Well, that was fast.
It took exactly one game into the college football season to destroy any maize- and blue-colored fantasies of Jim Harbaugh and his band of merry Wolverines steamrolling their way to the national championship. In fact, one more loss like the one on opening night and it might be considered bad etiquette to even admit that you ever had any hope of them returning to relevant form anytime soon. This is the NCAAs after all, and even with a fancy new playoff system in place that made determining the best team a smidgen more fair and a lot more pleasurable, what it doesn’t do is go back in time and turn old realities into new ones.
