Fans are invited to attend an open practice with the Michigan Wolverines before they head to the Fiesta Bowl.

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene this past weekend.

Michigan football moved all the way up to No. 4 in this week’s AP poll after a blowout win over Colorado State in the opener.

There’s the score of the game, and then there’s the score of life, and if it were up to Michigan fans, they would have already decided who their starting quarterback should be after week one.

It’s game week for the reigning Big Ten champions, and the Michigan Wolverines are coming into the 2022 season hungry for more. They’re looking to build on the structure set at the end of last season.

The Michigan Wolverines have advanced to their fifth consecutive Sweet 16 after upsetting the No. 3 ranked Tennessee Volunteers 76-68 in the round of 32 on Saturday (March 19).

A second-half surge sent the Michigan Wolverines to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after they defeated No. 6 seed Colorado State, 75-63, in the opening round.

ESPN’s Basketball Power Index projected Michigan (16%) as one of the double-digit seeds with the best chance to reach the Sweet 16 in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

The seesaw season for the Michigan Wolverines gifted them another trip to Indianapolis, as the surprising No. 11 seed will face No. 6 seed Colorado State in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
