To be real, though, Michigan has been on the short list at the end of November throughout Harbaugh's tenure. That's the definition of a healthy program -- in the parlance of James Franklin: maybe a great team, not an elite one. It's also falling short of getting over the hump, which isn't sustainable long-term. Given 2008-2014, I'm satisfied and becoming satisfied took the program some doing. But of course there will eventually be a time when a lot more is expected. MDot is already there. So are other Michigan fans. But I don't think that's a majority. It might not even be close to a majority.
