5 things we learned from Michigan football loss to Oregon
Michigan football lost to No. 1 Oregon on Saturday and here are five things that we learned.
Getting to a bowl game is the ceiling
You can hope for an upset over the last three games which include Indiana and Ohio State -- two top-10 opponents -- but it feels like the best-case scenario for Michigan football is beating Northwestern in the final home game to clinch a bowl berth.
Maybe it would be a good year to take some sort of postseason ban if the NCAA wants to insist on it. As a fan, I don't really care if the Wolverines play in the Motor City Bowl or not.
You'd get a chance to see some young guys, but I'm sure most of the star players will opt out and it will be hard to blame them. If Michigan won a game or two down the stretch and had a solid matchup, maybe, but in the 12-team playoff era, making a bowl game means very little, especially for Michigan.
