Fresh off a bye week, Michigan football will travel to the Windy City to take on Northwestern in what is truly a must-win game for the Wolverines.
Michigan has zero margin for error when it comes to the College Football Playoff chase. The Wolverines are still in the thick of the Big Ten title hunt.
Michigan would need to win out, and get a loss from USC and Oregon to clinch a berth in the championship game. USC and Oregon play each other, so the Wolverines would need whichever team wins that game to lose another.
