Official pre camp predictions.
What is your official pre camp season record prediction? Our predictions could change based on what happens in camp, but with camp starting in less than 3 days, I thought it would be fun to take a prediction now. I say 13-2. We lose in National Championship game and we lose to Wisconsin. I know this is bold, but I don’t think ND or Msu will beat us and I think we get it done against Osu someway somehow.
Lose to Wisconsin in-season and then beat them in the Championship game?
won't lose to wiscy at home. one of these years michigan will have a year nobody predicts. so ya it could be this year, or not. should be exciting though. at this point everyone is just guessing anyway.
Entirely reasonable possibility

I have been changing this weekly. I think we go to the Cotton Bowl.
Looks pretty good, but... I just don’t see Michigan losing to Msu. We have so much more talent than them and we are more than alert of what they can do. I know I know this sounds like every year, but I really think this 10 year wet dream they’ve had is over.
I hope you’re right! When I first started doing my season predictions I had Michigan winning all the games, but thought I was kind of being a homer haha Go Blue!
Go Blue!
Probably hinges on how good Patterson is. MSU returns a lot and are always uber-motivated for the game. Both have a big game the week before. Initial edge should go to MSU and then potentially change based on season results.
Can't really deny the possibility of a loss to MSU based on recent history but a loss by that many points is just not going to happen.
Sorry no editing.. But also, if the offense is effective enough to put up that many points I just don't see us losing, because this defense is set up to be the best yet under Harbaugh.
Agree... no more miracles and 3rd string QBs for MSU.
Locked for posterity. Wimbush will be the starter for ND, and there's no way in hell a Brandon Wimbush led team will score 17 against this defense.
I'm thinking it's going to be like, 17-0, Michigan ahead at half.
I was looking over the ND roster the other day.... They won't have a running game, their strength (WR) matches our strength (DB), and they lost their best 2 OL... I honestly think it's gonna be a blowout.... 31-9...the offense set up nicely by alot of turnovers, but still won't look like world beaters (but better then last year)

I don't think we lose to a good MSU team (so I basically agree with OP)
11-1 regular season
Avenge loss against Wisconsin.
Playoffs as the 2/3 seed, but no prediction on what happens from there.
Patterson, Gary, Bush, Hill, Hudson, and Gentry all declare for the draft early.
I think Gentry and Bush stay. Just a hunch.
Cool man, do you think you could post your updates here weekly in a new thread?
Go Blue!
I will guarantee you UM beats MSU.
I agree!
you're 1-2 on your guarantees vs MSU that i can recall, I hope this is the year you turn it around.
I don't see Michigan giving up many points to any team and I don't think the offense will give away as many scores as they did last year.
Notre Dame - W 31-6
Western Mich. - W 56-0
SMU - W 45-3
Nebraska - W 41-10
Northwestern - W 42-9
Maryland - W 55-6
Wisconsin - W 33-14
Michigan State - W 38-13
Penn State - W 42-13
Rutgers - W 59-0
Indiana - W 41-14
Ohio State - W 30-13
I would love to smoke whatever makes you think we're taking the leap to Alabama-levels this year.
You're right. There is no way Michigan's defense gives up that many points.
It's called optimism with a little sarcasm. It's pre-camp.
Holy hell!! I would love these scores and a 12-0 season. I just don’t know if that’s realistic. Our schedule is very tough, but I believe we can beat anyone on our schedule. I think Alabama would lose a game with our schedule. Also, we don’t know how good or improved the Oline will be.
You are absolutely correct. The left and right tackles are question marks, but I am optimistic.
This would be the perfect season to not feel like your hearts going to explode from a close game
mmmmmm I love the optimism; IT'S SO NICE.
Similar boat here: 12-2 and we'll call ourselves Big Ten champs.
I'm not paid well enough by Delaney to make official predictions.
11-0 going to Columbus
Beautiful!
And 12-0 coming out
Even more beautiful!

Finish the year 11-2 and OSU wins the national title. Our torture and misery continues. Hope I’m wrong
Admins since this guy (MichiganFan1984) is an admitted troll can you do something about his ability to start posts?
He definitely has the capacity to be an ass, but this is a decent topic. Not sure why you’d make the suggestion here.
Fine. participate in a thread where a fake Michigan fan is saying "we" and laughing at you guys. Clearly, I am the only one that cares about it so I'll let myself out.
Well, in that case, he'd be laughing at us no matter what. So we might as well have fun with the thread and not worry about (horrors!) being laughed at.
I'll go with 10-2. The meat & potatoes of the schedule is ND, Wiscy, PSU, MSU, & OSU. My hunch is we win at home (Wiscy, PSU, & MSU) and lose on the road (ND & OSU). We should take care of the rest of the schedule.
I do predict that OSU will lose to both PSU & MSU on the road and that we will see Wiscy again in the B1G championship game, which we will win. So, disappointment with another loss to OSU, which gets eased somewhat by wins against MSU & PSU and a conference title. I don't think 10-2 with losses to both ND & OSU will be enough to get into the playoff however and we are one of the last 2 left out.
We are at Msu.
Good call. I think we take care of them in E. Lansing, beat Wiscy & PSU at home, and lose to ND & OSU on the road.
we play at msu this year
Undefeated going into B1G Championship. No one appreciates how dominant this defense is going to be. Don Brown in his third season, 4 potential all americans playing for him. Zordich was remarkably positive in Sam Webb's podcast.
This defense was third in the nation last year behind Bama and Wisconsin, who didn't play PSU or any other heavy East division competition.
Shea Patterson just doesn't need to mess things up. Unfortunately, that is what happened last year. The only thing that will prove me wrong will be bullshit officiating (again).
That being said if we win the B1G I don't think we get past the first round of the CFP.
With 3 and a half weeks for Harbaugh to prepare I think we do.
That's right, with 3 and a half weeks Harbaugh would drop most pro squads with this group.
Seriously? The Cleveland Browns would beat Alabama by 17+ points.
Agree. This guy is an idiot and stalks me on this board. Weird as hell.
He thought you were being sarcastic. It happens.
There is a commenter that seems to seek out his ID. He thought you were the guy. He should just ignore that guy. Life's too short.
But SeaScorpion is ALSO a troll
