Head coach Jim Harbaugh has turned his alma mater around since arriving, yet this was his first win in the CFP playoff after previously going 0-2. It’s been a controversial season for him as he missed six games with a pair of three-game suspensions, yet the Wolverines still managed to go a perfect 14-0 heading into the title game. This might be his swan song at Michigan with rumors swirling that he’s eyeing a return to the NFL in the offseason.
Meanwhile, Washington is heading to Houston following a 37-31 upset over Texas in the Sugar Bowl. The Huskies were 3.5-point 'dogs, but were a popular pick with 66% of bets and 64% of the money backing them to cover. Additionally, 74% of moneyline bets were on them to win straight up with plus-odds.
The Huskies spoke all week about how disrespectful it felt to be underdogs against Texas despite going a perfect 13-0 during the season. They’re aiming for their first national title since 1991 behind stud quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who won the Maxwell Award given to the country’s best all-around player.
