Look I love Michigan like the next guy but this hype for 2016 is getting ridiculous. I think Michigan may end up as the most disappointing team in college football because of this hype
I believe they'll have the same record as 2015 which will make 2016 to many as a failure
However I am getting a kick out of all the Harbaugh hate all over the country. Mack Brown's now on it. Its awesome because people are afraid of a guy who won 10 games with Jake Rudock, didn't beat their rivals etc. Its funny

First of all I'm a big Michigan fan. But I don't wear rose colored glasses when looking at UM. Here's what I see;
Upside; The schedule is as easy as it gets next year. And with big road games late in the season it gives time for the team to improve.
New DC is the best and mixes it up from week to week.
The defense looks to the best since the 1997 NC team.
Appears to be depth at QB with Speight & O'Korn leading the way and Morris slightly behind the two.
The biggest foes, MSU & OSU appear to be on the downswing. The Big 10 looks really soft this year.
Running back Isaac has lost weight and looks like he is onboard now after falling on depth chart last year. He had a good spring game.
Tightend position is loaded. Jake Butt, Gentry, Wheatly(watchout for this guy) and Bunting are all very capable.
Downside; Can Harbaugh build one of these QB's into a national contender? Rudock was a 5th year senior, mature man. The three contenders this year do not have the experience. O'Korn likes to run, a bit early at times. Speight looks sharp but needs work on the deep throw. Morris is gaining a reputation as a streaky QB.
Can Michigan improve in the running game? Isaac is more an outside RB than a between the tackles. Who is gonna be that between the tackles RB?
Can the O-line keep improving? It needs to!
Key injuries can change everything!!
I see Michigan going undefeated or maybe losing one game this year on the way to the Big 10 title which would give them a playoff spot despite their very soft schedule. I don't see them winning a playoff game, not with a first year QB.
