Deception
(50%)

Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Michigan and Washington are set to square off for a national championship on Monday when they have only played each other once before. Secondly, the author selectively reports details of their all-time record against Washington without mentioning any losses or ties which would give a more accurate representation of their history together.

Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Michigan and Washington have a considerable amount of distance between one another without providing any evidence or context for this claim.

Thirdly, the article contains an informal fallacy of false analogy by comparing Michigan's record against Washington to a national championship game without providing any context or evidence for this comparison.
