How Michigan Stacks Up Against Each Regular Season Opponent In 2023

The Michigan Wolverines will kick off the 2023 season in less than two weeks, and there's no shortage of big time matchups to look forward to.

The Michigan Wolverines will kick off their 2023 campaign in less than two weeks, and the excitement surrounding the football program has never been higher. An elite coaching staff, coupled with an experienced roster loaded with talent and depth, has the folks around Ann Arbor eyeing the biggest prize in all of college football. 

If the Wolverines hope to compete for a national championship in January, they'll first need to navigate a tricky regular season schedule that includes tough road tests at Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan State and Penn State. All roads lead back to Ann Arbor for the final game of the regular season against Ohio State, a contest that will likely determine the eventual Big Ten champion.
