All season, it was "Michigan vs. Everybody" within the walls of the Wolverines' program.
Now it's down to Michigan vs. Washington.
The No. 1 Wolverines (14-0) will face the No. 2 Huskies (14-0) in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Jan. 8 at NRG Stadium in Houston. This year's title game -- the last in a four-team playoff before the field expands to 12 in 2024 -- will feature two undefeated teams making their first appearance in the championship game in the BCS era.
Galvanized by accusations of an elaborate cheating scandal that became the biggest story of the season, Michigan has found ways to overcome obstacles and win -- a consistent trait that propelled them to a 27-20 overtime win against SEC champion Alabama on Monday night in the CFP Semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game Presented by Prudential.
