CBS Sports did not include Michigan football's running back unit in its top 10 rankings, despite their strong potential. The Wolverines finished last season with a top-15 rushing attack, hindered by injuries to key players Justice Haynes and Jordan Marshall. Marshall is expected to return healthy, joining five-star recruit Savion Hiter and occasional starter Bryson Kuzdzal in a revamped run-first offense under coordinator Jason Beck. The omission has raised questions among Michigan fans about the rankings' accuracy.
