Jim Harbaugh is a College Football Playoff National Champion.
He led Michigan to the CFP, regardless of sign stealing and another NCAA issue, to make the Wolverines the nation’s best.

Michigan earned a 34-13 victory over Washington on Monday night at NRG Stadium (Houston, Texas) to capture its first CFP National Title of the Harbaugh era. The Wolverines got a 27-20 victory over Alabama at the Rose Bowl to open the New Year in Pasadena, Calif. Crimson Tide fans are sick to their stomachs after seeing Alabama let the Rose Bowl slip away to a team that’s now a national champion. They are reacting on social media with their disappointment, but they are hungry for next season.
We let the cornballs win it all man 💔

I have no preference as to who wins this game, but the officiating has been pure trash. Just wow.

This game…I’m about to change the channel! Just even more mad at some of the mistakes #Bama made last week! They are better than both these teams! Missed opportunity

I’ll admit it. The loss still stings a week later. Had multiple chances to put the game away and shot ourselves in the foot repeatedly. Game was there for the taking and then some.

I’m not going to get on here and say BAMA should’ve been playing or that we would beat both teams tonight. Truth is… we had our chance and lost. No excuses. We will get better and come back stronger next season! 🐘💯 #RollTide #CFBPlayoff
