ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Quarterback J.J. McCarthy's two years at Michigan has been defined by wins over archrival Ohio State, Big Ten championships and College Football Playoff losses.
As McCarthy prepares for his third season at Michigan and second as the starter, his goals are clear: Keep the first two trends going and reverse the results in the third category. Michigan, which had not made the CFP until 2021, is 0-2 in the event after semifinal losses to Georgia and TCU. The Wolverines are seeking their first national championship since 1997.
