After going over 15 years without a Big Ten championship, the Michigan Wolverines have hoisted the trophy in Indianapolis each of the past three seasons. There has been little doubt as to which program has owned the conference since 2021; even without the national championship it would be hard to argue against a 26-1 Big Ten record.
Most of the country is writing off the Wolverines’ chances of making it four straight, with plenty of roster (and coaching) turnover and a potential hangover from last year’s championship run. However, the cupboards are far from bare in Ann Arbor, so do not be surprised to see Michigan fight for the conference yet again this fall.
