I can't imagine I'll be the only one doing this. Resume is strong, defense looks like an NBA team with their rotations, offense clicking. |

Had them here last week. Defense is elite as heck, and offense will improve. |

Have a case for number 1, but haven't had any real challenge yet. Michigan game will be hype and a real test. |

Michigan State is wholly unimpressive right now. Classic Izzo stuff, but that Virginia Tech loss was bad |

Didn't look great against ISU, but still won. That sells me. That was a team that looks good offensively. |
