per WolverineWire:
In less than a week, Michigan will have an opportunity to pick up a season-opening road victory against a ranked opponent for the first time of the Jim Harbaugh era
A neutral site victory over Florida in 2017 not withstanding). On the surface, doing so would be a tall task for the Wolverines to accomplish but not an impossible one.
Entering Week 1's game against Minnesota, the AP has ranked Michigan at No. 18 in the country without playing a single snap. The Golden Gophers have also benefited from the Big Ten's late start to the season, and Minnesota stands at No. 21 in the nation as well.
Starting out in prime time
Facing ranked opponents on the road has long been a thorn in Coach Harbaugh's side, but U-M's head coach has an opportunity to rewrite that narrative on the national stage.
