One of college football’s most historic programs added a bit more history on Monday night in Houston: A College Football Playoff national championship for Michigan football — the program’s 12th.
But that’s not it: A Big Ten championship three-peat — the Wolverines’ first in three decades. One thousand victories — more than any other collegiate, professional or prep football team. Three straight berths in the College Football Playoff — a first for a Big Ten team. Three straight triumphs over That Team Down South — and Ryan Day. A 49-0 destruction at East Lansing — Michigan State’s most lopsided loss ever at Spartan Stadium. Rabid fans storming the field at the Big House — and at Maryland.
