LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The University of Michigan Wolverines’ debut in the College Football Playoff National Championship game has prompted Governor Gretchen Whitmer to place a friendly bet.
“Michiganders and college football fans across the nation will enjoy watching the Michigan Wolverines take on the Washington Huskies in the College Football Championship,” said Governor Whitmer. “I’m confident the Wolverines will be the Victors on Monday, and I’m happy to wager Governor Inslee some Michigan-made products.

“I’m sure our Huskies will come out on top,” said Washington Governor Jay Inslee. “By the time Penix gets done with the Wolverines, your governor’s next State of the State address will be titled ‘Fix the damn secondary!’”
Each team remains undefeated throughout the season going into the championship.
The kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and will air on ESPN.
