Michigan Thursday: We are Average!!!

Let's hope the Big Ten grades on a curve.

Dave Birkett did a story for Ann Arbor.com that lists Michigan's Big Ten pre-season ranking in a number of college football publications.  Most have Michigan #6 or #7 in the Big Ten.  Which is not very impressive, in what is expected to be an average Big Ten.

Ohio State is clearly the #1 team in the league after their impressive Rose Bowl win.  After that, I expect Iowa and Wisconsin to be solid but the rest of the teams are very similar.   Some may argue Penn State will be a solid team, but they have a number of questions on offense and mostly at the QB position.   I believe Iowa and OSU will fight it out for the Big Ten title with Wisconsin doing what they do most years and the rest of the Big Ten is up for grabs.

Michigan ceiling is 3rd place and basement would be last.   For RR's sake, I hope he is closer to 3rd then 11th.   If your wondering, 6th or 7th  place with 7 wins would qualify for anywhere from the Champs, Insight, or Pizza Bowls.
