Michigan snaps conference championship drought, headed to CFP

For so long, the Michigan football program was on the precipice of conquering the conference, to finally punch its ticket to the College Football Playoff. Now, the Big Ten Championship drought is officially dead as the Wolverines have been crowned conference champions after cruising to a 42-3 victory over Iowa on Saturday. The Wolverines are Big Ten champions for the first time since the 2004 season, where, coincidentally, U-M was crowned co-champions with Iowa.
