It was the biggest win in Michigan football history -- until maybe the next one. We're going back over some of what was truly amazing about the Rose Bowl win over Alabama before digging into Washington. They say styles make fights, yeah? Well, these two teams couldn't be more stylistically different. Who Washington compares to statistically before we get into the advanced analytics and what they have to say about each team and their position groups. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Of course the NCAA decided to drop its notice of allegations against Michigan football and Jim Harbaugh on signing day -- of course. While trying to somehow inflict maximum damage on a meager crime, if there even was one, the NCAA continues to prove that it's a joke. We discuss all of that, move onto Jaishawn Barham's commitment on Wednesday and what he brings to the table -- along with other transfer portal news and targets. Then, why this team is particularly special. Support Us By Supporting ...

For some reason, The Athletic's Bruce Feldman decided to allow multiple Big Ten coaches to give anonymous quotes about why they think Michigan football maybe isn't that good for one reason or another.
