I don't agree with Michigan being behind Nebraska and MSU, but the conference this year is basically Wisconsin and then everyone else anyway. Every other team has big question marks. MSU losing Appling and Harris made me think they wouldn't start out as high unless Travis Trice paid off the voters. I figured Michigan would be around #20. They lost a lot, but they should develop into a pretty solid group over the course of the season. I'm thrilled the season is coming up!

You'd think they would learn by now that JB is a hell of a coach, and Walton, Irvin, and Levert are just going to be better than last year.

But I guess the big question is down low.. They don't have Morgan/Horford anymore. So how good is Wilson and Donnal going to be? All 6'-9" and all freshman.

CLE12342 · 10-17-2014, 07:50 AM

Just glad my Buckeyes are ranked. Slam Thompson, Trevor Thompson, and Shannon Scott are going to have a big year for us! Can't wait to see D'Angelo Russell and David Bell (meet him a few times), ball out!

Junior Griffey · 10-17-2014, 07:58 AM

Michigan will miss Morgan, but Doyle/Donnal/Wilson should provide more scoring down low, which I'll gladly take after the past few seasons.

Probably another early loss against one of Villanova/Syracuse/Arizona/maybe SMU, but they have a good start to conference play...plus they only play Wisconsin once, in Ann Arbor.

Donnal is a red shirt freshman, so he has been on campus for a year and should know the system. Wilson/Doyle are question marks. I'd expect Doyle to red shirt.

Junior Griffey · 10-17-2014, 08:55 AM

I have a good feeling about Wilson. Doyle too. Hopefully they can afford to redshirt him, but I'm sure Beilein will make the right call either way.

Looking forward to watching the Buckeyes this season with their talented recruiting class and Trevor Thompson coming in as a transfer. They could definitely make some noise this year.

Good for Austin Hatch. What that kid has been through is unbelieveable.

Bucky (Wisconsin) should roll through the BIG 10 this year.

Are you trying to establish that all the teams/people I root for never win a title?
