The preseason hype for the Michigan football team continues to build.
The Wolverines are ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press preseason poll, released Monday. Michigan debuted at No. 2 last week in the preseason coaches poll.
Michigan finished last season at 13-1 with its second straight Big Ten title, its season halted with a 51-45 national semifinal loss to TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Michigan returns a number of weapons on offense, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy, and its backfield tandem of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards. Corum is returning from a knee injury.
