A couple of weeks ago, Michigan football had bigger aspirations than just a New Year’s Six bowl game. However, after laying an egg at Ohio State, the 10-2 Wolverines, who finished seventh in the final playoff rankings had to settle for a Peach Bowl berth against Florida.
On its face, it seems a little disappointing. A few weeks ago, Michigan football seemed like a good bet for the playoff or maybe even the Rose Bowl and not getting into either is less than ideal.
Another reason why it’s a little hard to get excited about this game is that it will be the third time Florida and Michigan have met in the last four seasons.
