Why you should back Michigan
Michigan's wins haven't always been pretty, but new head coach Sherrone Moore has kept the Wolverines in the playoff mix through five weeks. After Texas came to Ann Arbor and controlled a Week 2 matchup on the way to a 31-12 win, the Wolverines bounced back two weeks later in their next marquee matchup, beating USC 27-24 despite entering that game as a 4-point underdog.
Running back Kalel Mullings has been perhaps the biggest surprise for the Wolverines. A converted linebacker, Mullings has taken over as lead back over Donovan Edwards, who was expected to carry this offense. Mullings is averaging 7.0 yards per carry compared to 4.9 for Edwards and he has six touchdowns on the season. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Washington
It's a new era for Washington under head coach Jedd Fisch, who came from Arizona after Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama following last year's run to the title game. The Huskies got off to a fast start in Big Ten play, beating Northwestern 24-5 and covering as 11.5-point favorites in Week 4. However they fell 21-18 at Rutgers last Friday night in the first of what will be many cross-country trips in their new conference.
Husky Stadium, however, should be rocking as Washington hosts its first Big Ten giant. Michigan's physicality on both sides of the ball could present issues, however Washington has the far superior passing attack, led by quarterback Will Rogers, giving Washington a path to win and cover.
