Are they one of the elite teams in the country, no, are they 9-0 and just beat the 4th ranked team (FBS) poll, yes.
The coach (PJ Fleck) has been there for 3 years and is really turning the program around. No matter how the rest of the season goes, this is quite a story and a great turn around for the program which has not been much more than a 6-4 team or worse for many many years.

Tom, we aren’t in disagreement on anything.
Fleck is a better coach, no doubt about it. The team played harder, I said that.
Pat Fitzgerald has done similar things at Northwestern.
Fleck will likely soon have lots of job offers as has Fitzgerald. One of those offers may come from Michigan sometime in the foreseeable future.
It will be interesting to see what happens
