Sugar Bowl

It was announced last night that the Michigan Wolverines football team will be playing the Bowl Championship Series. The Wolverines will be taking on the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 3, 2012 at 8:30 p.m.

This is the first time since 2006 that Michigan will be playing in a BCS game and the first time in school history playing Virginia Tech. The Wolverines finished the regular season, 10-2. Virginia Tech regular season record was 11-2.

This will be Michigan's fifth appearance in a BCS game. Michigan has a 1-3 record in BCS games. In 2000, they defeated Alambama in the Orange Bowl, 35-34 in overtime and lost to USC in the 2004 & 2005 Rose Bowl and Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
