Week 10: at Michigan –Nov. 2

National Champion Michigan Wolverines will be undefeated walking into this game and ready to continue that trend while hosting the undefeated Ducks.

Playing at the Big House in Ann Arbor is no joke for any opponent, much less for a newly-minted Big Ten team like Oregon. While the Ducks have defeated Michigan in the past, most recently in 2007, the Wolverines are not the same team under head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Since taking over the program in 2015, Harbaugh has gone 86-25 including three CFP appearances, winning the national title at the end of the 2023 season.

Offensive players like running back Blake Corum and quarterback J.J. McCarthy are no longer on the team causing the Michigan roster to not be in the top two of the Big Ten. However, the Wolverines are not lacking in talent.

The Ducks will not be able to keep up with Michigan’s pace of play and will slowly but surely get worn down on offense.

The final score will be 54-32, with Michigan remaining undefeated and Oregon falling to 9-1.
