I was watching a video of Alex smith the qb for the 9ers. He's been their for like 7 years I think and when he got there this black dude was the coach. (not trying to be racist) but Alex smith wasn't doing good at the time and his fans even booed him. When the coach got fired he said "you have to have a quarterback". Then when Jim whoever came by they have been doing really well. And Alex smith is, well was a beast since he got benched. But do you think coaching fixed up the 49ers mess or more of the new players surrounding Alex smith?
Answer
Yes, at all levels of football, coaching plays a big part in how a team (and its players) perform. A great example of this Centennial High School and Mater Dei High School, in Southern California. There is no doubt that Mater Dei fields the better personnel, year after year. However, the reason why Centennial is more successful than Mater Dei is because of coaching. Centennial's head coach (Matt Logan) is a way better head coach than Mater Dei's head coach (Bruce Rollinson). I mean, coach Logan coached the 2012 team to the runner-up in the CIF State Football Championship starting his 17-year-old high school senior daughter, Sami Logan, during the last 7 games of the season. On the other hand, Rollinson coached the 2008 team to an 8-4 record with Matt Barkley at quarterback.

Please try and answer from the most NON-BIASED perspective you can. Also, how confident are you in your pick? (im in a confidence pool) Thanks!
Answer
Michigan is currently favored by 2.
Michigan has a slightly better running game and overall offense (looking purely at stats) but Tech has a better passing attack-and we know from the Ohio State game that the wolverines can be beaten deep
both teams are allowing 17.2 Points Per game...however Michigan had the 25th hardest schedule and Tech had the 47th.
The game is being played indoors..which is an advantage to someone like Denard Robinson. The indoor turf will just make him faster, and he doesn't have to worry about throwing into the wind (he has a nasty habit of throwing off his back foot, and in the wind that is just asking for an INT)
Clemson's qb is similar to denard (better passer than denard, not as good of a runner) and he gave Tech all kinds of problems.
It will come down to the Quarterbacks, and how michigan fixes their weakness against the pass. I have complete faith in Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison after seeing them turn around a defense that was ranked 108 in the country last year. I think they will fix some of the problems and we won't get totally torched. On the flip side of the ball, denard needs to avoid turnovers that give tech a short field.
If denard passes as well as he did against OSU and also keeps the ground attack going, I think michigan will win.
Right now i would put my confidence around 65%
This is all based on stuff I looked up on espn.com...i watched a 5-minute preview of the game and did a google search to find the SoS comparison...after I do some more reading my opinion may change
