Michigan Football: Wolverines add to resume with big win over Wisconsin
Could Michigan make the Playoff?
As things continue to shake up in college football, the chances the Michigan Wolverines are considered for a spot in the College Football Playoff continue to increase. Michigan nearly beat Notre Dame in their first game of the season. And the Irish remain impressively undefeated.
So long as Notre Dame looks good, so does Michigan. Further along in the season, the Wolverines still have to play Michigan State, Penn State, and Ohio State. Then they have to win the Big Ten Championship Game.
But if they can win those games, there is no doubt a one-loss Michigan team makes it into the College Football Playoff. Jim Harbaugh is finally ready to make a big run at the National Championship, and it helps that he has a quarterback who can help him get there.
Shea Patterson showed off his mobility this week against Wisconsin with 90 yards on the ground from nine carries and a touchdown. This performance on the ground by Patterson will force defenses to prepare for more possibilities and open up the playbook for the Wolverines.
