It seemed like Michigan would be fully capable of being a playoff team in 2024, but after 10 games they may not even qualify for a bowl game this season.
Ahead of the 2024 season, it seemed like Michigan had all of the pieces necessary to legitimately compete for a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Even with significant losses on the staff and the roster, the Wolverines returned plenty of talented contributors who played meaningful roles on the 2023 National Championship team.
There will be plenty of time to dissect exactly what went wrong once the season comes to an end, but you can't help but wonder if the expectations were just far too high for Michigan heading into the year. Following the loss to Indiana, head coach Sherrone Moore was asked that question, and here's how he responded."I think every year we're going to expect the same standard," Moore said. "And our job is to go try to meet it.
The good news is that Moore seems to be fully aware of the lofty expectations in Ann Arbor based on his response. He knows that the standard is far higher than what they've achieved in 2024, and he knows it's ultimately his job to make sure that standard is met. The only question now is what he decided to do about it once the season comes to an end.
