The Michigan football schedule for 2024 and 2025 was officially released with the Wolverines facing a gauntlet in the new Big Ten.
The new Big Ten schedule with USC and UCLA in the fold required some big changes from the conference.
Out are divisions. In are protected rivals and a flex schedule for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Michigan has two protected rivals: Ohio State and Michigan State. But the first phase of the new scheduling model has also matched them up with Maryland, who they will play home and away.
The 2024 schedule is particularly tough with Texas on the out of conference schedule with road games against Ohio State and USC.

The 2025 Michigan schedule isn't much easier with six away games. A road trip to Oklahma is sure to be a spectacle but the Wolverines will host Ohio State and Penn State at the Big House.
The conference will announce the order of those matchups at a future date but for now, Michigan knows who they will be playing in coming seasons of Big Ten play.
It'll be a challenge, but hopefully a fun one.
