I just wonder if Michigan fans root for OSU?  I know FSU and uf fans aren't rooting for the other team to win.  Growing up an FSU fan, I and everyone I knew wanted uf 0-11 every year.

There is a little difference, they're already at the top of college football.  They don't have to prove anything.  We do.

They do not. This is the one place on the planet where cheering for your next closest competitor is seen as an obvious good. This is what participation trophies does to people.

What are we proving? That we are stupid enough to root against our own self interest?

They are established P5 teams, who regularly have a national spotlight. We need to do everything we can to get that kind of attention. What other game on our schedule this season would get as much attention as an unbeaten matchup between us and UCF?

It seemed pretty obvious.

Do you think the allies cheered for Germany to keep conquering European countries so that WWII could be a more exciting and marquee event?

Actually, what I said was: "What other game on our schedule this season would get as much attention as an unbeaten matchup between us and UCF?". The bowl game hasn't been scheduled yet, and if we were to lose the CCG, we might get some garbage bowl that hardly anybody outside of TBP will watch.

Absolutely. Because Churchill knew the U.S. would never schedule Germany since they weren't a big enough opponent, so he was rooting all the way for the Third Reich to steamroll the mainland and raise their profile.
