Fresh off its monumental win over Ohio State, Michigan landed at the No. 2 spot in the penultimate edition of the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday night.
It’s the highest ranking for the Wolverines (11-1), who reached No. 3 in 2016, and comes on the heels of their 42-27 win over the Buckeyes.
Michigan can secure its first outright Big Ten title since 2003 by defeating No. 13 Iowa in the Big Ten Championship Game Saturday. A win over the Hawkeyes should be enough to help the Wolverines earn their first semifinal spot.
