In a week where the Michigan Wolverines were idle, ...the path for the Wolverines to be a viable contender in the Big Ten seems more realistic than ever. After watching an Illinois team barely scrape by USC, Ohio State dismantle Washington, and Penn State meet a devastating end to their overtime game against Oregon, the Big Ten seems wide open for Michigan football.
The Wolverines have a favorable schedule where their only true test may be when they travel to California to play USC, which is only a test due to the fact that the Wolverines have to travel across the country.
