undefeated season and for winning the 2024 National Collegiate Athletic 
 Association Division I College Football Playoff National Championship 
                                 Game.

Whereas, on January 8, 2024, the University of Michigan Wolverines defeated the 
        University of Washington Huskies 34-13, to win the National Collegiate 
        Athletic Association Division I College Football Playoff (referred to in 
        this preamble as the ``CFP'') National Championship Game;
Whereas, on January 1, 2024, the Wolverines earned a berth in the 2024 National 
        Championship Game by outlasting top-ranked Alabama in a 27-20 overtime 
        thriller at the CFP Semifinal at the historic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, 
        California;
Whereas the Michigan Wolverines finished the 2024 season with a perfect record 
        of 15 victories and 0 losses;
Whereas the 2024 CFP National Championship Game victory represents the 12th 
        football national championship in school history;
Whereas the Wolverines previously won a total of 11 National Championships, 
        winning in 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948, 
        and 1997;
Whereas this season, Michigan captured its league-leading 45th Big Ten 
        Conference title, marking the first time in program history with three 
        consecutive Big Ten championships;
Whereas Michigan, led by its seniors, finished the 2024 season ranked first in 
        the polls for the first time since 1997;
Whereas Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and his coaching staff have instilled enthusiasm 
        unknown to mankind in the University of Michigan football team players 
        while leading Team 144 back atop the college football elite;
Whereas Michigan students, faculty, staff, alumni, and all fans of the 
        University of Michigan Wolverines are to be congratulated for their 
        sportsmanship, dedication, and support of their team; and
Whereas the University of Michigan victory in the 2024 CFP National Championship 
        Game was also a victory for the entire State of Michigan: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the 2024 national champions, the 
        University of Michigan Wolverines, for their win in the 2024
