A lot of respect, but would anyone on this board prefer Cade Stover (1st Team) to Colston Loveland (3rd Team)?  Especially by week 12?  

I think they're underrating our DL.  And what does (not that he cares) Mike Sainristil have to do to get some respect.  The guy is the best baller in the B1G, still haunts the dreams of Buckeye fans, and is token 4th team?

Let them have their All big ten players. We will just flood the NFL with draft picks who have multiple Big Ten rings and playoff appearances.

I would bet Nick Saban like the dirt being thrown on his grave. He hates positive media, calling it "rat poison". Anything that puts a chip on the teams shoulder is nursed by him to push the team. They will likely be 12-0 and playing Georgia for the SEC Title.

I don't really have a problem with no Michigan DLs on the 1st team. Jenkins and Graham are both 2nd team. That seems right.

What is odd though is no Erick All anywhere on the lists.

yeah well see what jenkins does as pass rusher - coaches appreciate the all around game, media typically votes in sack leaders.  either way michigan has a few horses at DT.

while lacking handfuls of 1st rounders like uga/bama often have, michigan has maybe 12-14 guys with honest 1st team potential given good years.  they wont place near that many but it could be harbaughs most talented roster. 

will be very interesting to see how much they can improve and gel as the season progresses.  clearly a high ceiling squad

I stopped reading after they gave 1st team to Ohio State's guards over Michigan's guards. They were the weak links of the OSU offensive line last year like wtf are we doing.

The fact that they have OSU's Lathan (GETS PAST) Ransom at first team all-defense (especially over Rod Moore, who's on second team)  tells you all you need to know about this list.
