    Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

      CBS Sports has us going to the Music City Bowl to play Missouri. The other prediction I've seen is Tampa and possibly Florida which makes me want to puke.

          I'd like to play a team we can beat which is a short list.

              Everyone will have opt-outs but ours will probably be fatal against anyone with a pulse. We already don't have an offense, then take away Graham and Grant on the D-line and you have a G5 squad out there. It's glorified spring game anyway nowadays.

                The portal transfers are adding up too.

                  That's the thing about the portal...it's basically porting players from one team to another.

                  Community banks are truly part of the community.

                  There is great significance to the passage of time.

                    Give me anyone but Florida please. M has played the Gators, what… 4 or 5 times since 2007? BORING matchup idea.

                    If I could magically take anyone with a similar record, it would be LSU because I’ve never seen the two teams play each other. Perhaps M would lose, but it’s an opportunity to make Barney/ Purple Man upset. Plus as mentioned before, getting the bowl practices for the young players is key. Such as Underwood if that’s how it works. Duke’s Mayo Bowl (the meme bowl) or ReliaQuest (prime bowl date) would be ideal.

                    Doubt I will win ESPN bowl mania again, but will give it a shot. Mr. Mittens will go down trying! Last year was the luckiest of luck. Such as that Wyoming bowl game that was on drugs.

                      Would like to see a matchup with LSU or Oklahoma, but likely not in the cards given the pecking order. I don't believe M has ever played LSU.

                        A lot is going to depend on how many teams from each conference get into the playoffs. The Bowl Selection committee gets the leftovers to make up bowl games with.

                        Michigan has been burned by this before, getting matched up with a very good SEC team, while Michigan has a horrible record.

                        I'd expect the same this year. If we are matched up with an SEC team, we will probably draw a team with only 2-3 losses.

                            I think it’s been pretty even the last 10-12 years or so. There were a few seasons before that that there was some disparity.

                              I think the Michigan SEC matchups have been pretty decent. looking at all recent M-SEC post seasons:


                              Heading into the game.

                              2023: M 0 losses; Bama 1 loss
                              2021: M 1 loss; Georgia 1 loss
                              2019: M 3 losses; Bama 2 losses
                              2018: M 2 losses; Florida 3 losses
                              2017: M 4 losses; South Carolina 4 losses
                              2015: M 3 losses; Florida 3 losses
                              2012: M 4 losses; South Carolina 2 losses (this one, for example, but it’s SoCar).
                              2010: M 5 losses; Mississippi State 4 losses​
