At this point in the football season, you can see pretty much whatever you want to see.
Some things are obviously true and real statements of fact (Michigan's offense is the functional equivalent of a ball of paperclips held together with chewing gum and painter's tape), and other things are wishful thinking (the Wolverines losing every other game for the rest of the year by 50 points before the NCAA gives them the death penalty), but in early September it can be hard to tell the difference between the two.
I generally (generally!) try to be at least relatively impartial when assessing how good the Michigan football team is when writing Threat Level.
