The Michigan vs Washington showdown for the CFP National Championship is set to be played on Monday. Both teams have remained undefeated this season and will now be looking to be crowned as the best team of 2023-24.
The Michigan Wolverines three-peated the Big Ten Championship by defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 26-0 in December. With a 13-0 campaign in the bag following this victory, they secured a berth in the playoff and won the Rose Bowl against Alabama.
On the other hand, the Washington Huskies won their first Pac-12 championship under second-year coach Kalen DeBoer. This guaranteed them a spot in the playoff and thwarted the Texas Longhorns 37-31 in the Sugar Bowl.

What to expect in the CFP National Championship?
The CFP National Championship, at the NRG Stadium, Houston, is going to be a clash between two coaches looking for their first national championship win with their respective teams. Both teams have clashed with each other 13 times so far.
The Wolverines currently lead the series 8-5 and are on a two-game winning streak over Washington. Their last victory was back in the 2021 season when they won 31-10 at their home ground in Ann Arbor. Jim Harbaugh was the coach of the Wolverines back then and Washington was under the leadership of Jimmy Lake.
With the kind of reputation DeBoer has built in just two years and as his team faces Harbaugh's Wolverines, one can expect a high-octane game.
