On Saturday, the Texas Longhorns and Michigan Wolverines played for the first time since 2005. Texas won in 2005, and things started to trend that way, much to the fans' disappointment.
College GameDay and Big Noon Kickoff were in Ann Arbor to witness what people thought would be a close-ranked matchup. However, Michigan went into halftime down 24-3, as the offense looked abysmal.
College football fans from around the country watched the Wolverines and talked about how overrated Michigan was on social media.
Michigan started the season as the No. 9 ranked team in the country. It beat the Fresno State Bulldogs in its season opener and moved to No. 10 for Week 2.
The program won its 10th national title last season after beating the Washington Huskies to win the College Football Playoff. Michigan reached the playoff for the first time in 2021. The only Big Ten teams to make the playoff before that were the Ohio State Buckeyes (2014, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022) and Michigan State Spartans (2015).
