On the whole, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has engineered a remarkable turnaround. Last year Harbaugh was nearly fired. Michigan was coming off a horrendous NCAA Football betting season. As a result, Harbaugh tried to find an NFL life raft. But there was none to be found. So he stayed at Michigan and, as he said, bet on himself. Harbaugh led Michigan to its first Big Ten championship in 17 years. But there is the possibility of an even bigger prize. Michigan is in the College Football Playoff. Concurrently they will meet the Georgia Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl.
