In week one, Washington screwed the pooch, against a good FCS Montana team. Michigan looked competent against Western Michigan, usually a decent MAC team. Advantage Wolverines. Now, did Washington look so bad, because they were looking ahead to the game in Ann Arbor, or it was week one, and they were simply underprepared? I find it hard to believe that the Huskies actually suck THAT bad. Was the game against the Broncos, just a warm-up for this Michigan squad (better things expected), or that was the team we should expect in week two? I expect the Wolverines to be a respectably good team this year, on a level with Wisconsin, an improvement over the way they have looked in recent seasons. I am Bullish on the B1G this season, I see quality all over the conference in Iowa, Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan and others. The Wolverines need this game, to get off to a good start, and avoid the disappointments that have become normal, in recent years. To be respected as a conference, we need Michigan to be successful.
