The University of Michigan is represented by the Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA Division I-A college football wars. Michigan's football squad is probably one of the most decorated college programs not only in the Big East, but in the entire NCAA as well. Aside from its distinctive helmet design, fight song, and record-breaking attendance figures, the Wolverines easily stands out from the NCAA pack as the winningest team in Division I-A history with a 74.53% winning percentage.

Michigan's football program began competing independently in intercollegiate football in 1879, but found a home with the Big Ten Conference 18 years later. It didn't take long for the Wolverine dynasty to step up to the plate as they immediately won the Big 10 Conference title two years later. Since then, the team has compiled 10 national titles (1901,'02,'03,'04,'18,'23,'32,'33,'48,'97) and 42 conference championships which currently is the most any team has won in any conference. The team has also appeared in 38 Post Season Bowl Games, winning 18 of them and is home to 3 Heisman winners, 76 All-Americans, 7 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees, and hordes of active NFL players.

Michigan's rivalry with Ohio State is also considered as one of the greatest rivalries in American Sports.

Highlights

One of the most memorable games in Michigan football history took place in October 15, 2005, when the Wolverines took on the Nittany Lions. Trailing 21-25, Michigan was down to one last play which turned out to be the game winner. Chad Henne threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham as time expires giving Penn State its only loss that season.
