The Wolverines arrived in Miami for their Orange Bowl…

Forget about Justin Fields' foot being stepped on or his left shoulder being separated. Forget about the Bears being a 3-12 team. If you're fortunate enough to have Fields and are in the finals or semifinals of a fantasy league then this is a must-play week with him. It could even be Fields' finest moment, although it would be difficult to top…

Last year, No. 2 Michigan did something nobody was expecting. After years of struggling to break through against rival Ohio State, the Wolverines knocked off the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor, won the Big Ten and made their College Football Playoff debut. Unfortunately, what was a tremendous achievement for Jim Harbaugh's program didn't have the happiest…

And he's led Michigan, which will appear in its second straight College Football Playoff next week, to a high enough stratosphere that his words hold credence. But where…

Heading into the season, we questioned whether the Jets would have a shot at claiming both the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year awards with Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner in town.

If you're the glass half-full type, it was another season of stellar defense in the Big Ten. Of the top 10 teams nationally in scoring defense, 5 were from the B1G. Glass half-empty types will point out that the ineptitude of Big Ten offenses could be a factor in this. But it's more of a chicken-and-egg scenario. Do Big Ten offenses struggle…

The NCAA Tournament has Cinderellas and buzzer-beaters. Madness belongs to bowl season. A record 43 bowl games will be played over the next few weeks - more than double the number of bowl games held in 1997 - and 17 of them will feature at least one team without a winning record. A dizzying number of coaches and coordinators have already ditched…

LAS VEGAS - Six seasons into his run as Michigan coach, Jim Harbaugh was an overhyped underachiever. At the end of his seventh year, Harbaugh has rewritten the storyline, and now he's a hungry underdog in the hunt for the national championship. If the favorites live up to the hype in the College Football Playoff semifinals, Alabama and Georgia will…

Back just a few months ago over the summer, there weren't many who believed Michigan was capable of reaching this year's College Football Playoff. The Wolverines were coming off a 2-4 season and showed no signs of closing the gap on Ohio State in the Big Ten, forget providing a hint that they could beat the Buckeyes and compete on the national…

August is the month of hope and with hope, comes a little bit of exaggerated enthusiasm and misplaced belief. The storm before the storm of college football.

Following an offseason that again delivered a taste of conference realignment (USC and UCLA to the Big Ten in the future) and typical college football controversy (Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher going at it over recruiting), time has come to concentrate on what's actually going to happen on the field throughout the 2022 season. There's no better way…

The Michigan football team stuck to the plan this week, opting to arrive in sunny south Florida a day earlier than the Orange Bowl had scheduled.
