The reaction from college football fans was as predictable as ever, but it was pretty funny too.
No. 1 Michigan capped off a perfect 15-0 season with a 34-13 win over No. 2 Washington in the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday night at NRG Stadium in Houston. The Wolverines were dominant, particularly on defense as they cornered Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. seemingly play after play.
And while several Michigan players made some standout plays to carry the team to its first national title since 1997, college football fans predictably responded with jokes. Specifically about Connor Stalions.

If you need a refresher, Stalions is the former Michigan football staffer at the heart of the Wolverines’ sign-stealing scandal that overshadowed much of the 2023 season and led to a three-game suspension for coach Jim Harbaugh.
The NCAA’s investigation into the sign-stealing scandal remains ongoing, as are the jokes, and especially now that Michigan is college football’s 2023-24 national champion.
The real question is: Does Connor Stallions get a championship ring?

What'll be funnier, Connor Stallions getting a championship ring, or the NCAA coming to his house and taking it away after it gets vacated?
