It feels like with Harbaugh the more things change the more they stay the same. The team opened the year with ugly, grind-it-now wins and no signs of the offensive revolution we'd been promised. Since a close loss to Penn State, they've scored 45, 38, 44, and 39, all while having a top-10 defense. Much like Florida, they'll wind up defined more by their losses than by their wins, and will continue to be a comfortable 15ish ranked team on the outside looking in at Penn State, Ohio St, Wisconsin, and - for now - Minnesota. Harbaugh is a huge step up from what Michigan football was a few years ago but he's not at the heights of what Michigan football used to be. Gotta wonder how long that keeps up.

4/4 in Tier C: Easy to slot here given head to head losses to Penn State and Wisconsin

(Computer #12: OU) Is this the year they finally knock off OSU? Because that's the most important thing, otherwise this is just another solid season.

I cant let myself get excited about the possibilities next week, but at least Michigan has been looking better since PSU, and beat a decent Indiana team by 25

Michigan has an ugly blowout loss to Wisconsin, but they have nice wins over Notre Dame and iowa. 

Michigan seems to have somehow shifted the narrative in such a way that people downplay their three-score loss to Wisconsin.
