TTUN: Taking a stab at predicting Michigan’s record in 2024​

After winning CHEATING THEIR WAY TO a national title last season, Michigan faces a lot of questions in 2024 with a “new” head coach, as well as trying to replace J.J. McCarthy at quarterback.

Sept. 7 - Texas

The only other time these two prestigious programs have met was back in the 2005 Rose Bowl, where Vince Young led the Longhorns to a thrilling 38-37 victory. Texas won’t have Vince Young in this one, but they’ll have Quinn Ewers, who should get a pair of gold pants from Ohio State if he is able to lead the Longhorns to victory in Ann Arbor....:lol:

In all seriousness, Texas will enter this game as the more complete team. Steve Sarkisian has the Longhorns headed in the right direction, as evidenced by Texas earning a spot in last year’s College Football Playoff before losing to Washington in the semifinal. The Wolverines will give a spirited effort in this one, it’s just the questions at quarterback and some of the departures on the defensive side of the football are going to be too much to overcome. LOSS

Oct. 5 - at Washington

A week before Ohio State heads out to Oregon, Michigan will hit the road for the first time in 2024, traveling to Seattle for a title game rematch with Washington. There are tons of similarities between these teams since they’ll both be replacing their head coach, searching for a new quarterback, and trying to replace a number of key starters on both sides of the football.

Not only is Seattle a tough place to play, but the Huskies have landed some talented transfers, which include Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers and Arizona running back Jonah Coleman. The Wolverines are likely a little better team, I’m just not convinced they can handle a long trip out west in a tough environment in their first road game of the season. Michigan drops a close one. LOSS

Nov. 2 - Oregon

The last time Oregon visited Michigan Stadium the Ducks trounced the Wolverines 39-7. Now I’m not saying Oregon is going to win this one by 32 points, but they are going to head back to Eugene with a victory. The Oregon offense is too explosive for a strong Michigan defense to contain, while Dan Lanning is assembling a defense that has a nasty streak. The Ducks show why they are seen as one of the favorites to not only make the College Football Playoff but win it all. LOSS

Nov. 30 - at Ohio State

Of course, being an Ohio State homer blog, it should be obvious what direction I’m leading with this. There is good reasoning for picking the Buckeyes to win, though. Michigan will be rebuilding a little bit after their national championship season, while Ohio State is putting everything into this year. Ryan Day knows he is in big trouble if he loses a fourth straight game to TTUN.

What will be interesting to see is if positioning for the College Football Playoff plays into the strategy for either team in this game. What if it looks like they are going to meet in the Big Ten Championship Game the following week? This is the new landscape of college football with an expanded playoff, which makes this year and next season so fascinating to watch because there is a lot more trial and error as teams adjust to the playoff being 12 teams.

Unlike Michigan’s revenge tour a few years ago, the Buckeyes do get their revenge on the Wolverines for the last three years. So many key players on defense came back to beat Michigan, while the Ohio State offense should be one of the best in the country with their collection of top-quality skill position players. LOSS


Predicted regular season record for Michigan: 8-4

I feel like they're gonna stumble against someone they "should" beat as well. 7-5

So, Harbaugh refused to cooperate and lied.


Michigan engaged in impermissible contact with football recruits during the Covid-19 dead period, allowed a staffer to take part in on-field activities that were against the rules, and was given a "failure to cooperate" designation amid "unethical and dishonest conduct" on Harbaugh's part, the NCAA said.

which bodes well for this part:

Michigan football remains under NCAA investigation for a separate issue involving an alleged scheme to steal football signals from opponents.
