Michigan rivals.com mod is saying Richt to Michigan is a distinct possibililty

Have heard from a reliable UGA source that Mark Richt is going to be in play if Georgia does not go to the SEC Championship, and likely win the thing. He's done a lot of good at UGA but he's never won the national title and hasn't won a conference title since 2005. This year, the Dawgs were poised to be the wildcard of the SEC, advancing through an easy SEC East to play in the conference title game and then win one game and make the playoff. Instead, UGA suffered a humiliating loss to Florida to drop to 4-2 in conference play, and needs Missouri to lose one of its last three (at A&M, at Tennessee, Arkansas) while Georgia has to avoid losing to Auburn just to make the SEC Championship.

Prominent boosters are ready to cut ties with Richt (this could be one of those decisions they don't realize how good they had it until he's gone), and I've been told that Richt doesn't want to stay in the SEC if this happens or taken a second-tier job in any conference. He'd want to go to a big program that does things the right way. As the UGA source noted, there is only one school out there that fits the description - Michigan.

Anyway, still lots of season left to be played but just wanted to share what I heard this week.
