Where to Watch Michigan vs. Washington on NBC’s Big Ten Saturday Night
It’s a rematch between last year’s National Championship teams, but this time it's all Big Ten.
No names were bigger in college football last season than the Michigan Wolverines and the Washington Huskies, the two teams who tangoed in January of this year to determine the national champion.
The Wolverines won that matchup decisively, of course, outpacing the Huskies by a 34-13 score enroute to ascending to the top of the college football heap. But much has changed for both teams since their fateful face-off back in January, a fact that adds new layers of intrigue to this weekend’s hugely anticipated regular-season rematch in a Big Ten Saturday Night battle coming to NBC and Peacock.

Thanks to big-time departures at the end of last season, both Michigan and Washington will field new head coaches when they meet again this Saturday. The Wolverines are 4-1 this season under new coach Sherrone Moore (former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is now with the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers). The Huskies, meanwhile, hold a 3-2 record under new head coach Jedd Fisch, who stepped in after former Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer sailed south to succeed Nick Saban as head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Even bigger changes have been wrought by conference realignment, which should set up Michigan and Washington to start seeing more of each other in conference collisions like the one happening Saturday. As of this current college football season, they’re both members of the mighty Big Ten, with Washington moving over to join the conference this season in the wake of a major shakeup within the Huskies’ former Pac-12.
