2023-24 College Football Playoff scores, results

Downing one of the most efficient offenses in college football, the 15-0 Michigan Wolverines finished their perfect season by winning their first football national title since 1997. Michigan topped Washington, 34-13, in the 2023-24 CFP National Championship Game.

Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy showcased his arm as well as his legs as he tossed for 140 yards and clocked his longest carry all season at 22 yards on a crucial third-and-long in the third quarter. With a key third quarter interception, defensive back Will Johnson earned Defensive MVP. Donning the same jersey number as Johnson (No. 2), Blake Corum earned Offensive MVP after notching 134 rushing yards. He also added two rushing touchdowns to tally 58 of his career — a school record. He concluded during the trophy ceremony, “Business is finished.”

In his ninth season at the helm of his alma mater, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh collected his first national championship with the Wolverines. The game capped off the 10-year stint of the four-team College Football Playoff, with the playoff expansion to 12 teams for the 2024-25 season.
