The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines defeated the No. 2 Washington Huskies 34-13 to win their first College Football Playoff National Championship and outright national title since 1948 (the Wolverines split the title with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in 1997).
The 74 years between outright national titles is the most in the AP Poll era, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. In his 13th season as an FBS head coach, Jim Harbaugh becomes the first person to win his first national title this late into a head-coaching career since the Texas Longhorns' Mack Brown in 2005.
