Yeah, it’s me, the “basketball guy”, back for more. It’s time for my annual attempt to predict how the University of Michigan’s football season is going to go.
Last Season (2022)
My Prediction: 10-2 (7-2 in Big Ten)
Actual Results: 13-1 (9-0 in Big Ten)
Comments: After being way off for a couple seasons in a row, I was pretty close last season. I predicted that we’d lose at Iowa and Ohio State, and I was glad to be wrong.
This Season (2023)
My Prediction: 11-1 (8-1 in Big Ten)
Comments: After a very good 2021 season (12-2) and an even better 2022 season (13-1), many experts are picking UM to run the table and win a National Championship. I’m not quite that optimistic, although I certainly hope they’re right. I think UM has the talent and attitude to win their first 11 games, but I’m afraid that our magic vs. Ohio State has run out. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Michigan get selected for the College Football Playoffs again, even with a loss to OSU. If they get in the CFP, they are due to win at least one game, and perhaps two.
Go Blue!
