The Michigan Wolverines are on top of the college football world.
Their schedule may not have been the toughest we’ve ever seen, but they proved to be the best team in the country and passed every single test with flying colors.
Last Monday, they put the cherry on top of their magical undefeated season with a dominating 34-13 win over the Washington Huskies.
For the first time in the @CFBPlayoff era, @umichfootball is the National Champion.

Now, the question on everyone’s minds is will Harbaugh return to Michigan? Or will he soon be heading off to the NFL?
Most people expect him to leave … He will interview with the Los Angeles Chargers this week. It’s no secret the deep respect and admiration he has for Bolts quarterback Justin Herbert.
Needless to say, Michigan fans hope Harbaugh stays put. There’s a lucrative contract extension waiting for him to sign if he’s interested.
It’s been quite a ride for Harbaugh in Ann Arbor. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that many Michigan fans were calling for him to be fired. (Not all, but many.)
The roller-coaster ride during Harbaugh’s Michigan tenure only made last Monday’s triumph that much sweeter.
Speaking of sweet, footage has emerged from Harbaugh’s postgame locker room speech…

“We stood strong and tall because we knew we were innocent,” Harbaugh told the media, regarding the Wolverines controversial sign-stealing scandal.
“I’d like to point that out. And these guys are innocent. And overcome that, it wasn’t that hard because we knew we were innocent. So yeah, that’s really what I wanted to say. It went exactly how we wanted it to go. It went exactly how we wanted it to go,” he said.

The celebratory atmosphere raged in the Wolverines locker room following their national title victory.
Harbaugh and the team sung “It’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine,” as they enjoyed their accomplishment to the fullest – especially knowing how much uncertainty lies ahead.

What do you think will end up happening with Harbaugh?
Will he head off to the NFL? … Or will he shock the doubters and decide to stay put at Michigan?
We know that quarterback J.J. McCarthy is on his way to the NFL … Perhaps that’s a sign. There was some thinking that McCarthy might return to Michigan if Harbaugh does.
Either way, we’ll soon find out…
