Every goal is attainable

If there was any doubt about whether or not this Michigan football team is a true playoff contender, there isn’t anymore.

Michigan beat down Iowa on the road and smacked a Penn State team that everyone said was good until they ran into the Wolverines.

Tennessee and Clemson are probably ahead of Michigan in the playoff pecking order but if the Wolverines win the Big Ten, they will obviously go. Even if they don’t, an 11-1 Wolverines squad will certainly deserve some consideration.

At the very least, getting back to the playoff isn’t a pipe dream. It’s very realistic as is repeating as the Big Ten champs. Ohio State is going to be a battle, but the game feels like a toss-up and if the Wolverines head to Columbus unbeaten, you never know.
