Breaking down Michigan’s path to a College Football Playoff berth

Everyone in Michigan football and everyone around Michigan football knows it — this is the year Michigan and Jim Harbaugh need to get some results.

Ever since bringing Harbaugh home, Michigan has craved the kind of success that has come to the program back in the days of Lloyd Carr and Bo Schembechler. While there have been flashes of brilliance — the Wolverines started 9-0 in 2016 and have brought in elite recruits like Rashan Gary and Donovan Peoples-Jones — Michigan has struggled against Michigan State and hasn’t beaten Ohio State once under Harbaugh, despite an abundance of talent.
