Easily 11-0 going into the game
Maybe the most anticipated The Game in many years, we'll see what "m" has left from last year. Plus we'll also see the accumulated value of having Coach Harbaugh in Ann Arbor.

Everyone is hating on us because we have the least returning starters in college football. I think.

Well an observation resulting in lower rankings. I think it is an overreaction. We'll see.

Well 18 isn't so bad.
And almost two months until my favorite sport NCAA football!

At first on the FPI 130 I thought the B10 was well represented but on closer inspection:
1 OSU
8 PSU
10 WIS
18 M
29 NW
39 IOW
57 NEB (miss Bo now?)
58 MST (really?)
60 IND
61 MIN
69 MAR (was MAR & RUT a total bust?)
83 ILL (ILLINI fans ill)
88 RUT
98 PUR (gave up football for engineering? )
-
MST?

OSU wins it all this year. UM won't even be invited to a bowl game.

Lol. No matter what, Texas must be in every preseason football top 25. It is written in stone somewhere.
-
Returning starters is traditionally a pretty good indicator...
-
Traditionally, sure. There are a handful of exceptions in this case I'd argue

But, apparently the same does not hold true for A&M. In fact, I note that UT or is it TU...is the only Texas school on the entire list.

Some schools just reload. According to some, Alabama just lost an entire NFL defense to the pros...yet, they have the top ranking. Ohio State just lost 3 DBs to the first round....every one of which could have returned if they wanted to...and they still come in second place in this ranking.
Some other schools cannot do as well with a whole pile of losses to the pros or graduation. (Remains to be seen if Michigan is one of them. Of course, just in their division they have Penn St. and OSU rated ahead...and you have to ask yourself: can Michigan St. rebound after a bad year?)

Both of those schools have established coaches. Harbaugh will just now be entering his third year here. Anyone the follows CFB and sees how he's recruiting will know we'll get to that reload stage.
Recently, and for another season or so, we'll be dealing with some gaps in talent left by the previous staff.
That's part of the reason I'd say this giant loss in starters won't be as bad in this situation as it would be normally.
OSU also has 15 returning starters to our 5. It makes sense they aren't dropping far in the rankings.
If you've been following everything going on in east Lansing, you'd know the chances of a bounce back year are slim.

I haven't been following. I just know that Mark Dantonio has been one hell of a good coach.
What has been going on in East Lansing that would keep him from being a good coach? I mean, a few criminal arrests won't stop that.
