1. Michigan - OL has come along nicely the past few weeks as they got the starting 5 set with Henderson at LT and Barnhart back to RT and Myles Hinton to the bench. JJ has been forging a strong connection with speedster Roman Wilson who has emerged as the go to WR. TE room looks fantastic with Loveland & Barner. Defense is very deep and very talented. Front 7 is legit. And deep. Secondary is getting better as their two best players back there- FS Rod Moore and CB Will Johnson have gotten back into game shape after missing a lot of time to start the season. Saw a lot of run and some flashes this week from some big freshman CBs with big-time potential in 6'4" RS Frosh Amorion Walker and 6'3" true frosh DJ Waller. Eye test is telling me this is clearly the deepest, most talented, best team that Jeem has ever had in his tenure at Michigan. That won't mean anything if they can't cash it in with a B1G title and playoff trip. As good as their offense has been in B1G play, Donovan Edwards' lack of production continues to be a conundrum. If he can find his groove again this team can actually go to another level on offense- which is kinda scary. #7 needs to start playing like he did last year and asap.
2. Ohio State - Offense has big-time talent at the skill positions and Kyle McCord continues to just win games, no one in the B1G has a better pair of wins right now than OSU with W's over ND & Penn State. Defense is legit and one of the tops in the country. Oh and Marvin Harrison Jr is the best player in the country imo- and I don't think that is particularly close or even up for debate. Ohio State remains the biggest threat to Michigan's bid for a three-peat in the B1G imo.
3. Penn State - the offense is leaving a lot more questions than answers. they have a great 1-2 punch at RB but lack playmakers at WR/TE, the OL is pretty meh, and after watching Allar vs Ohio State- starting to have questions about him. That defense is legit though- super talented, athletic, and deep.
