Class size matters for sure. I think you can sort by average rating, which is also important.

UW is 5th right now, even though the last few players they took have lower ratings (which will change as they develop through their senior seasons - diamonds in the rough that UW lives on). They have 16 commits right now.

Minnesota is 8th right now, with 24 commits. Very low player ratings. Iowa is 4th, with 22 commits. Also lower ratings. UNL is 11th, with only 10 commits. But they have the highest player rating in the West, right now, and are favorites for a number of higher-rated kids that Iowa, Minnie and UW all want.

Moving to -4 in my parts.    I know Big Jim doesn't have any say in these.

I like how this place went from "all games should be on Saturday at noon, no matter what!" to "we can't play a noon game, how are we supposed to recruit?!"

1PM games were the best. Then ESPN came along and set it up for 11, 2:30 and beyond.

I actually like this. Michigan seems to operate better when they don't have expectations.

I'm looking forward to seeing a depth chart today, at least from UW. Does Harbaugh still hold back on this stuff?

I would not expect to see a depth chart from Harbaugh.

Big roster injury question marks for Michigan are WR People-Jones, LT Runyan, RB Wilson, and DT Dwumfour.  The last I heard all were likely. And of course QB Patterson for which it will be three weeks since his oblique injury.

Don Brown is on record stating he "can't wait" to play Wisconsin.

Now that it’s game week- this is such an intriguing matchup. 

For Michigan- I expect them to go deep early and often.  They think they have an advantage in speed there, they want the early lead because they don’t think Wisconsin is effective playing from behind and they want the badgers in run pass conflict on defense.  

On defense- they are confident they can slow down Taylor and the run game, especially if the badgers are behind.  Then UM will bring the house on passing downs.  

Wisconsin on the other hand wants to keep UM off balance and in a bit of run pass conflict- and will likely break tendencies and pass, often deep. When they might otherwise handoff. They know if they can get even numbers in the box- Taylor will do is damage over time.  

On defense- they want to shut down the run and keep UM WRs in front of them- not allowing big plays.  They feel like over the course of a closer game- they can start to control the LOS.  

A battle of wills, and who can strike early or with Big Plays. 

Should be awesome!  No idea on who wins- but I do  expect UM to be much crisper on offense- two weeks of more reps makes a huge difference when installing this type of offense.  
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
