It will be a battle of unbeatens on the national championship stage.
The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines and No. 2 Washington Huskies emerged victorious in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff to keep their perfect seasons alive. Michigan rallied for a thrilling overtime win over No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl, while Washington held off No. 3 Texas for a dramatic Sugar Bowl victory.
But only one of Michigan or Washington will finish with an unblemished 15-0 record as the two programs are set for an epic national title game showdown. Michigan is seeking to win its first national championship since 1997, while Washington is looking to end a national title drought that dates back to 1991.
