I'm going to compare it to horse racing. I find it insane that there are people out there who were ready to crown Bernardini not only 3yo of the year, but Horse of the Year if he won the BCC. Instead, he gets beat by a LENGTH, and now many of those same people are saying that he should not even be 3YO champion of the year because he didn't beat older horses in the BCC?!

One length should cost him both titles that people were ready to give him?

Likewise, Michigan gets trounced once and everyone jumps ship and starts dogging UM over it.
