Wolverines are getting a high-profile time slot as the lead-in to the College Football Playoff, which doesn't include a Big Ten team so no "warm up act" and "all Harbaugh does is finish third or 4th in the division" quips in front of millions of people. Also facing a very beatable opponent, which is basically Florida but with a more competent quarterback. I would be very surprised, if Brandon Peters is the QB, if we don't win.
Given how unsatisfying our overall season was, we couldn't have asked for a better situation.
