It’s strength against strength, and something will have to give Monday when the Michigan Wolverines face the Washington Huskies in the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship game. The No. 1 Wolverines (14-0) have the second-best pass defense in the nation, while second-ranked Washington (14-0) has the best passing offense in FBS. Michigan also has one of the best defensive fronts, while UW has an elite offensive line. The team that breaks through will win its first championship in decades. The most recent of Michigan’s 10 national titles came in 1997, and Washington won its only championship in 1991.

Washington yields 24.1 points per game (50th) and 267 passing yards per contest (122nd).
