Phil Steele said recently that he went back 7 YEARS and could not find a division 1 team that only returned 6 starters, exccept for 2017 UM. It is unprecedented how much production they lose. How can vegas be excepting a bunch of freshman and sophomores who saw limited playing time last year to go out and beat an SEC team that is returning high levels of production from last year?

Michigan is not "reloading". Reloading is when you replace mass exodus of starters with 3rd or 4th year players who have seen ample playing time. Rebuilding is when you replace mass exodus of starters with diaper dandies. Michigan is in rebuild mode.

It is stunning that they are favored for florida, let alone being ranked number 10 in the country to start. No team that returns SIX starters should sniff the top ten.

Have you seen Florida attempt to play offense the last three seasons?

Harbaugh is a great coach. He will have them ready for a marquee game.

It's hurricane season and he's betting on The Gators taking the forfeit?

Florida just got one of the best QBS in the country, and they return almost everyone on offense.

Preseason rankings and stuff...

In all seriousness, UF is starting an unknown commodity at QB and replacing a ton on defense. It will be a close game that could easily go either way.

He's obviously not serious and trying a subtle troll. Any person with a little SEC knowledge knows that Florida does not return many Starters on D. Had a lot of guys get PT but most starters from a year ago are gone.

Lines are based on betting and Michigan fans are stupid.

Not sure but Harbaugh has lost the 5 or 6 biggest games of his Michigan tenure so who knows what'll happen

SEC East...makes sense. There is a reason Auburn is trying so hard to be moved to the East.

He didn't look close enough. Air Force returned 6 starters in 2012. UTSA and South Alabama returned 5 each in 2015. Ohio State returned 6 in 2016. The numbers are from HIS blogs.

The best QBs in the country don't end up being transfers dude.
