Five games into the season, there are no illusions as to who the Michigan Wolverines are. There is plenty of time for growth, and that is the expectation, but as of this moment, this team would struggle against most Power Six opponents. The Wolverines are lucky to own a 5-1 record, and both Kenpom (No. 55) and Torvik (No. 68) are far from impressed thus far.
The schedule is about to heat up dramatically with a visit from the Virginia Cavaliers on Tuesday in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, followed by a trip to London to face Kentucky on Sunday.
