IB has broken the game and now it's time for us to make our predictions. BRYAN DRISKELL, EDITOR 

Prediction: TCU 30, Michigan 24 

 

There are many reasons to choose Michigan, there's no doubt about that. The Wolverines are red hot, a tight-knit football 

team and play their best football of the season leading up to the playoffs. TCU has struggled to stop the rush at times 

this season and Michigan is absolutely rolling on the floor this season.

 

I still choose TCU and have a few reasons why I see this discomfort happening. Number one, I still think Michigan has holes 

in the secondary, especially against speed. Ohio State's problem wasn't an inability to beat Michigan, but an unwillingness 

to try. TCU will not have this problem. OSU quarterback CJ Stroud went 2-3 for 86 yards on passes of 20+ yards against 

Michigan. TCU quarterback Max Duggan completed 50% of his throws beyond 20 yards and had an impressive 18-3 touchdown-to-

interception ratio on those throws (according to Pro Football Focus). He will take a toll on Michigan and I expect the 

Wolverines will have a hard time dealing with the speed of Quentin Johnston and Taye Barber. Michigan will handle the ball 

well early on, but I think TCU will find a way to load the box enough to force Michigan to beat them in the air and I 

finally go with Duggan on Wolverine quarterback JJ McCarthy.

 

VINCE DEDARIO, FOOTBALL ANALYST 

Pick: Michigan 34, TCU 21 

 

I've been going back and forth on this for a while. Really since the clashes were announced. I think this game is so good 

for Michigan that there's a distinct possibility this game isn't even close to being finished based on what's on the card. 

Of course, the game isn't played on paper, which is what TCU wants. They played on skis all season. They know how to win 

close matches. Michigan hasn't been in too many close games this year. Not even the OSU game came close. I think that says 

more about the weakness of the Big Ten and the competitiveness of the Big 12, but be that as it may, the Frogs are more 

battle-tested. However, ultimately, I think Michigan will be too tough for TCU. He was rooting for the Horned Frogs, but I 

think Michigan is going to its first championship game. My fingers were tingling in pain as I typed this…

 

RYAN ROBERTS, DIRECTOR OF RECRUITMENT 

Prediction: Michigan 35, TCU 24 

 

TCU was a great story. They are a explosive offensive team, but they will face the best defense Michigan has seen this 

season.

 

TCU's defense is also not a very inspiring bunch. Michigan should be able to consistently move the ball and control the 

pace of this game.

 

SHAUN DAVIS, RECRUITMENT ANALYST 

Pick: Michigan 31, TCU 21 

 

Can TCU defeat Michigan with its Big 12-style game where Max Duggan throws some TD passes in the vertical passing game and 

Kendre Miller explodes in the running game? Michigan wants to methodically wear down TCU with Donovan Edwards and field 

goals with quarterback JJ McCarthy. Expect the first half to be close with TCU possibly leading at halftime. If McCarthy is 

efficient, the Wolverines will start to pull apart in the second half, where they have a +206 point differential.

 

SEAN STIRES, STAFF WRITER 

Pick: Michigan 38, TCU 24 

 

Quarterback Max Duggan and TCU lived on the edge during their Cinderella season. Five of his 12 wins were single possession 

games. Michigan is going to be the best defense they've seen all season. They allow just 13.4 points per game and if they 

can shut down Buckeye quarterback CJ Stroud and Ohio State, they can do the same to Duggan and the Horned Frogs.

 

ANDREW MCDONOUGH, CONTRIBUTOR IB 

Pick: TCU 28, Michigan 24 

 

TCU's undefeated season ended with a close and controversial loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game, but the 

Horned Frogs still deservedly earned a spot in the CFP against Michigan. The Wolverines got off to a slow start to the Big 

Ten, with sloppy victories over Maryland, Iowa and Indiana, but timed to a climax, defeating Ohio State 45-23 in "The Game" 

and then upsetting a team from the Surpassed Purdue in Big Ten. Championship. 

 

Michigan's defense allowed just 13.1 PPG thanks to the most pass rushing in the Big Ten and a red zone defense that allowed 

touchdowns in just 37.9 percent from the red zone.

possessions. However, the Wolverines were only 93rd in the country in turnovers and a ball defending TCU team (4th in the 

country with the fewest turnovers) along with an athletic QB who can extend the ball. and goes on. his miracle run with a 

drive in the fourth quarter to win the game.
