As soon as the confetti settles at the national championship site, a slew of college football writers come out with their “Way Too Early Top 25.” In the case of the Michigan Wolverines, most such articles have the Wolverines between #5 and #7 in the coming year.
Are you kidding me? The folks in Ann Arbor don’t know who their coach is. They don’t know if their starting QB, JJ McCarthy, is returning. They don’t know if the 2024 UM team will be sanctioned. That is a LOT to not know.
Here is what we DO know. About 15 stellar players are going to get drafted and/or be on NFL rosters this fall.
Have you checked out their schedule in 2024?!?! Arguably, the toughest in college football, which includes
USC
Oregon
Washington
Ohio State
Texas
Two additional games fall into the “tricky” category. The Big House’s first visitor will be a pesky Fresno State squad. In addition, MSU has a good new coach in Jonathan Smith.

The Odyssey puts very long odds that Michigan will finish 2024 in the Top 10.
