Summary
Michigan football kicks off a new era under Coach Kyle Whittingham, bringing tough, disciplined football to Ann Arbor—but the 2026 schedule is no walk in the park. CBS analyst Brad Crawford predicts an 8-4 season, keeping the Wolverines out of the College Football Playoff. Early wins are expected against Western Michigan, UTEP, and Minnesota, but a tough loss to Oklahoma could set the tone. Despite a talented roster led by QB Bryce Underwood, the real hurdles come in the Big Ten: crushing road losses to Oregon and Ohio State, plus a home game against Iowa. Building a championship contender in Year 1 with a revamped culture and unproven depth? That’s a tall order—but an 8-4 record might just be the realistic starting point.
