Takeaways
-With Michigan only having six home games, the Wolverines do not have back-to-back home games at any point next season. That hasn’t happened in … a long, long time.
-That said, the Wolverines won’t have to leave the state of Michigan starting after the return trip from USC on Oct. 11 until they head to Northwestern on Nov. 15. Two home games and a short road trip to East Lansing certainly will help the midseason grind.
-Michigan very well could play four preseason top-25 teams in 2025 — Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma and one of Wisconsin/Washington. As always in the Big Ten, it’s going to be another tough schedule for the Wolverines.
-There are some super fun road games this season. At Oklahoma will be a total blast, while Nebraska always brings a raucous atmosphere. Heading to USC will also be a really cool road game that Michigan hasn’t experienced in a long time. Finally, the road game against Northwestern is set to be played at the historic Wrigley Field, so that is another really cool road game to circle on the calendar.
