final record: anywhere from 8-4 (6-3) to 10-2 (7-2), depending on the italicized games, so I'll split the difference and say 9-3 (6-3), good for third in conference, putting us in the Holiday Bowl

Michigan starts the year against Alabama. Holy sh!t is that a gutsy move by UM. I don't expect them to win, but then again Hoke has shown that he may be the guy to get the program back to where it should be.
Also, Michigan had another stellar recruiting class in '12 and they currently have the No. 2 ranked class in the country for '13.
They may be a little in over their head for Alabama this soon, but I don't think it will be long before they are on that level again.
