With an 8-2 overall record and just one loss to a Big Ten opponent (the USC Trojans), the Michigan Wolverines have all but cemented themselves within the top 25 this year.
Even with a loss to the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes (because everyone loses to them), the Wolverines would likely finish the regular season ranked. However, this week's game could ruin that possibility.
No, the Maryland Terrapins haven't posed a big threat to most teams this season. So far, they've gone 4-6 overall and are 1-6 in conference play, only defeating the Wisconsin Badgers.
