ESPN projects next three seasons, ranks M #5 ($)

Wow, higher than I thought it'd be. I know Hoke is recruiting like a boss and I have no doubt Mattison will have us fielding top 10, maybe even top 5 defenses, but the jury might still be out on Borges.

Well, nevermind.

ESPN doesn't know shit! except in recruiting when they rank us really high.

Given the infusion of talent and good to great coaching, I could see a top 10 and may be top 5 finish in 2014, given that Gardner stays for his senior RS season. Morris should have learned Al's offense by 2015, so I don't see a big drop off. Greg will have our defense playing like a top 5 defense in two seasons. Michigan looks to be heading back to being a perennial top 10 team. The wildcard will be Borge's play calling in big games. As long as he goes .500 or  higher,  I'll have no problems with AL being OC, but if we start losing a lot of the close games (probably 2 per season) then it may be time to reconsider the OC spot. But I'm willing to give Al a chance with the talent he will be accumulating on offense over the next few years.
