Michigan football makes the CFP and its opponent is revealed
Michigan football had a perfect season.
The Wolverines went 12-0 in the regular season and Michigan won the Big Ten Championship for the second straight season after beating Purdue on Saturday night, 43-22.
Even if Michigan would’ve lost to the Boilermakers, it was a foregone conclusion the Wolverines would be in the College Football Playoff for the second season in a row — it was too good of a season.
