ESPN’s Mark Schlabach predicts that Michigan will defeat Ohio State this year and make it to the National Championship game before falling to Alabama.
I’m picking Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and Oklahoma to make the playoffs. Alabama will play Michigan in the national championship game, which will be preceded by an eight-day Twitter war between Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh and Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. Sadly, the Twitter war will be more entertaining than the actual game.
The Wolverines went 10-3 in Harbaugh’s first season and throttled SEC East champion Florida 41-7 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl. But there was also an ugly 42-13 loss to Ohio State in the Big House. Harbaugh despises the Buckeyes. The Wolverines won’t lose to OSU this season. They will beat the Buckeyes at the Horseshoe to win the Big Ten.
