10 too-early Michigan football bold predictions for 2025

It’s Feb. 1 and there’s a long way until the 2025 college football season. Spring ball is about a month and a half away and the identity of Team 146 will truly start to be forged on the heels of building things up during winter conditioning.

It was No. 83 in 2022, a year that the Wolverines played in the College Football Playoff. With Cade McNamara leading the charge in 2021, it was No. 68. However, we believe Michigan will eclipse…
