Meanwhile, the Wolverines met the Tigers in that aforementioned Sweet 16 battle last season. There are many teams that could end up the Game 3 opponent, but hopefully not Oregon, Maryland, or Rutgers, the other three Big Ten participants. SDSU Takeaway Rate: 23.8% (16th) Auburn Offense: 102.1 Adj. Offense (18th) Michigan fans are well aware of how lethal Auburn can be. Johni Broome, Miles Kelly, and Chad Baker-Mazara may be gone, but Tahaad Pettiford remains and is joined by Keyshawn Hall. The Tigers are already top-25 in two-point shooting, turnover rate, and offensive rebounding; this will be a good…...

17+ hour, 41+ min ago (275+ words) Rich Eisen has had his chest puffed out for four years now, and he's not about to stop now, even with the outcome of this year's iteration of The Game being uncertain. The famed Michigan alum continues to be outspoken about the rivalry with the Buckeyes, with the Wolverines having won four straight games. And, as usual, just about no one is giving Michigan football a shot to beat Ohio State. But a caller into his show, Kory, asked if the maize and blue have a shot, and Eisen responded with reason. "Of course, we have a shot," Eisen said."Last year, we had a walk-on in their house.We had one of the least equipped teams in the recent years to actually go into The Horseshoe and beat a team that was eventually national championship worthy and winning them…...

1+ day, 7+ hour ago (381+ words) The Michigan Wolverines are looking to pull off the upset of No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday afternoon at the Big House (12:14 p.m., FOX). If they are able to do so, they will have a shot at not only making the College Football Playoff, but also the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis on Saturday, Dec. 6. In order for that to happen, Michigan not only needs to beat the Buckeyes, but it will also need some help along the way. According to the Big Ten, these are the three scenarios that would put Michigan in the conference title game. Again, all three of these scenarios are only a possibility if Michigan beats Ohio State. The Wolverines would play Curt Cignetti and the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers if Oregon loses at Washington (the Ducks are seven-point favorites), and Indiana wins at Purdue. Michigan and…...

1+ day, 7+ hour ago (286+ words) Date: Saturday, November 29, 2025Game Time: 7:00 PM ETTV: FS1Location: Ford Field, Detroit, MI@PeteFiutak Michigan State's offensive line isn't doing much of anything right. There's not enough of a running game, and the backfield isn't getting the time to operate. Maryland has a decent pass rush, and it has to force the mistakes and win the turnover and penalty battle. Michigan State isn't playing like it's on a losing streak.It had Minnesota all but beaten, and couldn't close. It had Iowa done, and couldn't close. The Penn State game wasn't close, and a horrible call kept the momentum changing against Michigan in the double-digit loss, but for the most part, they're still fighting. Maryland can't do a thing to control games. Quarterback Malik Washington's accuracy issues are part of the problem on third downs, the defense isn't coming up with stops, and…...

1+ day, 8+ hour ago (246+ words) To be clear, it's not a likely outcome. But there's a chance that Ohio State and Michigan don't just play this week in The Game, but then right away again in a rematch in the Big Ten Championship game. Would the Buckeyes or Wolverines even want that? It's tough to say. But it could happen, so here's how: Michigan beats Ohio State. That would leave Indiana, Ohio State and Michigan at 8-1 in the conference, and Oregon at 7-2. Indiana and OSU wouldn't have a head-to-head. The Buckeyes and Wolverines would be 2-0 against common opponents, as opposed to Indiana being 1-1. That would take the Hoosiers out of the game and leave Ohio State and Michigan to play one another. There's very little chance that Indiana loses to Purdue. It's also unlikely that Oregon loses to Washington. And could Michigan really beat Ohio…...

1+ day, 11+ hour ago (403+ words) The post Michigan makes biggest jump in AP Top 25 after blowing out Maryland appeared first on ClutchPoints. A three-touchdown breakout from Bryson Kuzdzal could not have come at a better time for the Michigan football team. With Jordan Marshall and Justice Haynes banged up, the junior back carried 20 times for 100 yards and three scores in a 45-20 road rout of Maryland, giving the Wolverines exactly the kind of downhill identity they have been searching for late in the year. The payoff showed up in the polls. In the new AP Top 25, Michigan is credited with the biggest rise of the week, climbing three spots to No. 15 after improving to 9-2. The Wolverines now sit just behind Utah and ahead of Texas, with voters clearly rewarding both the margin of victory in College Park and the fact that the offense finally looked like…...

1+ day, 12+ hour ago (336+ words) Here's where Michigan Football stands in the latest edition of ESPN's SP+ rankings heading into The Game against Ohio State: ... Michigan needed to put together a solid 60 minutes of football on Saturday, and it certainly did to the tune of a 45-20 victory over Maryland. However, the win didn't do much to change its advanced metrics, as Michigan didn't move in the latest edition of ESPN and Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings after Week 13. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with SP+, Connelly calls it, "A tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. It is a predictive measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football, not a r'sum' ranking." SP+ takes into account a team's efficiencies on offense, defense, and special teams and boils them down to one uniform metric that can be used to predict how…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (514+ words) Week 14 in college football can't come fast enough, at least when it comes to the Big Ten title race. A chaotic Week 13 slate saw the USC Trojans eliminate themselves from conference title contention in Eugene. Therefore, two spots are on the line for four teams, barring the outcomes in the regular season's final week next Friday and Saturday. The four teams involved are the Ohio State Buckeyes (defending national champs), Indiana Hoosiers (eying back-to-back College Football Playoff berths), Oregon Ducks(defending Big Ten champs) and Michigan Wolverines (2023-24 national champions). Exactly seven scenarios exist for what the title game could bring. Some are more straightforward than others, but without further ado, they are below: The game is set for Saturday, Dec. 6, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. Of all the scenarios, this one is most likely the easiest and arguably…...

2+ day, 2+ hour ago (445+ words) The Michigan Wolverines" College Football Playoff hopes stayed alive on Saturday as Michigan routed Maryland 45-20 and moved to 7-1 in Big Ten play. Not only are the Wolverines 9-2 heading into next weekend"s showdown with rival Ohio State, but Michigan also has a chance at the Big Ten Championship Game. A conference title would guarantee Michigan a fourth CFP berth in five seasons. "This whole season we"ve been preaching a peak at the perfect time, and I feel like it"s coming along," said quarterback Bryce Underwood, who completed 69.6% of his passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. However, a win over No. 1 Ohio State won"t be enough on its own for Michigan to reach the conference championship game. Depending on next week"s outcomes, Michigan could face Ohio State, Indiana, or Oregon in the Big Ten title…...
