Steve Deace dives into Michigan's finalized 2026 football schedule: a tough but strategically paced slate featuring Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, and Oklahoma, with six near-locks and a rhythm that gives the Wolverines their best shot at surviving the gauntlet. With Kyle Whittingham now in charge, Steve breaks down why this draw (including home games against the toughest foes) sets up a real chance to stay in the playoff conversation, plus early portal momentum and why the team could be much better positioned than last year. Mark Rogers joins to compare Michigan's path to Ohio State's even harder draw and discuss what Whittingham's proven track record could mean in year one.
