Dates marked announced come from the college itself, with the announcement linked. Dates marked expected rest on the evidence named right next to the date — that college's own release history or the timeline its admissions office publishes — and the label switches to announced only when the college says so.

Where to check
Decisions post to the applicant portal, not your inbox — the email just says the portal updated. Check yours at enrollmentconnect.umich.edu.
Official timing straight from the school: Michigan admissions.
Decisions post to Enrollment Connect in waves rather than one drop — an empty portal in January usually means a later wave, not a decision.
