The College Football Playoff National Championship game is finally here. The Washington Huskies and Michigan Wolverines face off in a battle of undefeated teams, and a battle of future Big Ten Conference opponents. The Washington football team defeated Texas in the Sugar Bowl and the Michigan football program edged Alabama in the Rose Bowl in overtime.
With the game taking place in NRG Stadium in Houston, ticket prices have suddenly skyrocketed for the game, and one fan dropped $46,308 on a series of tickets on the Washington side, per Darren Rovell.

Washington-Michigan storylines
There are plenty of storylines for both teams in this game. For the Michigan football program, this sure looks like the last game Jim Harbaugh coaches before he goes to NFL, whether it is with the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, or somebody else.
The Washington football program went undefeated in its final year in the Pac-12 as Kalen DeBoer has turned out to be a perfect hire. Michael Penix Jr. missed out on the Heisman Trophy to Jayden Daniels, although conversations have been had that he deserves the award.
Nonetheless, the ticket prices for this game have exploded as of late.
