Jim Harbaugh has reached 10 victories in three of his four seasons as Michigan's head football coach, though it's his losses that garner the most attention.

The Wolverines appear to be poised to at least reach double figures again next season, with at least two "post-spring" top 25 rankings — from CBS Sports and the Sporting News — recently slotting them in at No. 9.

And, though Michigan is an early favorite in every game next season, it doesn't figure to be easy.

"The Wolverines have the eighth-best record among Power 5 teams since Jim Harbaugh arrived at Ann Arbor in 2015, but the only record that gets air time is 0-4," Bill Bender, national college football writer for the Sporting News, explains.
