I am ok with this. Surprised Michigan is so high and surprised Minnesota gets so little respect after 2 straight bowl seasons.

PSU overrated a bit. Minnesota a step low. Otherwise, pretty good.

Hmm, we destroy Nebby on their turf and they lose 3 starters on D this year already. I can understand the other 3 teams ahead of us just not Nebby.

This stuck out to me as well. No issue whatsoever with the other three ahead of us.

How is MSU not #1? And Nebraska at #3 was a major stretch prior to all their injuries.

Not buying Nebraska. Something is wrong over there.....I don't think the players like, or respect, their coach....

Michigan has a shot to improve on that ranking. They need their highly touted oline recruits to step up.
