In 2023, Michigan football won the national championship, but expectations for the team in 2024 are that they will take a step back. This is due to a challenging schedule, personnel losses, and coaching change. Many anticipate Michigan to regress, but the extent of this decline is up for debate.
The 2024 schedule includes tough matchups against Texas, USC, Washington, Oregon, and Ohio State. On3’s Jesse Simonton has set Michigan’s win-loss over-under at 9.5 for the upcoming season. The key to Michigan’s success in 2024 will likely hinge on the performance of their quarterback, as well as support from an unproven wide receiver group. If the defense remains strong and the offense can perform at a high level, it’s possible that the Wolverines could exceed the 9.5 win projection. With most challenging games being played at home, Michigan has a chance to achieve success. However, if the offense struggles, the team may fall short of expectations in the upcoming season.
