ESPN Names Michigan as a 2018 Playoff Contender
Here's the (link). Unfortunately, it's accompanied by some silly talk on Harbaugh hype. Worth noting that the list intentionally excludes current CFP participants. Among others making an appearance: Auburn, Stanford, and both Ohio State and Penn State.

Dunno how much they would have contributed, but looks like at least one was being counted on:

Losing a lot of key veterans. They are likely to be similar to Michigan 2017. Not to the point of continuity yet where they can absorb key losses and simply plug in and keep rolling.
Show me a good college football team and you'll see NFL watch list upper classmen and a good head coach. Never fails.

Why not? There were 2 SEC teams this year.
Michigan loses to PSU and wins the B1G championship. OSU loses to Michigan and PSU loses to OSU.
Three, 1 loss teams.

Pete says Harbaugh is most over rated entity of all time, but he wants in on the next Rome trip on Ross's dime.

UM Regent Ron Weiser has agreed to match all donations from Chase Winovich's @chadtough drive, up to $1M. Currently we are near $130k.

I posted in the #chadtough topic 12 down, but I know not everyone will still look at topics that are 12 down on the main board. I thought it was too cool not to share in the latest board post.

I was wondering if someone was going to step up and do that. I thought Harbaugh might because I can't see him going orange but wanting to be part of what was going on.
It is really cool to see someone outside the football program jump in.

Tony Gibson's defense loses a few more important pieces, but returns its most important player in linebacker David Long, and promising youngsters such as playmaking safety Kenny Robinson.
Well, Tony Gibson's defense wasn't looking too swift yesterday. I don't know about the Mountaineers suddenly emerging from the Big XII just like that...

If we go 8-4 or something next year than it will be fair for people to have "the discussion." I generally agree with the take that Harbaugh is the "best coach that Michigan is going to get," but at some point it has to translate to wins and championships. I am realistic about what this program is and what it can be, but Harbaugh was brought in and paid a shit ton of money to raise the ceiling, here. That hasn't happened as of right now. He has had some really shitty luck along the way, granted, but he needs to have a "signature year" next year or things are not going to be as comfortable as they have been so far.

Place a period after carry on! Very astute.

mehhh. A large segment of Michigan fans had that discussion constantly this year. It's ultimately meaningless.
Harbaugh isn't going anywhere and shouldn't. 12-0 or 8-4 next year. He doesn't serve at the whim of fans who can't take some dork heat from their State buddies on social media.
Thankfully.
December 27th, 2017 at 9:05 AM ^
but we are expecting to win something at some point, right? Or is it really that he can go 8-4 or 9-3 for as long as he wants and it is all good? You're right, he doesn't serve "at the whim of fans" and that is a good thing, but does he serve without any expectations at all? If anything, I think the discussion is premature but I don't think it is meaningless.
