CHICAGO — Jim Harbaugh liked his team this spring. He likes his team in July, too.
Earlier this week, Michigan football was picked by a panel of Big Ten media members as the favorite to win the league this season. Asked for his thoughts on being the preseason championship pick during Big Ten media days in Chicago, Harbaugh gave his response.
"That's where I'd pick us," he said.

Michigan, of course, hasn't won a Big Ten title since the 2004 team won a share of the championship.
