Assuming they continue at this average, quality wise it will definitely be closer to #20 than #10. DFBIA is still claiming superiority over the rest of the B1G outside of Ohio State, when in reality currently in this class they are basically on par with Peds, Bucky, Iowa and not too far ahead of Maryland and Nebraska

How each top 2020 college football team becomes a national title contender

Michigan Wolverines (+3,500)
If ... 2021 arrives early. Jim Harbaugh doesn't share depth charts, but if he did, you'd notice something pretty quickly about 2020's: almost no seniors. There might be only five or six senior starters and almost no final-year backups. The Wolverines' returning production figures will therefore skyrocket next season, but this season will see a young cast of characters.

That's not to say there's not talent. From running backs Zach Charbonnet and Hassan Haskins to offensive tackle Jalen Mayfield to linebacker Cameron McGrone and safety Daxton Hill, the sophomore class alone is loaded with difference-makers. But they'll need to mature at mach speed for the Wolverines to break through. Harbaugh's next big swing is probably a year away.

If ... a new offensive line jells. Charbonnet and Haskins were brilliant late in 2019 (as was the Michigan offense as a whole), but their degree of difficulty will increase considerably with both a new quarterback (likely either Dylan McCaffrey or Joe Milton) and a new line. Mayfield is the only returning starter, and only two others have seen much rotation time. That's a less-than-optimal combination for sustaining improvement.

If ... Big Game Don Brown returns. The Michigan defense has ranked 11th or better in defensive SP+ in every year of the Harbaugh era; Don Brown remains one of the best coordinators around. But the magic has vanished versus elite offenses. Against Alabama, Ohio State and Wisconsin in 2019 and Florida and Ohio State in 2018, the Wolverines allowed 46 points per game and 7.6 yards per play. Brown's defense is boom-or-bust by nature, but that's a lot of busts. Needless to say, that must change.

If ... the red zone is friendlier. Scoring opportunities were a net loss for the Wolverines, something you almost never see from an otherwise good team. The Michigan offense averaged 4.9 points per scoring opportunity (34th in FBS), but the defense allowed 5.0 (115th). That edge must flip significantly. Last season's CFP teams averaged a plus-1.1-point margin here (including Oklahoma's awful red zone defense), not minus-0.1.

If ... the sun doesn't come up in the morning.

If ... the Pope's not catholic.

If ... the bear doesn't shit in the woods.

and so on and so on......:slappy:
