By The Numbers: Michigan Football Vs. Washington Huskies
Michigan is seeking its first national championship since 1997, and the Wolverines are looking to get their first one during the new era of the College Football Playoff.
Michigan has seen nothing but perfection this season, but so has its counterpart Washington. The Huskies, much like Michigan, have been underdogs all year and were projected to lose to rival Oregon twice, but prevailed in both games.
Both the Wolverines and Huskies had doubters that neither could beat Alabama or Texas, but once again, both accomplished those goals. Now with just one final game remaining, there can only be one champion and one team will end the season with a loss.
Here's how both teams stack up against one another on paper.
