🤔 How the 12-team CFP works
Here is the history of the College Football Playoff national championship game.
Downing one of the most efficient offenses in college football, the 15-0 Michigan Wolverines finished their perfect season by winning their first football national title this century (since 1997). Michigan topped Washington 34-13 in the 2023-24 CFP National Championship.
Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy showcased his arm as well as his legs as he tossed for 140 yards and clocked his longest carry all season at 22 yards at a crucial third-and-long in the third quarter. With his third-quarter interception and four TOTs, defensive back Will Johnson earned Defensive MVP. Donning the same jersey number as Johnson (No. 2), Blake Corum earned Offensive MVP after notching 134 rushing yards. In the game, Corum also added two rushing touchdowns to tally 58 of his career, which is a school record. He concluded during the trophy ceremony, “Business is finished.”
In his 9th season at the helm of his alma mater, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh collected his first national championship with the Wolverines. This game caps off the 10-year stint of the four-team College Football Playoff, with the playoff expansion to 12 teams for the 2024-25 season.
