The University of Michigan claims 12 national championships, with the most recent being the 2023 season (that never gets old to say). With the 2024 season fast approaching, we wanted to take a look at how previous Michigan teams have fared the years following winning a national championship.
1901-04: Fielding Yost’s Four-Peat
Michigan’s first national championship came in 1901 under Fielding Yost and his first “Point-a-Minute” team. In that season, the Wolverines comically outscored their opponents, 550-0. Yost then went on to win the national championship again in 1902, 1903 and 1904 while not losing a game in that entire stretch.
