Who's favored to win the National Championship?

Michigan will play Washington in the National Championship

The Michigan Wolverines beat the Alabama Crimson Tide in overtime in the Rose Bowl to advance to the National Championship, while the Washington Huskies beat the Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl.

Since the matchup has been set, Michigan opened as a 4.5-point favorite and the line has held, but with four days still to go, plenty could change.

The Huskies are also in a familiar spot, as Washington has been an underdog in its past two games.

"I just think we prove everybody wrong time and time again, and we'll continue to do that," Washington linebacker Bralen Trice said. "You can overlook us all you want, but we go out there and we prove everybody wrong every time."

Michigan, meanwhile, has dealt with plenty of controversy this season with all the sign-stealing allegations. Coach Jim Harbaugh said he's proud of how his team has responded.

"It's almost been an unfair advantage, all the things that the team has gone through," Harbaugh said. "We don't care anymore. Don't care what people say. Don't care about anything that comes up. We just know we're going to overcome it."

Kickoff for the National Championship is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 8, at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
