Tell me about the NEW Big Ten

[cancontent]

68-58 Michigan defeats Belmont. Not too impressive of a win. They had a turnover issue today.

Michigan did play tough defense throughout though. And they maximized their free points at the free throw line.

I say it every time I watch Michigan. But I can see why UConn wanted Olson.

I am hoping to see Michigan play Va Tech tomorrow.

I think Michigan is good. But may be a bit overrated. In addition to the Va Tech game. I want to see them against Oklahoma.

Not sure what you mean by overrated. They weren't expected to do much based on pre-season conference rankings. There was hype around their highly touted recruiting class with the likes of Swords and Olson. To me, they seem to be exceeding the expectations of some based on how they've started the season.

I feel like the opinion on them changed with the South Carolina performance. They immediately appeared in ESPN bracketology following the loss.

They are basically 26th in the country and almost certainly will be ranked if they beat Va Tech tomorrow. Vanderbilt and Tennessee are two teams that impress me that are below them in the “receiving votes” section.

So, I wouldn’t call them grossly overrated in the top 25. But I think they fit better in 30-40 range.

Totally fair, but like I said, they are exceeding expectations at this point, especially considering who left and the youth on their roster. Pre-season rankings have them finishing outside of the top 10 of the conference. Don't think many thought they'd start the season the way they have.
