A Texas Longhorns team disappointed not to be in the College Football Playoff and facing a wave of opt-outs takes on a Michigan team going through the tumultuous firing and arrest of Sherrone Moore in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.
The game in Orlando is one of the top non-playoff bowl games in terms of records and rankings, as both teams are 9-3 and ranked in the top 20.
Texas comes in as a 7-point favorite to get to 10 wins this year, though most prognosticators have the game closer than that.

Texas at Michigan football predictions
Covers.com: Bet Michigan on the money line to win
Andrew Caley writes: "I’m going with the Wolverines to pull off the upset in the Citrus Bowl.
"The Sherrone Moore firing sent shockwaves through the college football world, but it appears the team has rallied behind interim coach Biff Poggi as the team only had three opt-outs before jumping on the plane to Orlando.
"Texas is dealing with a massive amount of opt-outs, particularly on the defensive side of the football."
Sports Illustrated: Texas 26, Michigan 23
Lewis Reimink writes: "I think the public is overrating the chaos surrounding this Michigan football team and siding with the Longhorns because of all that has transpired for Michigan lately with the coaching search and everything else going on. I believe the Biff Poggi and the leaders left in the Michigan locker room will rally together and put together a solid performance for Michigan in this bowl game. I have this game projected much closer, with Texas Winning 26-23 so that means I would take Michigan to cover the +7.5 fairly comfortably based on the KFord Ratings projection of -2.1 in favor of Texas."
