After dominating wins over top-25 teams and winning seven straight games, Michigan football is being talked about as a contender for the College Football Playoff. In fact, many national analysts have already started projecting the Wolverines as a playoff team.
Obviously, the team shouldn’t be focused on anything other than Penn State, the team that Michigan football will play after its bye week on Nov. 3. Yet, while the team shouldn’t be focused on what will take place down the road, for fans and pundits, it’s a little tougher to stay in the moment.
The first College Football Playoff rankings will come out next week and there is a good chance Michigan is somewhere in the top five, if not the top four.
