I agree that Michigan will be back, but I don't think beating Florida meant anything. I am sure that game meant much more to Michigan than Florida.It stands to reason that a new coach would want to spend extra time with his team as he implements new schemes and a new offense. I'm sure many coaches find ways to dance around the rules in the NCAA.
As far as the Big11Ten, it's down but it'll be back. Remember Michigan laid a whipping on Tebow and the Gators just a couple years ago.
