With a 5-4 overall record and 3-3 record in the Big Ten, the Wolverines didn’t even receive any votes in either the AP Poll or the Coaches Poll. So without saying “just win,” what must Michigan do to crack into the top-25?

Looking at the schedule, Michigan plays at Indiana this week, at home against Northwestern, and then in Columbus for The Game.
