Not sure how to feel about the Michigan spot. 10-7 with some losses and close ones to bad teams last year, but they did get hot at the right time. Lose Zawada but Christian Ronda and Beau Pederson from princeton are very nice portal grabs. Also got Justin Tiernan from Lehigh, who is a large quality off ball type. Believe they also have to replace a lot of their middie depth. Wins like their ones against MD look less impressive in hindsight since MD really started to struggle towards the end of the season.

Tough to predict who will sustain the success out of the big 10 next season. Tried to find my top 10 predictions from last season and I certainly valued the Ivys who made runs in the tourney far too much. But they are not able to do the same grad transfer reload that others can. Think I would find a spot for Michigan in my top 10 and put a team like yale out. Brandau and Bragg are big losses and they made no big moves on their disastrous defensive end in the offseason (at least that I know of). Hard to see what would turn it around for them on that end of the field in one year.

This may be not a huge factor for Mich, but they had a killer middie dodger Justin Brown who must have been hurt last season. Not a bunch of points but could draw slides with ease. If he is back that could be a nice boost too.
