Michigan’s CFP Hopes Shattered? ESPN’s Stark Warning in Kyle Whittingham’s Debut Season Revealed
“It’s not impossible for the Wolverines to make a run in the first season under coach Kyle Whittingham, but with Indiana, Oregon and Ohio State all on the schedule, it would be a surprise,” Dinich wrote.
The biggest issue for Michigan is the schedule. It could play into their favor if the Wolverines get wins.
“The No. 16 schedule in the country. It starts Week 2 with the home game against Oklahoma, and two weeks later Michigan hosts what could eventually be a CFP top 25 Iowa team. ESPN’s FPI gives Michigan more than a 50% chance to win every game — except for the Big Three (Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana). If Michigan can beat Oklahoma and Iowa — and they’re both top-25 teams — and the Wolverines pull off at least one upset against the Big Three, a two-loss Michigan would be a good bet for the CFP,” Dinich added.
