Key word: ‘had.’ The Wolverines are starting to piece things together now that it’s summer official visit season and one player who visited Ann Arbor last week declared that he had seen enough.

Jun. 14—*** IMHO, college football has always been great. Pretty much everything about it. But this year, will be the greatest. More playoff teams than ever before, which expands the realistic chance of a non-power winning it all. Oh sure, it will probably be Alabama or Georgia or Ohio State. But I won’t be stunned if a less-familiar name makes …

This coming college football season is going to be vastly different from what fans are used to. There will be a college football video game for the first time in a decade, teams are changing conferences left and right, but perhaps one aspect a lot of forgetting is the expanded playoff system that will be implemented this year. Twelve teams, …
