Even after losing three first-round draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Michigan Wolverines are expected to be much better than the 8-5 record they had in 2024. There are a few reasons behind that. Michigan, on paper and as of now, has a much softer schedule than last season, plus there was a talent infusion.
As everyone knows by now, five-star QB Bryce Underwood is widely expected to change the Michigan offense for the better. The bar is low, however. The Wolverines had the 131st-ranked passing offense last season.
Paul Myerberg and Erick Smith with USA TODAY Sports are both believers in what Michigan has done so far. The Wolverines were ranked 18th in their way-too-early top-25 back in January, and now Michigan is ranked 15th in the updated ranking . Michigan fans got a glimpse of Underwood during the Wolverines' Spring Game.
There were some low moments, but the talent is undeniable. Underwood will continue to learn the Michigan offense, gain more chemistry with his playmakers, and the offensive line should only improve. Here is the updated top 10 from USA TODAY Sports: 1.
Ohio State 2. Penn State 3. Texas 4.
Georgia 5. Clemson 6. LSU 7.
Notre Dame 8. Oregon 9. Alabama 10.
