Summary
A new identity is in store and a new level of expectations are set for the Michigan Wolverines following their first College Football Playoff appearance.

McCarthy finally unseat Cade McNamara (this could get awkward) — but now there are even concerns that Jim Harbaugh could exit Ann Arbor and take an NFL job.

| 0:28.0 | I'm still in San Antonio at the All-American Ball. |
