2024 University of Michigan Football Season Predictions

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 (2023)

My Prediction: 11-1 (8-1 in Big Ten)

Actual Results: 12-0 (9-0 in Big Ten)

Comments:  I predicted that we’d lose to Ohio State, and I was glad to be wrong.

This Season (2024)

My Prediction: 10-2 (8-1 in Big Ten)

Comments: This is a really tough season to predict.  On the one hand, Michigan went 15-0 last season, winning the CFP National Championship.  On the other hand, the starting quarterback, the starting running back, and the head coach have all left, along with many other key components in last season’s magic.  On the other other hand, the new head coach has some valuable experience as interim head coach, and the new starting running back has some valuable experience as the substitute starter.  On the other other other hand, all the potential starting quarterbacks have serious strengths, weaknesses, and question marks.

So, with all those “other hands” in mind, I’m predicting that Michigan will lose one non-conference game (home vs. Texas) and one conference game (at Ohio State).  That might still be good enough to get into the Big Ten Championship game, and maybe good enough to get into the newly-expanded 12-team CFP playoff field.

Go Blue!
