For the first time in program history, Michigan has earned a spot in the College Football Playoff. The College Football Playoff committee revealed their final rankings this afternoon, and #2 Michigan will head to the Orange Bowl to play #3 Georgia on December 31.

This is Michigan's first trip to the Orange Bowl since 2016, when Jim Harbaugh's #6 Wolverines fell a single point short of #10 Florida State, 33-32. This is the first time in the rotation among New Years Six bowls that the Orange Bowl has been a College Football Playoff bowl game since 2018, when #1 Alabama defeated #4 Oklahoma, 45-34.
