ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- If anyone makes jokes about Michigan aiming to win its first Big Ten title since 2004 and national championship since 1997, thats exactly the reaction Jim Harbaugh wants.If people arent making fun of you for what your dreams are and what your goals are, then you havent set those goals and dreams high enough, Harbaugh said.Michigan went 10-3 last season, doubling its wins from the previous year in coach Brady Hokes final season. The Wolverines surpassed modest expectations, but were humbled by losing to Ohio State for the 11th time in 12 years and heartbroken by a seventh setback in eight games to Michigan State.Here are some things to watch as Harbaugh begins his second season in Ann Arbor:THREE-WAY PLAYERSJabrill Peppers and Jourdan Lewis, both of whom are primarily used on defense, are expected to take some snaps on offense. And they will likely return some punts and kicks, too.While Peppers was used on offense to run, catch and throw the ball, Lewis has only been used as a kickoff returner outside of his role as a cornerback. Lewis is thankful his lobbying efforts with Harbaugh appear to have paid off.Ive been in his ear about playing on offense since he got here, Lewis said. Ive always wanted to do it here to help the team win, and Im glad it looks like Im going to get a chance to do it.NEW DCThe Wolverines relative success last season led to Maryland hiring their defensive coordinator, D.J. Durkin, to lead its program. Harbaugh hired Boston College defensive coordinator Don Brown, who helped the Eagles rank among the nations best defenses even though they won just three games last season.KEY GAMESThe Wolverines have a daunting road schedule that includes the Buckeyes, Spartans and Iowa. They do get to host five teams to open the season and play a total of eight games at the Big House. Michigan might be 7-0 on Oct. 29 when it faces Michigan State in East Lansing, where the Wolverines havent won since 2007. Michigan will close the regular season Nov. 26 at Ohio State, where the Wolverines are winless since 2000.SEASON OPENERMichigan opens the season Sept. 3 against Hawaii with Michael Jordan scheduled to be on hand as an honorary captain because the Wolverines are the first football team to wear Jordan Brand apparel.After everyone gets done looking at Jordan and Harbaugh, they will shift to the player who ends up taking snaps for the maize and blue. Harbaugh appears to have up to four choices for quarterback, but appears to choosing between John OKorn and Wilton Speight. OKorn threw 34 touchdowns and started 16 games at Houston before transferring to Michigan and sitting out last year. The 6-foot-6 Speight threw a game-winning touchdown pass late in a game last year at Minnesota in relief of injured starter Jake Rudock.Harbaugh, who played quarterback at Michigan and in the NFL, has a track record of developing signal callers in college and with the San Francisco 49ers.Hes the best quarterbacks coach around, OKorn said. Its an opportunity of a lifetime.PREDICTIONMichigan will win 11 games, surpassing last seasons total. Loses on the road to rivals Ohio State and Michigan State, though, hold Harbaugh back from having a special season in his second year.---Online: AP College football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Khyri Thomas Jersey .

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Lionel Messi is back, and thats the best news Barcelona could have ahead of its Champions League match at Celtic.Messi practiced with the team on Monday, after missing the match against Malaga in the Spanish league because of illness. With Luis Suarez also absent through suspension, Barcelona could not manage more than a 0-0 draw. Both forwards will be in squad to face Celtic on Wednesday.What Messi means for Barcelona is easy to see just by looking at numbers, even without considering the inspirational things he can do on the field.Messi had hat tricks against Celtic and Manchester City in earlier Group C matches and has a total of 90 Champions League goals, including seven hat tricks.Perhaps surprisingly, Barcelona still has not sealed a spot in the last 16, but could do it with one match to spare. With nine points, Barcelona needs a win or a draw to advance, depending on other results.After winning 7-0 at home against Celtic, Barcelona may have the mental edge. But Celtic will have something to prove after its biggest European defeat.---GROUP AFirst place in the group is the prize when Arsenal hosts Paris Saint-Germain in a meeting between the top two.Both teams have 10 points and are guaranteed to advance to the knockout stage, but still to be determined is which club finishes at the top -- most likely earning an easier game in the last 16.They drew 1-1 in Paris, so the winner in the return match in London will secure first place based on their head-to-head record.Ludogorets Razgrad is at home against FC Basel in the groups other game.---GROUP BThe group is still wide open and even last-place Dynamo Kiev can advance to the last 16, although it has only one point ahead of visiting Napoli.Napolis campaign has stalled with one point from the last two matches. But the Italian side will advance wiith a win, provided Benfica also wins.ddddddddddddBenfica leads the group with seven points and visits Besiktas, which has six. Benfica goes through with a win. Besiktas advances if it wins and Napoli doesnt.Dynamo can only stay in contention with a win and Besiktas fails to do so. Otherwise, Dynamo cannot finish higher than fourth.---GROUP CYaya Toure inspired City to a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday, but the former Ivory Coast midfielder will be back out of the team against Borussia Moenchengladbach because he is not a member of Citys Champions League squad for the group stage.Ilkay Gundogan is likely replace Toure in midfield after the Germany international was rested over the weekend, along with John Stones and David Silva.City only needs a draw to progress, provided Celtic doesnt beat Barcelona. Celtic stays in contention with a win, as long as City fails to take three points. Moenchengladbach needs to win to retain a chance of reaching the knockout stage for the first time.---GROUP DAtletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are through and Atletico will take first place in the group if it beats PSV Eindhoven at home and Bayern draws or loses in Rostov.Atletico has beaten Bayern and has 12 points, while Bayern has nine.Bayern slumped to its first Bundesliga defeat at Borussia Dortmund over the weekend and will be without goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who has a calf injury. Sven Ulreich will replace him.
