Say what?

Ivan Meisel said:

Michigan went 7-5 last season. Two of those victories came in overtime, and a third came on the final play against Penn State. In other words, Michigan came within three snaps of being 4-7.

Well, Michigan also lost four games in the last possession:

• Michigan lost 23-20 to the University of Wisconsin on a four-yard quarterback keeper by John Stocco with 24 seconds in the contest.
• Minnesota freshman kicker Jason Giannini hit a 30-yard field goal with one second left to give the Golden Gophers the win and the Little Brown Jug
• On its final possession, Ohio State drove 88 yards on 12 plays for the game-winning score, a three-yard touchdown run by Antonio Pittman with 24 seconds remaining.
• Michigan's final two possessions ended with an incomplete pass at the goal line and a last-ditch effort on a series of laterals that fell short at the Cornhuskers' 13-yard line.
  

So by that logic, Michigan could have been 11-1. Come on, the 2005 version of Michigan football is a 7-5 team. No better, but certainly no worse than that.
