I get it's 'right' for a 12-1 TCU to make the playoff over 10-2 Alabama... I still think 10-2 Bama wins 8/10 matchups against TCU head-to-head.
-
TCU bailed out by the black box that is football rules.
-
The group that searches the nation for 19-22 year olds who can throw a football five yards with the worst possible form.
-
I really think even if they don't they'll stay at #3 if it keeps these matchups true.
-
They're still 12-0, if they're the opponent Michigan still can't in looking ahead... But yeah, I think they would pose a much nicer landing pad than Georgia did last year.
-
14-10 Kansas State leads at the half. TCU is lucky it's only 4... TCU has lived off of the 4th quarter comeback, so I'm sure they're pretty confident with where they're at.
-
If they get another shot, I want it to be for the National Championship. They'll likely get some players back for the semifinal, and I don't want them to have back-to-back games against Michigan having heard nothing for 5 weeks but how they got their asses kicked.
-
No, but they do sometimes stop playing offense.
-
I think a TCU loss lets the committee play with the seeding. If Michigan lands at #2, you can leave 12-1 TCU at #3 above 11-1 OSU under the justification that their loss came to a top ten team in an extra game at a neutral field, while Ohio State's came by 22 at home... or if Michigan lands at #1, you can put TCU at #4 and say that you think Ohio State's resume is better. I don't think we will have a semifinal rematch unless their hand is forced. TCU win, UM win, and Georgia loss might do it if they don't have the courage to drop Georgia to #4 below Ohio State.
-
A TCU loss probably helps if you don't want a UM/OSU semifinal rematch. The Committee would be able to put OSU and TCU at 3 or 4 interchangeably with justification and they'd probably avoid the instant rematch no matter where Michigan and Georgia land.
-
Give me TCU -1, Purdue +16.5 (Michigan ML), and LSU +17.5 (Georgia ML).
-
There has never been a rematch in a CFP Semifinal game. If there has to be a rematch, I'd much prefer it for the championship. Even a close TCU loss (to a top ten team on a neutral field in a 13th game) might keep them above OSU (and their loss by 22 to the #2 team at home).
-
This is what the PAC 12 has done ever since the CFP became a thing. Teams by conference to make the CFP (counting the presumed four this year): SEC: 11 (Alabama x7, Georgia x3, LSU) B1G: 8 (Ohio State x5, Michigan State, Michigan x2) ACC: 7 (Clemson x6, Florida State) Big 12: 5 (Oklahoma x4, TCU) Other: 3 (Notre Dame x2, Cincinnati) PAC 12: 2 (Oregon, Washington)
-
Williams is hurt and looks pretty bad.
-
Is the PAC-12 about to do what the PAC-12 does best and find a way out of making the playoff?
-
I would take Purdue and the points in this one. I don't think it's a repeat of 2021 Iowa. -
Beating Ohio State twice in one season, the second time to win a National Championship, would be the greatest Michigan season of all time, probably for all time. I'm not a gambling man though. Losing to Ohio State in a National Championship would be a massive let down. I'm okay playing TCU and then Georgia or USC if it wins a National Championship.
-
They merged with Chevron in the early 2000s. Lots of "76" in the west and south... It's all branding nowadays, everything is owned by someone. Hell, 7/11 just recently bought out Speedway.
-
The first spread I saw when I made the thread was Lions -1. I'm now seeing it as Jags -1. I'm also surprised by that.
-
Really poor tackling by Utah on that long run.
-
I'm so tired of hearing the adage "it's hard to beat the same team twice"... I've heard it all week about UM/OSU and then all day about Utah/USC. It's not supported by fact. In the category of stats no one asked for, here are the records in rematches for the teams that won the regular season matchup... ACC Championship: 2-3 Big 12 Championship: 6-5 B1G Championship: 1-0 PAC12 Championship: 5-1 SEC Championship: 5-2 Playoff/Championship: 0-2 That's a total of 19-13 (59%) in favor of the team that won the first game. If anything, it's fair to say that championship games are generally tough to predict because they're played by two very good teams. Good teams are hard to beat once and hard to beat twice, I think it doesn't get substantially harder the second time around. I still think USC will win this game, because I think they're the better team. I just hate that saying.

I think it may have been in Michigan’s interests to have suspended Mazi for the Indiana game. “Violation of Team Rules”. I don’t think not doing so is hypocritical. The tunnel incident and subsequent reaction is simply not comparable to the Mazi incident and subsequent reaction.
-
Is this contractual? I have to imagine plenty of the NY6 games would be drooling over the proposition of getting USC. I would think even if USC loses and Utah does go to the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl would take USC in a heartbeat as their at large team.
-
Damn. Sucks for the team, but sucks even more for him. He was on his way to being a day two pick. RBs coming off a knee injury plummet. He may consider returning to Michigan for his senior year if he thinks he can replicate his numbers from this year and put himself back up the draft board.
