*** Richard Johnson: Michigan misses the CFP. This Wolverines team will have approximately the same defensive caliber but with a drop-off on offense. With actual threats on the schedule, they will be on the outside looking in at the inaugural 12-team dance. The reload won't exactly be plug-and-play in Ann Arbor.

**** Jerry Palm: Last year's CFP title game participants, Michigan and Washington, now live together in the Big Ten. While the league will put at least three teams in the newly expanded playoff, neither of those two will be among them. In fact, the Huskies may struggle to finish in the top 10 of its new home.
**** Most overrated team
Michigan: The Wolverines should still have one of the best defenses in college football, but how far can the offense fall for this team to stay in the Big Ten race? There's a giant question mark at quarterback and the wide receivers provide little help. New coach Sherrone Moore cut his teeth along the offensive line, but that entire unit is new. Running back Donovan Edwards (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/players/26697211/donovan-edwards/) and tight end Colston Loveland (https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/players/28874696/colston-loveland/) provide some building blocks, but is that enough? Making matters worse, Michigan plays three of the top four teams in the preseason AP Top 25. Michiga
n should still be a borderline top-25 team, but the Wolverines are closer to the pack than the contenders. -- Shehan Jeyarajah (Richard Johnson, Will Backus)

“Borderline top 25”. “Miss the playoffs”. “Actual threats on their schedule”
