I was talking about rankings.
But yes, Wisconsin was a nice win last year. Check out their schedule though. Even though they were a good team, they didn't have to play OSU, played 7 or 8 patsies, and lost to the only ranked team they played in the regular season. Nor were they ranked when UM beat them. Plus they only played 3 teams with winning records prior to facing Arkansas.
I'll give you PSU in 2005. That was a solid win. Not an OSU or USC, but still good.
Iowa was pretty good in 04, but they were very streaky and lost when they shouldnt have.
I think my point still remains... If Carr was a top tier coach, he would 1) beat OSU more often, and 2) win more bowl games. That's what Michigan's season comes down to. With the athletes that UM has, the only explanation to me, for losing 3 straight times to OSU and 4 straight bowl games is coaching.
