On Monday, before the Iowa game was nixed, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about his team’s interest in a potential bowl game.

If Michigan doesn’t play in a bowl game this season, it would be for the first time since 2014, when the Wolverines finished 5-7.

Maryland and Michigan State, both in the East, will play each other. Using winning percentage to determine the order of the standings, Indiana should have played Iowa.

It also puts Michigan’s defense in a tricky situation entering the back half of its current eight-game schedule.

ANN ARBOR – The result and the postgame questions for Michigan’s football team Saturday didn’t change much from the previous two weeks.

Defensive tacklesStarters: Carlo Kemp and Chris HintonConfidence: 100% and 95%Kemp will be one of the starters at defensive tackle -- that’s a slam dunk.

Unfortunately, the defensive line wasn’t a strength for Michigan a year ago. Even though the schedule is shorter this season, Michigan won’t avoid the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten.
