We have to begin things today with congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines on winning the final National Championship of the 4-team playoff era. While they are one of the more controversial champions in recent memory, the players themselves were quite deserving of the moniker of the best team this year. 

That’s not to say the Washington Huskies were not deserving. Michael Penix Jr. was absolutely terrific this season, but he was unable to come up with the big play against the Wolverines in the final game.Â
