No, Northwestern wasn’t the most inspiring matchup for Michigan football in Week 8, and while the Wolverines handled business, the national media is somewhat in wait and see mode with fellow 7-0 Michigan State up next week.

Still, the maize and blue are getting mentioned, with one outlet finally including Michigan in its weekly roundup (weirdly, that wasn’t the case before Sunday), while the usual suspects are still high on the Wolverines. With MSU, Penn State, and Ohio State still on deck, there’s a lot more work to do, but the maize and blue are getting more love than the Spartans and Nittany Lions at this juncture.

Here is what the media is saying about Michigan football.
