It is total bullshit that writers in the media and fans alike are making the claim that Michigan is "making the Big Ten look bad". I love the Wolverines, but I am really sick and tired of the media putting the entire perception of the conference on the shoulders of the Maize and Blue. The fact is that Notre Dame, Utah, Minnesota, and Rutgers were all underrated teams to start the season and time will only tell who the real players are on the national scene. 
All I see is parity in the world of college football. For example, did anybody envision Indiana beating an SEC team that was in their respective conference championship game last December? Did anybody predict that Ole Miss, Mississippi State,Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and Arizona would all be riding a perfect record heading into the midway point of the season? The answer is "NO!".
The truth is that there are a lot of good teams out there and the rankings, once again, don't tell the entire tale of the tape. The SEC East appears to be just as big of a dumpster fire as either of the Big Ten divisions right now. Hell, who knows what the hell is going to happen next week in Gainesville because Florida's program looks like a bigger mess than their little 3-1 record suggests. The ACC has, at the most, two good teams and the Pac-12 has several, none of which is either USC or Stanford.
So, for the love of god can we just let the season play out a little bit more before we start calling for heads and anointing champions? At the very least, let's not place the entire hope of a Power 5 conference on one freaking program!

2020 Recruiting Class Among the Top in the Nation (whether you believe it or not).

-
Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan coaching staff are wrapping things up for the 2020 recruiting class to mixed reviews. It's hard to argue against the talent they did acquire, but most detractors point to the lack of 5-Stars and the few big whiffs on top recruits to end the cycle. The simple fact of the matter is that it is another class by Harbaugh that ranks among the top 10% of college programs. In other words, with a 12th ranked rectuiting class, they were still better than 118 of the other 129 teams out there. Anyway I look at it, it still amazes me how people can be upset about it. Yes, it is true that they are not landing the big-time top-heavy classes that Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson continue to land, but that is okay. It has to be okay because that's just not where the Wolverines are at right now. It is still a lot better than most though. And just ask Texas, UCLA, Tennessee, USC, and Nebraska fans how they would feel about the prospect of playing the Crimson Tide

The Must-Get Prospects of 2022 - UPDATED By Position

-
High Priorities:  Defensive Secondary: One of the most important position groups to focus on in this cycle. Michigan only signed two DB's last year, so there could be as many as six DB prospects taken in this round of recruiting. It's a good thing that there are a lot of quality prospects in play here and it's even better than some of them are already committed.  Will Johnson 5-Star (Gross Pointe, MI) Grade: 98 - COMMITTED The 2022 recruiting class is loaded with top-notch prospects at corner. Johnson is by all measures a top 15 overall recruit and being that he is an in-state legacy prospect, one couldn't find a bigger "must-get" player in any cycle. Wherever he goes he should immediately be competing for playing time and he has the raw skills to become a shutdown player at the next level. He is the number one player on Michigan's board, period.  Chace Biddle 4-Star (Garland, TX) Grade: 86 - Is a big name out of Texas that is high on the Michigan bo

Recruiting Class, 2021 - The Final Positional Grades

-
 Quarterback  J.J. McCarthy  5-Star  (6'3"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not the biggest kid or the passer with the strongest arm. He's just the best QB prospect that Harbaugh has brought to Michigan so far, and he is enrolled early to learn the offense this spring. Positional Grade: A- Running Back Donovan Edwards 5 -Star  (5'11"/190lbs) Grade: 92 - Not only did Harbaugh sign the best quarterback of his Michigan head coaching career but he also signed the best running back so far too. Edwards brings a ton of speed to the table and can take it to the house on any given play. He was just awarded First Team All-American by Max Preps will get reps as a freshman after enrolling early too. Tavierre Dunlap  4-Star  (6'0"/195lbs) Grade: 79 - A very solid back that could compliment Edwards well. He is a bit bigger and has some decent wheels in his own right, though he is not as fast as Edwards. He could be a starter someday too. He too is enrolled early. Positional  Grad
