Time to channel my inner Paul Heyman, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, your reigning, defending, undisputed Big Ten Champions, the Michigan Wolverines!” After 18 long years, the Wolverines finally claimed their first out-right Big Ten title after dominating Iowa 42-3 in Indianapolis.
And for the first time in a long time, Michigan is fortunate enough to be in a position to embrace the difficult challenge of defending a conference championship. And with that challenge comes several teams attempting to dethrone the Wolverines. While three contenders already stand apart, an unexpected challenger could rise from the ashes, much like Michigan did last season.
