It’s time to look ahead to the Michigan football 2025 season, which features six teams that made a bowl in 2024 (though only one nonconference bowl-eligible foe).
The Wolverines wrapped up the 2024 season in the ReliaQuest Bowl against No. 11 Alabama with a 19-13 victory, finishing with three straight wins for an 8-5 record.

No. 2: Oklahoma Sooners (6-6)
Former Washington State quarterback John Mateer (10) is transferring to Oklahoma to reunite with his former offensive coordinator, Ben Arbuckle.
