The Michigan Wolverines’ season is just over a week away! Today, we go game-by-game and make an official prediction for how the Wolverines will do in 2025:

It's August and no games have been played, but that's not keeping ESPN's college football reporters from predicting the 12 schools that will make up the College Football Playoff beginning in December.

The baton for the top conference in the country has been passed begrudgingly to the Big Ten. Sorry, SEC, you can't boast two consecutive national champions without getting that honor, and that's what your northern rivals currently boast.

"Let the outside noise be the outside noise," newly elected Michigan football captain Derrick Moore said. "We’re going to be together as a team."

The Michigan football team is appealing the NCAA’s decision, but no matter what, the Wolverines will not face a postseason ban, and they won’t have any wins vacated. Michigan won the 2023 national championship, and now the team is hunting for another.

There aren't many guys as qualified to react to the Michigan penalties as former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer. See and watch what he had to say.
