In 2024, it is expected that Michigan football will take a step back after winning the national championship. The challenging schedule, personnel losses, and coaching change are some of the factors that contribute to this expectation. Many anticipate that Michigan will not have as successful of a season in 2024.
Looking ahead to the 2023 season, Michigan had a projected win-loss record of 10.5, with potential challenges against teams like Penn State and Ohio State. For the 2024 season, the Wolverines will face tough opponents like Texas, USC, Washington, Oregon, and Ohio State. These are games where Michigan could struggle to secure victories.
Jesse Simonton from On3 analyzed the win-loss projections for every Big Ten team, setting Michigan’s win total at 9.5 for the 2024 season. This seems like a reasonable prediction given the circumstances. If Michigan can find a quarterback capable of performing well and receive support from their unproven wide receiver group, they might exceed the projected win total.
Michigan’s strong defense could also help them in achieving success in 2024. Additionally, the majority of their challenging games will be played at home, providing them with a possible advantage. However, if the offense underperforms, it could lead to Michigan falling short of expectations for the upcoming season.
