Can someone please tell me whey Michigan is considered "elite" already? I mean they had a good season but they didn't overpower anyone and they breaking in another transfer quarterback.

I think they have Michigan highly ranked because of their easy schedule.
They open with Hawaii, Central Florida, and Colorado at home before they begin their Big 10 schedule---they could be undefeated before they play Ohio State at the end of the year where they will probably lose. IMO.

[South Bender]

Putting Tennessee at #7 causes this list to lose all credibility.

Yeah, everybody's in love with the Vols. I guess based partly on what is perceived as a generally weak SEC East.

I think Navy beats Florida last year

Not so sure about being an FSU fan although that would make a lot of sense. As far as making ND fans look bad he's reached the pinnacle of success.
