As part of our lead-in to kick-off next month (!!!), one of the things we wanted to take a look at was Michigan football’s schedule. Today we answer the question: what games will decide and define the type of season the Wolverines have?
Looking at the slate, there are six teams scheduled that Jim Harbaugh has lost to in the last three seasons — Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Notre Dame and Penn State. Throw in an additional game against Army’s triple-option early on and it’s not difficult to see where this season could go south. I’ve taken these seven opponents and cut the list down to four that I believe pose the biggest threat.
