No. 7 Stanford | No. 9 Tennessee | Top 25No. 8: MichiganLast Season: 10-3?(6-2 Big Ten East)After fielding a top-10 defense each of the past two years (just 295.4 yards allowed per game since 14), Michigan enters 2016 with my No. 5-rated defense overall, led by my No. 10 defensive line and No. 8 secondary. On offense, the Wolverines return their top four receivers, led by 6-3 senior Jehu Chesson (764 yards and nine TDs), and their leading rusher, DeVeon Smith (753 yards). Michigan should open the season 7-0 and likely will be ranked in the top three, but the team has a brutal stretch to end 2016: Its final three road trips are to Michigan State (toss-up), Iowa (+3) and Ohio State (+6).IN IF... It can beat both Michigan State and Ohio State, a feat the Wolverines havent accomplished in 13 years. With a subpar schedule, theyll need that résumé boost for a playoff shot.OUT IF... Jim Harbaugh cant work his QB magic. UM claims the best pair of wideouts in the Big Ten (Chesson and Amara Darboh) and perhaps the best TE in the nation in Jake Butt (12.8 ypc) -- but those threats arent worth much without a quarterback who can find them.Michigans chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Hawaii: 99.4% 09.10 vs. UCF: 97.6% 09.17 vs. Colorado: 90.5% 09.24 vs. Penn State: 79.7% 10.01 vs. Wisconsin: 78.6% 10.08 @ Rutgers: 85.2% 10.22 vs. Illinois: 94.5% 10.29 @ Michigan State: 66.6% 11.05 vs. Maryland: 93.1% 11.12 @ Iowa: 66.3% 11.19 vs. Indiana: 91.3% 11.26 @ Ohio State: 48.4%Year 2 of the Jim Harbaugh era produces a College Football Playoff berth, as his experienced Wolverines ride a ferocious defense and a favorable schedule to an 11-1 regular-season record and a long-awaited Big Ten title.?-- Brian BennettThe Harbaugh hype is real. With cornerback Jourdan Lewis and linebacker Jabrill Peppers, this defense might wind up as the best in the country. This team is more than capable of an 11-1 record and a spot in the Big Ten championship.?-- Josh MoyerThe first half of Michigans schedule will do nothing to slow down the Harbaugh Express hype train in Ann Arbor. A 10-2 regular season is a reasonable step forward considering the Wolverines make trips to Iowa City, East Lansing and Columbus in the last five weeks of the year.?-- Dan MurphyMichigan doesnt play a game outside the Big House until Week 6 and is a favorite to win its first 11 games. Michigan breaks through in Harbaughs second year and beats Ohio State in the regular season finale to finish 12-0 and reach the league championship game. -- Jesse TempleThe Harbaugh Hype is building. But with uncertainty at quarterback and a tough conference schedule that includes road trips to the other three Big Ten contenders, the Wolverines are probably a year away and looking at a 9-3 campaign.?-- Austin WardNo. 7 Stanford | No. 9 Tennessee | Top 25 Shawne Merriman Jersey Retro . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.
