Michigan Wolverines’ Update (Bye Week #1)

Larkdight Studios Michigan Wolverines' Championship Chase Series (2025) August 7, 2025 5:00PM CST

With the Michigan Wolverines entering into their first bye week of the season, sitting undefeated at 3-0, now is a good time to look at how HC Sherrone Moore’s program looks on their pursuit of a National Championship. The Week 2 road game against #20 Oklahoma Sooners was a great game, but outside of that close win it's been pure domination for the Wolverines. But this is to be expected. The real battles begin as they come out of the bye and get ready for Big 10 play with road games coming against HC Matt Rhule’s Nebraska Cornhuskers and HC Lincoln Riley’s USC Trojans. And don’t overlook HC Luke Fickell’s Wisconsin Badgers. The Wolverines will most likely be favored in each one of those games, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have to go out there and win the games.
