The Michigan Wolverines will be featuring a new starting quarterback, two new running backs, several other new offensive weapons, and new defensive players from the line to the secondary. Despite all the turnover from last season, the media members that cover the conference still believe Michigan will be a Top-5 team in the Big Ten in 2025.
In the 15th annual Cleveland.com Preseason Big Ten Football Poll, the Wolverines were picked to finish No. 5 in the conference this fall. The four teams above them, in order, are Penn State (11 first-place votes), Ohio State (10), Oregon (2) and Illinois.
