This Michigan team looks like the deepest and most talented of the Jim Harbaugh era. And the mission is clear — capture a national title. byAustinMeek examines how the Wolverines stack up against other national championship teams of the CFP era:
Though all of those teams were loaded with talent, simply adding up draft picks and five-star recruits doesn’t tell the whole story. The premise of this project was to focus on the 36 players who contributed the most to each national championship team’s success.The five-star quarterback holding a clipboard might be great someday, but he doesn’t factor into this calculation. Neither does the future first-round pick who plays a handful of snaps.
Using a point system, I measured recruiting rankings, experience and draft talent at each position for the nine national champions from the CFP era, plus Michigan’s projected rotation for 2023. A top-50 recruit in the 247Sports Composite counted for five points, descending to one point for a recruit ranked in the 400s. A first-round pick was worth five points; a player drafted in the 200s was worth one.
Though not exactly scientific, these results provided a rough profile of a national championship roster. They show how these teams were constructed, where the draft talent was concentrated and how many blue-chip recruits are needed at each position. Draft data is incomplete for the recent champions, and projecting Michigan’s future draft picks takes a lot of guesswork.
