Lots of opportunities for big wins this year. Michigan plays 5 of the preseason Top 12.
Or an opportunity to lose 5 or more games.  Good luck!

can't get a real read on Michigan. Schedule is hard but that defense should be loaded and keep them in every game. RB duo is solid with Higdon and Evans. The young WR talent needs to mature, but a healthy Tarik Black and DPJ is as talented a duo as there is the country. Both those guys have 1st round NFL talent and I don't think that's hyperbole at all. Black came in super polished for a true frosh and he has great ball skills in the air. DPJ is just on another level freakish. The complete package with strength, explosion, speed, leaping ability. This kid ran a laser timed 4.42 and put up a 45" vertical as a sophomore in high school. Grant Perry should be a reliable slot WR that can help move the chains, maybe won't provide big plays but he's just a solid receiver. The TE room is really nice.

How they do really all depends on how well Warriner can get that OL unit to play and whether or not Shea Patterson is the real deal. He was rated really high for a reason- and he won the Elite 11 MVP and Army Bowl MVP for a reason- kid has a lot of pure talent. He wasn't very consistent at Ole Miss but then again he was young and has only played in 10 games total. From a raw talent standpoint he's by far the most talented QB that Harbaugh's had to work with at Michigan thus far. Only time will tell how well he actually performs in the games. If Warriner can get that OL playing at even an above average level that will help out Patterson a lot. If that OL is really shaky again this year then Patterson will struggle.

The only worry I'd have with Patterson is turnovers.

I like Michigan’s spot.  Four Big Ten opponents and the Irish ranked above.  Thank you.

yeah, his TD to INT ratio at Ole Miss in 10 games was 2:1. Not great.
He's definitely got a lot of talent though. I've watched most of his games. Talent is evident. Quick, compact throwing motion. Accurate passer, not a cannon arm but he's got plus arm strength- can make all the throws. Athletic and light on his feet. Throws on the run really well. He's probably not the 6'2 he's listed at, probably more like 6'1 and change, but that's not a real problem. He can get a little careless with the ball and try and do too much, as most young QB's with his kind of talent are prone to do.
He's a hell of a lot more talented than Jake Rudock, Wilton Speight, or John O'Korn. I'd feel a lot better about this marriage if he had transferred last year and redshirted. At least he got to go through spring ball and he'll have a full fall camp. Harbaugh really needs to change that offense A LOT and simplify things for Patterson if he is going to have success. I have my doubts about Harbaugh doing those things.

UGA plays 24 and 10 , and 26 and 27 if you count that far down.

A P5 team can start at 30 and go 12-1 and USUALLY make the playoffs.

I'm interested to see how FSU, Miami, and Purdue fare this year.  

I suspect Oklahoma is going to miss Mayfield (duh), he was really good.  These days Clemson gets penciled in near the top every year which is a testimony to their program how.

Usually the top 3 end up in the top 10, the other 7 end up in the top 20 save one bust, and then you have a mixture, with some team from the 10-20 range making the playoffs.

You can't.  You have to do it as an ordered or unordered list, or a table

would you like the long answer or the truncated one?  :57:
truncated:  
you can't.... 
long:  
We're using WYSIWYG editor that is more than a little long in the tooth, it's flat out dated.  there is no known exploits to it, though, which is why the developers of this engine stick with it- that, and it would require a massive amount of rewriting code to use another wysiwyg editor that has all kinds of bells and whistles, along with about the same number of exploits... 
there IS an editor out there they (the coders of this engine) have blessed free of exploits that will get the job done, but.... by the time they're done re-coding the entire engine they would have a new one altogether.  ..... and as it turns out, that is their 'plan'... the engine replacing this one is in beta production but has bugs- as you would imagine a beta suite does... when it is ready for production i'll update the site here and the editor issues/limitations will be a thing of the past.  it'll happen... at some point... even they don't have a projected day of release... but they've spent WAY too much time working on it to let it die... so.... it's just a matter of time.

Think about how much helmetosity influences those rankings with teams like LSU and Auburn.  Polled folks are "comfortable" with their being up there.  If there is some doubt, they get dropped to 24th, when perhaps they should be 40th replaced by Middle Kentucky State College.

Or Oklahoma State.

Bama and Clemson and Ohio State have "earned" their helmet of late.  I think Oklahoma may "miss" a certain QB more than they know, but perhaps they have some nearly as good in waiting.

The B12 is perhaps the most competitive conference out there?

Yeah, anything can happen when the losing team puts up 40+ points.
