Michigan football did what it had to do, though it wasn’t pretty, getting another big road win against a tough out in Nebraska.
Though it appeared that the Wolverines were cruising to victory at halftime, up 13-0, the Huskers came storming back, taking the lead — Michigan’s first deficit of the season — before the maize and blue defense eventually stood tall in a hostile environment.
ESPN FPI is a predictive advanced analytics model, and it has the Wolverines as the No. 5 team in the country. Last week, one game was moved to a loss while another was pretty much toss up at 50/50. The Wolverines are now expected by advanced stats to have a final regular season record of 10.4-1.9. The offense is ranked No. 8, special teams No. 7, and defense No. 25.
Here is how ESPN FPI predicts each remaining game going into Michigan’s bye week.
