Sugar Bowl bid was undeserved(only got in because they are Michigan) and don't think Virginia Tech was that good either.
Michigan will not be as good this year. They won't win in Week 1, but if I were them I would really watch out for that Week 2 game that has trap written all over it. Air Force is no joke and can not just beat but embarrass teams who are unprepared. Michigan will be coming off the emotional Week 1 game against Alabama and could easily overlook Air Force.
Honestly here is how I see Michigan's season:
Alabama - Loss
Air Force - Loss
UMass - Win
Notre Dame - Loss
Purdue - Win
Illinios - Win
Michigan State - Win
Nebraska - Loss
Minnesota - Win
Northwestern - Win
Iowa - Win
Ohio State - Win
Wisconsin(Big 10 title game) - Loss
8-5 and probably in the Outback Bowl.
