Michigan could possibly schedule Air Force in 2022
Doing some searching after the schedule changes recently on who could fill those remaining open dates in 2022 and 2023. I went through every single FBS team schedule for 2022 and found only FOUR teams that I believe Michigan would schedule for their only open date on September 17 2022.
Keep in mind, Warde has stressed his commitment to having 7 home games minimum every year. The makes a home and home with a Power 5 team unlikely and the Power 5 teams that have open dates on 9/17/2022 aren’t ones who are gonna come play here and not get a return game ala Colorado in 2016. For example, Florida State has an opening that date.
Think Group of 5 opponents. Well it turns out there are only FOUR G5 teams with open dates on 9/17/2022. Michigan has never faced 3 of the 4-
Air Force
FIU
Kent State
Troy
Our other scheduled non-conf games for 2022 are 9/3 vs Colorado State and 9/10 vs Hawaii.

That would be beyond fucking stupid and so it is likely what will happen. Fire Ward!

Unreadable? And you're a UM grad? :)

Should I have taken dome kind of deciphering hieroglyphs class?
Is there a Rosetta Stone for your writings?

I'd take Troy. Not a cream puff G5 game. They've been on the up the last few years and would be a respectable win.

How about Michigan takes New Mexico St, the worst team in Div 1. Alabama played them this season.
