Michigan Wolverines

The Michigan Wolverines suffered a crushing 27-17 road loss to Washington on Saturday night, falling to 4-2 on the year. With its second loss of the season now in the books, Michigan's chances of making the new 12-team College Football Playoff took a massive hit. In fact, the Wolverines will likely need to win out in order to qualify for this year's playoff - which is a pretty tall task with undefeated teams like Oregon, Indiana, and Ohio State still remaining.
