22nd, with only a partial recruiting class that's still ranked well ahead of WVU's class. 18 starters returning, plus a stud transfer QB from Ole Miss, as well as a grad transfer safety from Utah. Perhaps you might remember him playing against WVU back in December.
Michigan is in a nightmare situation that Nebraska May find themselves in five years.
Either Harbaugh is the best they can get and they have to admit that their program is not as strong as they believe or they fire Harbaugh and move on.
That will show a lack of class because Harbaugh could have any job he wanted but he picked his Alma mater.
Out of the three programs that do not have much talent in state but have great histories I think Michigan has the best chance to win again though.
For two reasons. Michigan fans are not as reactionary as others and because Michigan does not play in the SEC.
Michigan has to rebuild a program.
As much as people celebrate Rich Rodriguez, some of his actions damaged Michigan long term.
I thought by now Michigan would have rebounded but they came close. That Michigan St game could have went either way a few years back.
If Michigan gives Harbaugh four-six more years they will see a difference.
Tennessee has more talent at their disposable but a tougher schedule.
Nebraska needs a miracle to reclaim their past glory.
Unless Scott Frost is given the patience he deserves.
Problem with Frost is that offense does not win championships and both Harbaugh and Pruitt are defensive minded coaches unlike Frost.
Nebraska would have had a better chance if they stayed in the Big XII. Give another three years and the players in Texas won’t ever remember who they are.
Do not forget Oklahoma was in the same position before they joined the Big XII.
Texas recruits brought back winning to Oklahoma.
Nebraska could not keep their false pride in check for that to happen.
