We should definitely be above Michigan and Nebraska. Neither have looked impressive.

Agree on Nebraska. I don't know what to think about Michigan yet. They struggled a bit in non-conference last season, too, although nothing quite as bad as losing to NJIT. They looked pretty good in the Villanova game as I thought both teams played at a pretty high level in that one.

Michigan has strugged in the NC several years in a row. There is reason to fear a team that can put enough together to beat Syracuse. However, the loss against NJIT alone should drop them considerably in the current performance category.
