Michigan vs Washington preview

It's easy to get carried away with games as monumental as the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship, but the matchup of the No.1-ranked Michigan Wolverines and No.2-ranked Washington Huskies at NRG Stadium on Monday is well worth frothing over. 

Not only is it an encounter between the only two unbeaten teams in the country, but it also pits college football's top-ranked defense (Michigan) against its top-ranked offense (Washington). The quality of play will be through the roof – as you'd expect it to be in the season decider – but clashes of style don't get starker than this.

Jim Harbaugh's Wolverines lived up to their reputation by racking up six sacks and producing the game-winning stop in OT against Alabama, casting off their playoff curse in the process. J. J. McCarthy and 25-TD RB Blake Corum took care of offensive matters in the hard-fought 27-20 victory, though ominously, Washington's offense has only fallen short of that total three times this season.

Maxwell Award winner Michael Penix Jr.'s arsenal is stacked with receivers. Consensus all-American Rome Odunze is his favorite target, but Ja'Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan will keep the Michigan secondary guessing. Kalen DeBoer's men did suffer a potential blow in their 37-31 victory over the Texans, however, with 16-TD RB Dillon Johnson picking up a foot problem late on.
