When it comes to choosing a college, student athletes have a lot of options - but not all of them are good. One of our goals at College Factual is to give you as much information as we can - such as our Best Colleges for Division I (FBS) Men's Football in Michigan ranking - to help you make that decision.
We analyzed 5 colleges and universities across Michigan to determine which were the best for D1 (FBS) Men's Football athletes in Michigan. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality and the athletic competitiveness of the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. So, even if a school has a great team, it won't place well if it is also considered a low quality college or university.
