The Wolverines started the 2023 season without Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines as the school self-imposed a three-game suspension on him over recruiting violations. Then, Harbaugh was suspended for the final three games of the season over sign-stealing accusations involving staff members.

Michigan’s coaching staff would undergo a shakeup over the sign-stealing scandal, possibly putting their season in jeopardy. But in Harbaugh’s absence, the players, along with the assistant coaches, stepped up and won out. Michigan topped Maryland and Ohio and then went on to win the Big Ten Championship against Iowa.

After Monday’s win, Michigan now has a date with Washington in the national championship.
