The first was in 1901 and the most recent title was won in 1997. Going back over the team’s illustrious history, Michigan has won a total of nine college football national championships.
When head coach Bo Schembechler took over the reins in 1969, Michigan grew into the national power it is today. It was not until the 1953 football season when the Wolverines made their debut as members of the Big Ten. The game was referred to as the Tournament East-West Football Game. In the 1901 season, Michigan played in the inaugural Rose Bowl as one of the preeminent college football programs in the nation. In 1896, Michigan joined the Western Conference as a precursor to the formation of the Big Ten. The football program at Michigan University in Ann Arbor dates back to the late 1800’s. Legally betting on Wolverines football games in the state of Michigan has only enhanced the team’s relationship with its legions of fans.
The Michigan Wolverines and Big Ten football have been a solid match for quite some time.
