Column off the title game, on Michigan being the most unique champion of the Playoff era. Always bittersweet to file after the last game, especially this one, which I missed in-person after the passing of my father. (More on him inside.) ⬇️ FREE story:

Tweet card media

This Michigan team is as unique of a champion as you'll see in the Playoff era

The Harbaughs are on top of the football world. Plus, a goodbye to my dad, and the lessons I'll take from this emotional weekend.
