According to the poll, the Wolverines have been predicted to finish fifth in the league this season and also received one first-place vote by a member of the media.

With Big Ten Media Days slated to take place this week, the conference does not produce a media poll but a watch list of five players from each division of the conference.

The Wolverines are hoping to bounce back after an 8-5 season in Sherrone Moore’s first year as head coach of the program. With a new offensive coordinator and the arrival of five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, the excitement is palpable in Ann Arbor as fall camp is expected to start next week.

Here’s how the Cleveland Dot Com poll looks:

  1. Penn State
  2. Ohio State
  3. Oregon
  4. Illinois
  5. Michigan
  6. Indiana
  7. Iowa
  8. Nebraska
  9. USC
  10. Washington
  11. Minnesota
  12. Wisconsin
  13. Michigan State
  14. Rutgers
  15. UCLA
  16. Maryland
  17. Northwestern
  18. Purdue
