per Joe:
It’s easy to get distracted by the noise surrounding Jim Harbaugh — the rap video, the recruiting slumber parties, the endless satellite camp controversy — and overlook the actual football turnaround at Michigan.
The Wolverines lost seven games two years ago under Brady Hoke, including a 16-point drubbing by the Gophers at Michigan Stadium. Last year, Harbaugh’s squad finished 10-3 and pounded Florida in the Citrus Bowl.
With a star-laden roster, and sure answers for most questions except starting quarterback, Michigan is a trendy pick for the College Football Playoff.
Harbaugh’s timing is perfect. The Big Ten East’s two other powers — Michigan State and Ohio State — lost staggering amounts of talent. The Spartans must replace six first-team All-Big Ten selections, and the Buckeyes had 12 players picked in the NFL draft.
“The message is simple: We want our dreams to be big. We want our goals to be lofty. We want to dream those dreams so much that people would laugh at us,” Harbaugh said. “If they’re not laughing at us, then we haven’t set high enough goals.”
