I don’t claim to be a college football historian. I was born in 1994 so I have no memory of the 1997 National Championship team, however I’ve heard and read about them extensively. That also obviously means that I have no memories of a Michigan Rose Bowl win.
Since I started being an avid fan during the Chad Henne, Mike Hart, and Braylon Edwards era, Michigan has never won a CFP or a BCS title. They have beaten the Buckeyes five times: in 2003, against interim coach Luke Fickell in 2011, and then again in back-to-back-to-back years from 2021 to 2023, as we all know.
