College football’s winningest program by its own count, Michigan claims 12 national titles, from Fielding Yost’s point-a-minute teams of 1901 to 2023. Three Wolverines won the Heisman: Tom Harmon, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson. Home is Michigan Stadium, the Big House, the largest stadium in the country.

Michigan has played football since 1879 and is 999–⁠360–⁠35 in the 1,394 games on record here, which start in 1881. The Wolverines have finished No. 1 in the final AP poll three times, most recently in 2023. They have won 45 Big Ten Conference titles (the last in 2023), counting shared titles. Since 1941, the NFL Draft has taken 308 players from here in its first seven rounds, 56 of them in the first round. The AAFC and AFL drafts also took 12 players from here. The College Football Hall of Fame holds 34 players and 6 coaches from Michigan. Bo Schembechler (1969–⁠1989) won more games here than any other coach: 194. The most-played rival is Ohio State: 121 meetings, Michigan leads 62–⁠52–⁠6 (one Ohio State win vacated). This season, under Kyle Whittingham, they’re 4–⁠2.

As the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.
