The Michigan football team is undefeated after six games for the first time since 2016 when they began the season 9-0.

A Week 7 bye created a perfect dividing line for the 2021 Michigan Football season, and there is still a lot to learn about this team over the next six weeks.

While the Wolverines remain unblemished, there are both reasons for optimism and concern moving forward as far as what this team’s ceiling truly is.

Is the passing game good enough to beat elite teams?

At the end of the day, wins and losses are king, so how will the Wolverines close out the regular season?

Below, we will take a look at who the Wolverines have been to this point and what they might become down the stretch.
