2. Tennessee vs. Michigan, Music City Bowl (Nashville, Tenn.)
We’ll stick in Nashville, a fertile recruiting base for the Vols, but here’s another interesting potential Big 10 opponent in Michigan. The Wolverines have some work to do, needing at least one win with Maryland and Ohio State still to go. But this would be an interesting one on a lot of different levels. It would be a rematch of the 2002 Citrus Bowl matchup where the Vols waxed the Wolverines 45-17. There are also a lot of Michigan fans in Middle Tennessee with the auto industry connections, so it could be a good crowd. And, oh yeah, there was that report from 247Sports from October that will linger around until Michigan figures out its head coaching situation.
