Soon, Michigan football and its fans will know the destination and opponent for the bowl game. Of course, we won’t know anything until the College Football Playoff rankings are released.
If Ohio State makes the playoff, Michigan football will probably head to the Outback Bowl. However, if the Buckeyes are passed over for Alabama, then UM could wind up in the Holiday or Gator Bowl.
Hopefully, the Wolverines can get some breaks and wind up in the Outback Bowl on New Year’s Day. That would give Michigan football a chance to play in front of a national audience, against a solid team from the SEC such as South Carolina.
