1. Michigan (12-2), L - 34-11 vs. Georgia, Orange Bowl (CFP semifinal)
The Wolverines were completely overmatched in their College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs put up 521 total yards and jumped out to a 27-3 halftime lead on their way to an easy win over the Big Ten champs. Quarterback Cade McNamara struggled against Georgia’s vaunted defense, and threw two interceptions and was sacked four times in the loss. Michigan’s no-show in the CFP was disappointing but I can’t say there were many other teams who could have put up a better fight against the eventual national champions.
