  "account": "Earlier this week, the preseason AP Top 25 Poll was unveiled, and Michigan secured the 16th position. To gauge fan opinions, we inquired about their thoughts on Michigan's ranking, and the results are in. A majority of fans, 65%, are satisfied with Michigan's ranking, while 24% believe it is too low, and 11% feel it is too high. The resurgence of the program after two unimpressive seasons under former head coach Sherrone Moore appears to be garnering positive attention. New head coach Kyle Whittingham has assembled a solid staff, bolstered the roster through the transfer portal, and expects key players to return, including quarterback Bryce Underwood, running back Jordan Marshall, and receiver Andrew Marsh. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Michigan currently has the fifth-highest odds of winning the Big Ten Championship at +1500. We invite you to share your vote in the comments and join us next week for another installment of SB Nation Reacts.",
