Michigan has already enjoyed its best season under the Jim Harbaugh era, sitting at No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff ranking with wins over Big Ten West division champion Northwestern, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Penn State. Its only loss came Week 1 against No. 3 Notre Dame, which enters Week 12 at 10-0.
