Latest bowl projections for the Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines bounced back in a big way after their loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. They returned to the Big House and hosted Central Michigan on Saturday and absolutely dominated the Chippewas, winning 63-3. The whole team looked great, but now they have to get ready for a tough test against Nebraska on the road.

Through three weeks, the Wolverines are 2-1 with wins over New Mexico and Central Michigan. Their only loss has come to No. 11 Oklahoma on the road, and the Wolverines sit at No. 21 in the AP Poll. They're on the outside looking in of the 12-team College Football Playoff, but that doesn't mean they won't play in a big bowl game.

Here are the latest bowl projections for the Michigan Wolverines.

On3's Brett McMurphy: Cheez-It Citrus Bowl vs Texas

On3 has the Wolverines taking a trip to Orlando to face Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. These two teams met in Ann Arbor in 2024 with Texas taking down Michigan 31-12, so this would be a great opportuntity for the Wolverines to extract some revenge.

CBS Sports: Reliaquest Bowl vs Tennessee

CBS Sports has the Wolverines traveling to Tampa, Florida, for a matchup with the Tennessee Volunteers, who just earned a big win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. These two storied programs don't have much of a history against each other, but this would be a very entertaining matchup between two good offenses.

ESPN's Kyle Bonagura: Las Vegas Bowl vs Cal

One of ESPN's bowl projections for the Wolverines has them traveling west to Las Vegas to face the Cal Golden Bears. This would be one of the least interesting games in my opinion, but the matchup between Bryce Underwood and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, two freshman five-star QBs, would draw eyes from across the country.
