Michigan football is hitting a crucial point of the season, but they will have the week to rest before getting back to Big Ten play.
The Wolverines (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) are on a bye week, meaning they won’t play until Saturday, Nov. 15. That game will be on the road against Northwestern at Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cubs) in Chicago, kicking off at noon ET and airing on Fox.
Michigan, ranked No. 20 in the most recent coaches poll, still has an outside shot at winning a Big Ten title — though it would likely require them to win their three remaining regular-season games, including the regular-season finale at home against No. 1 Ohio State.
But with Michigan’s most recent showing in a 21-16 win over last-place Purdue, there are some alarm bells ringing in Ann Arbor about the Wolverines’ chances to make it to the College Football Playoff.
