Let's start out with the 2024 schedule first. Most college football analysts believe Michigan is a good team this year with one caveat, "they haven't played anyone yet". That will not be the case next season as Michigan will play a boat load of good teams in the new Big Ten.
In 2024 (AP rankings are current of this week): Michigan will play #7 Washington, #8 Oregon, #9 Texas, #10 USC, and of course #3 OSU. The one missing conference rival is Penn State who is not on Michigan's schedule next season. I knew Michigan was going to have a difficult path in this new league, as everyone wants made for TV match-ups with big names.
