Many have wanted to crown UM as being back on top and sooner than expected for Harbought. I felt this historical perspective was necessary for those forgetting that the "pre-season" is not an indication of guaranteed success once they hit the Big Ten schedule. Point is, Jimmy is 4-1 against subpar teams (excepting Utah) so.... please do not give credit before it is deserved as the rest of the country does that for them already. This year they will be helped by terrible Rutgers / Maryland / Penn State teams almost gifting them a bowl game appearance.
Enjoy!

2015 Season - Harbaugh (started 4-1, predicted to finish 2-5) predicted overall 6-6 and sneak into a bowl. I had them at 5-7 at best coming into the season, but I didn't expect Maryland, BYU, and Penn State to be so terrible.

2015 Season - Harbaugh (started 4-1, predicted to finish 2-5) predicted overall 6-6 and sneak into a bowl. I had them at 5-7 at best coming into the season, but I didn't expect Maryland, BYU, and Penn State to be so terrible.
