College football is now done until Week 0 in August, with the national championship game now in the books.
Despite losing to national champion Georgia in the College Football Playoff, would the Michigan Wolverines, who finished No. 3 in the AP Top 25, be looked at as highly in the eyes of the coaches around college football?
The final USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll is now out, and Michigan football did, in fact, finish at No. 3, with wins over No. 5 Ohio State and No. 23 Iowa, with losses to No. 8 MSU and No. 1 Georgia.
