High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2009 Michigan Wolverines football team represented the University of Michigan in the 2009 college football season. They played their home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan and competed in the Big Ten Conference. The team attempted to rebound from its worst season (loss wise) in its 130 year football history and succeeded at first, starting the season 4–0 and earning a #20 ranking in the polls. Over the final seven games the Wolverines went 1–6 however, ending the season with a 5–7 record and failing to qualify for a bowl game for the second straight year. 2008 and 2009 were Michigan`s first back-to-back sub-.500 seasons since 1962 and 1963; they also failed to win a road game for the first time since 1962.
