Michigan football’s regular season ended a week ago with the 27-9 loss to Ohio State, but the Wolverines can still end the 2025 campaign on a high note. While that won’t come in the College Football Playoff, a bowl game awaits the maize and blue.

And now we know where and when — just not whom.

The non-CFP bowl games will be announced on Sunday after the selection committee reveals its top 12, and according to a report from On3’s Brett McMurphy, the Wolverines are locked in for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida on December 31 against an SEC opponent. But the opponent awaits the results of the conference championship games.

Nearly every prediction and indication is that the maize and blue will face the Texas Longhorns for the second consecutive year, though one prediction indicated that Vanderbilt could be the opponent. The Wolverines lost to Texas at The Big House in Week 2 of the 2024 season, and while the Longhorns are hoping for a back-end bid into the CFP, they also have three losses, including to Ohio State, Florida, and Georgia. But with ranked wins over Oklahoma (which Michigan lost to in Week 2 this year), Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M, UT is hoping to back into the CFP.

The last time that the Wolverines were in the Citrus Bowl came in 2019, when Michigan lost to a Nick Saban-led Alabama team following a moribund campaign that year.

We’ll know more on Sunday about the opponent that Michigan football will face, but it appears as if the Wolverines will take the field on New Year’s Eve in Florida for the second consecutive year.
