Washington Post thinks Michigan might make the playoffs. This year.

The gist of the article is that our defense is awesome and MSU isn't that good.

The Big Ten sets up well for Michigan this year, with three home games against Northwestern, Michigan State and Ohio State. And given how Ohio State has played on offense thus far, that game is also not projecting to be quite as lopsided as it did in the preseason.

 

EDIT:  MSU not that good?

Let's pump the brakes. The team is looking better but we only beat a tired byu team that was starting a freshman qb. If the team keeps it's focus and keeps improving each week then on Oct 17th we can show MSU Harbaugh!
