Michigan Football: Way-too-Early Game-by-Game Predictions for 2022

After a Big Ten Championship and a trip to the college football playoff, what will Jim Harbaugh and Michigan Football do for an encore in 2022?

What a season it was for Michigan Football in 2021. The Wolverines were picked to only win seven or eight games before the season, but they defied expectations and had their most successful season in quite some time.

The Wolverines were able to beat Wisconsin on the road, beat Ohio State, win the Big Ten East, and win the Big Ten. They may have had a bad showing against Georgia in the Orange Bowl, but that Bulldogs team had one of the greatest defenses of all time. There is finally some positive momentum for this program and one of the top storylines for 2022 will be how does Michigan football follow up its dream season?

The question that might currently be on the minds of Michigan fans will be if Jim Harbaugh decides he wants to go back to the NFL. There have been numerous reports of teams like the Raiders or Bears wanting to talk to Harbaugh and there could be mutual interest. That should be resolved, but until it is, Michigan football fans will be holding their breath and hoping for the best.

Michigan is going to have a lot of talent to replace on next year’s team. Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo, Hassan Haskins, and Daxton Hill are going to be gone, among others. The schedule does have its challenges as well. Michigan football might not go back to the playoff in 2022, but don’t expect a big dropoff from the Wolverines.

Here are the way-too-early game-by-game predictions for Michigan in 2022.
