No. 2 Michigan Touted as 1 of Best Wolverines Teams Ever After Win over Purdue

The Michigan Wolverines may have been able to get into the College Football Playoff with a loss on Saturday, but they decided not to tempt fate by taking care of business with a 43-22 victory over Purdue in the 2022 Big Ten Championship Game.

Ranked No. 2 in the latest playoff standings, Michigan was given a built-in cushion, with No. 3 USC and No. 4 TCU both losing their respective conference title games.

The Wolverines were on upset alert early on after they fell behind 10-7 just 1:21 into the second quarter, but Luke Schoonmaker's seven-yard touchdown catch on the ensuing drive put them on top for good.
