Hail to the victors.

Michigan, the winningest program in college football history, reclaimed the sport’s throne for the first time in 26 years with Monday night’s 34-13 national championship victory over No. 2 Washington.

It is Michigan’s first national title since splitting the 1997 championship (with Nebraska) and the school’s first solo crown since 1948.

Michigan took an early lead on two long touchdowns runs by Donovan Edwards.
