Northwestern has been really good on defense thus far...really good! We will see how good they really are as a team this week when they travel to Ann Arbor. Biggest game in the B1G this week. This game is going to be a good one! If Northwestern can win this game, will the Polls finally take them seriously? If you go off resume alone, then why isnt Northwestern ranked much higher? They beat 4-1 Stanford and they won at 4-1 Duke, yet they are only 13th? At this point they have one of the best resume's in college football. Their schedule gets tough the next 4 weeks!

Love for Fitz is the one thing everyone in the B1G can agree on. Well, that, and hatred of Tom Crean.

I really haven't seen much of Northwestern. No idea what to expect. The Michigan offense should be a little better than against Maryland if DeVeon Smith returns, but the D may take a step back as one of their good LBs may have blown his achilles. The line opened at 12, which is ridiculous, but is down to 8.

I agree. They've lost some heartbreakers over the last few years once they've gotten into conference play, but their defense is legit now. Their division looks wide open as well.
