Less than a touch down per game. Not that big of a difference.  |
Until you realize that if Michigan's opponents were scoring 5 more points per game on average (including against Michigan), they would have gone 9-4 instead of 11-2. Michigan's strength of schedule was 40th in the nation. They didn't face a single top 10 team all season. Now they start the season against an Alabama defense that finished #1 and an offense that finished #16.
Luckily, anything can happen in college football which is why we all love it. Remember when Appalachian State came strolling into the big house to open the season in 2007?
