How has Lee Corso done with his picks this season?
Lee Corso has been a legendary figure for generations of college football fans as he has been synonymous with his headgear picks. He has a career record of 274-139 (66.34 win percentage) in his headgear selections. He was able to snap a four-game losing streak of picks with the Rose Bowl as he correctly chose the Michigan Wolverines to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Throughout the season, he has been doing well as he has an 11-5 record before the national championship game. He started the season going 5-0 and was 10-1 before cooling off and losing four consecutive picks. He chose Michigan last week, as we said earlier, but he also chose Washington back in Week 7 when they were going up against the Oregon Ducks.
Who has the advantage in tonight's game?
This game will be exciting because the first team to make a mistake will be really behind the eight-ball. The Wolverines are considered a 5.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks before kickoff.
Michigan's defense has been absolutely stellar, leading the nation with points per game allowed, while Washington's passing attack has racked up the most passing yards per game.
It is difficult to argue against the Michigan Wolverines and they should be in the driver's seat throughout this game.
