The college football frenzy continues today with matchups featuring 17 of the nation’s top 25 teams (AP Poll) and after an offseason that brought coaching changes, conference switch-ups, and a new 12-team College Football playoff format, the 2024 season is destined to be unexpected and thrilling.
After a wild run in 2023 that ended with a 15-0 record, the Michigan Wolverines begin the quest to defend their national title with a new coach, and new defensive and offensive coordinators.
