I think our offense will be great next year with a full year under our belts, but the defense is so questionable. If Hankins and Roby stay, then it will definitely help some, but we are losing a lot on the defensive side. We have 2 five star guys in spence and Washington ready to step in as Sophs and contribute at wsde and dt, but the linebackers are such a question mark. Hopefully someone steps up from last years class and becomes the starter beside shazier.
Braxton is great though and will only get better at passing with another offseason and the rest of this season. And the o line is all back besides fragel at right tackle, and they have become a great group so far this year.

will lose a lot, but like this year, will certainly have players to replace. Bama will still be in the thick of it without a doubt. Only reason I gave those other teams the nod over Bama is the QB position. USC the only team on that list, not returning a starting QB

I expect Ohio State to be preseason No. 1 next year. Just a hunch.
Any idea why the Fiesta Bowl won't allow me to buy dibs on Ohio State tickets? The option isn't there and neither is Penn State so I assumed OSU was still on a bowl ban next year. It's weird and frustrating because I want to buy OSU dibs.

USC could very well be better next year. Will be better in the trenches, and may possibly have the best front 7 in the nation.
don't see it. Have been pointing to 2013 for 2 years now and still think that's our best chance at NC run. We lose KLM and Manti, but everyone else plus first guys off the bench return on front 7. Our young inexperienced DB's will have a full year under their belt. Only losing 3 starters on D. Very surprised by our 5-0 start this year, but loving every minute..

Maybe. The media loves Urbie (possibly because he worked with them for a year?). But it will play out much like USC this year. Everyone will focus on the flash and sizzle of the O and conveniently overlook that they have no D. You can't beat the very best teams without a defense. It has been that way since the beginning of time and every year we get headfaked by 2-3 teams putting up crazy numbers on offense only to see them go down in week 10 (or even the championship game) because they run into a team that is good on both sides of the ball. OSU has a long way to go on defense to get anywhere close to national championship level.

As a Michigan fan, I have no clue who will be starting at QB, so I'm not sure where you are getting that. Devin Gardner still wants to play QB, so I'm sure he will get a fair shot at it.
What's wrong with Rawls btw? You act like RBs have to be established to make an impact in the game.
I'm not saying Michigan is even going to be close to the running for the National Title next year, I'm just wondering why you are laughing at those two players, especially since they haven't had any meaningful playing time.
Seems like you are leaving the defense out of the discussion too.
