University of Michigan: The Leaders and Best
The University of Michigan Wolverines claim the most wins in college football history, establishing a long and storied tradition of excellence.
The program's identity is defined by its iconic winged helmets, its massive stadium known as "The Big House," and its legendary rivalries.
Coach Fielding Yost forged the program's initial identity in the early 1900s with his dominant "Point-a-Minute" teams.
In the 1940s, coach Fritz Crisler introduced the famous winged helmet and led the "Mad Magicians" to a national title.
The legendary Bo Schembechler redefined Michigan football for the modern era, instilling a culture of toughness and waging the "Ten Year War" against rival Ohio State. That tradition of championship football continued under coaches Lloyd Carr, who won the 1997 national title with Heisman winner Charles Woodson, and Jim Harbaugh, who led the Wolverines to the 2023 national crown.
From Yost's early dominance to the present day, Michigan maintains its status as a pillar of college football history. 🏈
