ANN ARBOR -- The preseason Associated Press football poll is out, and Michigan is in the top 10.

MLive’s Wolverines crew discusses the team’s No. 7 ranking and how it compares to the other teams in the Big Ten.

Michigan’s position battle at right tackle also has been settled, albeit under unfortunate circumstances. With Andrew Stueber out indefinitely after suffering a leg injury in practice, redshirt freshman Jalen Mayfield is now getting all of the starting reps.

The crew also discusses what Michigan's new up-tempo pro-spread offense might look like when it takes the field against Middle Tennessee State on Aug. 31.

Michigan Stadium also will be offering several new food and beverage options at games this season. MLive reporters Ryan Zuke and Aaron McMann tried several of the new items and shared their thoughts on the podcast.

Lastly, Andrew Kahn provides a summer updated on the basketball team.
