Michigan is in a transition year so osu is favored this time, which is expected. The good news for Michigan is they can lose to osu and still make the playoff as long as they don’t lose 2-3 games. On the other hand the pressure is on Day to snap the streak and avoid losing to Michigan a 4th straight time.

@@zacharymyers3358 so Michigan will have a new QB, Edwards returning, same scary defense, and a warmup game against Fresno State. They play Texas and Oregon at home. Those are their two toughest home games. Texas lost almost as much as Michigan did this offseason. Oregon starting a new QB. Neither of those teams could beat Washington who Michigan just throttled in the NC. USC is not a threat, msu is not a threat, they’re at Washington with a new coach and also a new QB. It’s possible they could lose to Oregon or Texas but assuming they’ll lose both, fine go ahead and underestimate Michigan like always. Of course they play at osu which Osu will be favored but they don’t have a ton of confidence against Michigan these days. Michigan isn’t going to beat down teams by 30 points like they did last year but the defense is going to do what they do and as long as Orji takes care of the ball they will be better than you think.

No. The mindset hasn’t changed. Their trenches don’t have the mentality of moving the opposition against their will. Until that’s fixed, the result will stay the same. Not even hating that’s just what it is. And unless Seth McLaughlin suddenly isn’t scared of Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, and unless they figure out how to slow down Josiah Stewart and Derrick Moore, it’s gonna be tough especially without Marvin Harrison Jr. I don’t see anybody on their defense that will make a difference in the run game. If we wanna run it for 4 yards a carry on you, we’re going to. That’s just a fact. Until those facts change, Michigan 35 Ohio State 23.

I love how Klatt just glosses over the fact that Michigan has zero starts returning on their o-line, zero starts returning at QB, only one or two starters returning on defense (they lost a 44-man senior class because of COVID), the entire coaching staff bolted for the NFL because they didn’t want to stick around to see Rome burn. Also, Michigan doesn’t even recruit particularly well. The last 3 seasons were the exception for their football program, not the rule (and they had to cheat and capitalize on the easiest schedule ever in order to have the success that they did have). This year you will see the hardest regression towards the mean of any football program ever, which is to say that Michigan will resume in its place as a regional football “power” of no national significance. Unlike last year, their schedule this year is actually tough. It’s honestly difficult to find 8 wins on their schedule. Michigan will be fortunate to finish the season ranked, much less in the playoff conversation.
