This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I also think I agree... by revressbo

and you could continue that with the odd-numbered year trend back to 2015.

The 2015 team is the lone team in the entire Kelly era that I think had the talent on the field to legitimately compete for a national championship. Possibly 2011 too (more or less the 2012 team but with additions of Michael Floyd, Harrison Smith, Jonas Gray and Aaron Lynch minus a few guys like Russell, Golson, Daniels, probably some others I'm not thinking of), though QB would probably limit their ceiling.

As far as if each team brought their A game, I'd say 2017 > 2019 > 2021. Resume? I don't know, I guess flip that order given the number of losses (and the complete embarrassment in one of them for 2017 and 2019 each), but this year's team has had some pretty bad performances too (if Toledo was the equivalent of 2019 Michigan or 2017 Miami, that game probably would've mirrored those).
