Sure, being the best team in the first week means nothing. But exactly how much nothing? I was a bit surprised to find out the answer.

This isn't to say Week 1 knows all, but the direction of Week 1 has been pretty revealing for MU since 2023.

Thanks for the article. This season should be fun. Let's beat Michigan. I think they will.

Michigan people in the know think they're a pretty average team this year. Still working on rotations and combos which is not a surprise given what they lost. This game may be a case where continuity works in Marquette's favor like in '23 and '24 non-con.
Yep. Completely agree.
