Michigan Football: Predicting Wolverines win-loss record next season

GBMWolverine writers got together to discuss how Michigan football will perform in 2020-21. Here are their predictions.

A year ago, the GBMWolverine writers were asked their thoughts on how the 2019-20 Michigan football season would end.

Many mentioned senior Shea Patterson as being the reason for a successful one, two, or, in some cases, no loss season.

There happened to be a new sheriff in town named Josh Gattis that was given the keys to the offense by Jim Harbaugh, who surprisingly – and finally – removed himself largely from the decision-making process that he held, traditionally, in a chokehold since he became the head man in Ann Arbor.

Gattis departed Alabama after just one year as the co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. A dispute later arrived in the public eye as to who hand a larger fingerprint on the Tide offense between Josh and Mike Locksley.

Either way, you don’t find a coaching gig under Nick Saban without the phrase ‘rising star’ linked to your name.

The bottom line is there were very few questions surrounding the 2019-20 Michigan Wolverines, and the hype was building like never before. Large sports media outlets were predicting Michigan would finally earn a spot in the playoffs, and we too believed the hype.

Well, a year later, we do this thing again with differing opinions this time around.
