual threat like Milroe can challenge a defense).

Good team, how good is hard to get a great feel for because they really only played 1 other really good team and played a couple of teams with pretty good defenses (PSU, Iowa) but no offense.
They'll be tough and physical and I'm sure they are well coached. We will present challenges on both sides of the ball that they haven't seen yet (especially on offense). I don't think they are going to present anything we haven't seen yet (doesn't mean they aren't good at what they do).

I don't think much of them.
They are a .5 favorite right now. They opened at 1.5.
Haven't watched them that much, but they seem sort of unathletic to compete at the playoff level.
Supposedly their defense is outstanding.

I think they are a pretty good team, but how good is hard to know considering they played one team (OSU) all year that had a legitimate shot to beat them. Penn State were frauds, as always, and the rest of the B1G was absolutely atrocious this year. Especially on offense. Historically bad for a major conference. They remind me of a good Les Miles era LSU team that's just going to keep running right at you until someone breaks.

I would expect to win this by 10-14

I wouldn't say they're a Dollar Store 2008-09 Bama, maybe a Target verson?

Paper tiger. Pushed around the likes of Rutgers, Purdue and Iowa. 14+ win for the Tide.

Tough game. This Bama team while improved is not what the juggernauts of the pre 2020s are. Think they’ll get there next year but I expect a really close game. McCarthy is super athletic and if he’s hot he’ll be trouble but if he’s off Bama should be fine. Hopefully our DL shows up because Michigans OL is not as good as years past.

I like Alabama's chances. I can see the young players getting even better by game time. But Michigan has tried and failed a few times in the playoffs. Maybe it is their time? I hope not. Roll Tide.

Too slow. Well coached but they're Georgia minus the athletes.
On offense, QB has decent wheels but nothing special. Average weapons. Loveland reminds me of Slade Bolden. Couple of Sunday players on the O line is as big and that about it.
Defense, if ever Milroe was going to gash somebody with the read option, this is the team. The last time they saw anything close to actual team speed, TCU gave them 50 and they couldn't get Max Duggan on the ground. LBs are bulky. Secondary is the weakest unit. We'll be able to get Bond and Burton behind them.
They'll need the game plan of a lifetime just to keep it close and even then, I don't see it.

That we're going to get to see some hilarious tantrums from Harbaugh while we're being the shite out of them.

With what we've seen in the past with Notre Dame, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Georgia with Michigan, etc., it's hard not to imagine we run all over them. They tend to not have the size and the athleticism to compete with us

They have a bunch of elite performances relative to the competition played. I don’t think they are a mirage at all

Michigan is good because for the most part they don't beat themselves. They are disciplined and they don't turn the ball over. Their defense is good and is going to make you work.
If Bama plays a clean game, Bama wins. If Bama turns it over a couple times, it's going to be difficult.

Watching B1G championship game, Iowa gifted Michigan 10 points on fumbled pass attempts. Should have been 10-0 type game. They are very basic on offense.

Michigan is the same team that got beat by TCU last year. Maybe slightly worse than last year’s team. Helmet communications are allowed in bowl games so sign stealing isn’t a problem. Bama by 17
