Nice win for the Big Blue.  Enjoy it UM fans- well earned.  No question about who is the best team. 
Not many teams will have a run in their last 4 games like the Wolverines did this year-- beating Ohio State, skunking Iowa in the B1G CCG, then beating Saban's Tide, and finishing off with a pounding of undefeated Washington. 

That's one way to shed the "can't win the big one" label.

A great win. Michigan defense was simply unreal. Sainistril drove me nuts on coverage last week and most of the game this week and then was so patient on that pick.

Feel terrible for Penix. He took a beating. Ankle early, then ribs. Really tough kid.

Holding - definitely two on Michigan missed. I always think there’s plenty missed every game, but two clearly missed on Michigan. The one on Washington I want to see the original angle again. The live view, I thought it was a hold and a horse collar. The replay was borderline. Want to see coverage again.

Donovan Edwards was very misused this year. Man what a talent. Michigan play calling.. my goodness. Finally at the end of the game they targeted Loveland, ran jj and spread the field out after Washington load the box after q1. Offensive play calling took too long to adjust the last two games. 

Jj - should return. He’s not ready for the nfl at all. Great kid. Throws a great ball. Cannot read defense.

All that said. Pretty special one for Michigan fans. Starting with Appalachian state, it was a pretty tough stretch. As the sports world continues on a bizarre path, it was nice to sneak this one in before it changes further in the wrong direction.

In the poll era (1936-present), UM had 2 national championships.

If you want to include pre-leather helmet NCs where UM played 6 "non-majors" -ie FCS-level or worse, feel free.

Weird straw man.  Do they claim one before 1936, that is only disregarded for being too long ago?

Congratulations, Michigan football!

Professor Ehrhardt, my torts professor at FSU, in 1980, was outstanding at leading the class in the Socratic method, which involves constantly asking questions and pointing at class members to give answers. In1980, during rivalry week, his class started out with the question, "What do Ohio State University, and University of Florida have in common?"

Any guesses, given the year involved - 1980?

I went to bed after the pick, but great job Michigan bringing the title back up north. Kind of cool how the 4 team playoffs began and ended in much the same way with OSU and Michigan.
