In this hour-long episode, we break down nine ways the Michigan football team can become national title contenders in 2020.

We begin by taking a look at four that ESPN's Bill Connelly recently outlined, discussing the merits of Connelly's concerns about offensive line, Michigan's youth, Don Brown's big-game defenses and red-zone efficiency.

Then, we start to come up with a few of our own, looking at Michigan's quarterback play, lineup holes, skill position players taking "the leap," the Wolverines blocking out detractors and Michigan's road-game struggles.

Along the way, we offer a bit of state-of-the-program discussion, peering into what the first five seasons of Jim Harbaugh's tenure have looked like and what is and is not working.
