In the spirit of the final BCS Championship game being played later tonight, I thought it would be fun to take a look back of some the best Michigan football players of the BCS era. If you had to assemble a starting lineup of Michigan players from 1998-2013, who would you pick?
All I have to say is, this was not an easy task. I chose to go with a fullback instead of a slot WR as Michigan featured one for the bulk of the BCS era. You have no idea how hard it was not to put Denard on the offense somewhere. But man, do I love that offensive line.
These picks are my own and of course you're welcome to offer your suggestions in the comments.
