Not early at all 2026 season prediciton

 I have to admit I don't seem to care as much about this as I used to... Stadium and uniform ads, athletic department chaos, roster uncertainty, television dominance have made it harder to maintain my cognitive dissonance and pretend these kids all love UM as students, just like me...

Michigan - Texas (2025)

Michigan 20
Texas 29

M vs Texas in the Cirus Bowl Prediction

"Lesser" Bowl games have become increasingly difficult to predict, add to it that Michigan has an interim head coach, a one game only OC, a DC who is most definitely out the door, and the promise of "how excited we are for this games plan" and "the practices have been great."

Do we get a "Last Game of the Lloyd Carr era" unexpected bump or no one really wants to be here 2018 Peach Bowl?🤷

 M 23

Texas 21 

 

Quick Trophy update - I'm tempted to strip Notre Dame of the Trophy because they we too "proud" to play in the Pop Tar Bowl... but they will carry the jiMpossible-sarcasMike Trophy into the 2026 season.
