The Athletic releases a preseason bowl prediction for Michigan football

The Michigan Wolverines have received some pretty decent bowl bids under Jim Harbaugh, including two New Year’s Six appearances. However, The Athletic is not expecting one of those more prestigious bowls to be in the cards this time around.

Stewart Mandel, who has been covering college football for nearly two decades, compiled his list for all 41 bowl games at the conclusion of the 2020 season. For the Wolverines, he projects them projected to finish third in the Big Ten (behind Ohio State and Wisconsin) and head to the Outback Bowl to face the Tennessee Volunteers, the third-place team from the SEC.
