2023 CFP National Championship Showdown

Blake Corum occupied the captain slot at 30.2 percent captain ownership and produced 42.6 multiplier points from 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns. His raw total reached 28.4 points. Donovan Edwards added 25.4 points from 104 rushing yards and two touchdowns at 14.7 percent total ownership. The two Michigan running backs supplied 53.8 raw points and all four Michigan offensive touchdowns. The lineup omitted both quarterbacks. Michigan attempted only 18 passes and completed 10, while its rushing offense accumulated 303 yards. Washington threw 51 passes but produced one touchdown and two interceptions. Paying for either quarterback would have reduced access to Corum, Odunze, McMillan, Loveland, Edwards, or Turner without securing enough passing production to compensate for the salary change. The Washington allocation concentrated around Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan. Odunze recorded five receptions for 87 yards. McMillan caught Washington's only touchdown and added six receptions, 33 receiving yards, and nine rushing yards. The pair captured 12 of Michael Penix Jr.'s 27 completions and the entire Washington passing-touchdown output represented by the roster. Colston Loveland supplied Michigan's primary receiving contribution with three receptions for 64 yards. His 9.4 points exceeded the fantasy return from Michigan's passing game outside the roster. James Turner completed the Michigan allocation through four extra points and two short field goals, reaching 10 points at 17.3 percent ownership. Five players produced between 9.4 and 42.6 points, while Edwards supplied the main ownership separation. His 14.7 percent total ownership was the lowest among the five non-kicker selections. The lineup captured Michigan's complete touchdown distribution, Washington's only touchdown scorer, Michigan's leading receiver, and every Michigan kicking point.

Corum carried 79.8 percent total ownership and 30.2 percent captain ownership. His captain assignment did not create rare exposure by itself. The surrounding construction created the separation. Edwards appeared in 14.7 percent of lineups despite scoring two long first-quarter touchdowns and reaching the 100-yard rushing bonus. The absence of both quarterbacks redirected 20,000 or more in salary toward the two Michigan running backs, both Washington receivers, Loveland, and Turner. Corum and Edwards combined for four touchdowns. McMillan supplied Washington's only touchdown. The roster therefore held every offensive touchdown scorer from the game. Turner carried 17.3 percent ownership and produced 10 points. His salary preserved the complete touchdown structure while adding scoring from six successful kicks. Loveland produced 64 receiving yards without a touchdown and supplied a stable middle-tier result in a game where Michigan's passing volume remained limited. The lineup left 700 in salary. Replacing Turner or Loveland with a more expensive option would have altered the full touchdown coverage or removed Michigan's leading receiver. The remaining salary protected a specific six-player combination aligned with a Michigan rushing victory and restricted Washington scoring.
