2023 B1G Championship: #2 Michigan Wolverines (12-0) vs. #16 Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2)

Louisville might tie it up in that other game.

No way Washington jumps Michigan. 

Think of this.   Michigan knows Iowa has no offense and maybe they are purposely playing the most vanilla game they can get away with so they don't show much of anything.     But keep in mind that Iowa's defense is probably better than any of the playoff teams.    

 

Michigan is going to really struggle in the playoff game.    But they will be # 1 and it will be the Rose Bowl, for the first time in forever.

Louisville is about to tie it up to start the 4th.  I think Michigan should be #1 and FSU should be 4th.  Let Washington play either Texas or Alabama.  

Disagree with the idea that Michigan should be #1. If the CFB Playoff Committee takes any recency bias into account and how a team has looked recently than Washington deserves to be #1. This offense has been dreadful tonight. Washington looked electric and went toe-to-toe with Oregon and even came back on offense to get the win. As much as I want us to be #1, I just can't help but feel Washington should be given how good they looked against Oregon and how pathetic we've looked tonight on offense.

Louisville really screwed that first and goal up.  

[romad1]

JJ will be better in a month.  The OL will figure some things out in a month.   We might still lose in the Rose Bowl because its a bowl game and its Michigan.

Florida State stands and Louisville forced to kick the field goal.

10-6 Seminole lead

Second and goal was worse than first and goal and third and goal wasn’t much better

Everybody snuck in a six pack is my guess

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Another punt. Our 6th punt of the night. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Only questions remaining is whether Michigan covers and who Michigan plays next

And they’ve been better than the supposed Big Ten punter of the year!!!

[Mr.TaterSalad]

If FSU hangs on and wins and we win I think the CFB playoffs should be . . .

 

1. Washington

2. Michigan

3. Florida State

4. Texas

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Hey Ron English is Louisville's DC. I did not know that.

[MichiganCardinal]

FSU hanging on is no given. Louisville has the ball and momentum

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Damn,  Louisville got to the punter and has great field position inside the FSU 15 yard line now.

[MIguy]

Michigan is going to win this, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of their play calling on offense just isn't working and they absolutely refuse to make adjustments.  They did exactly the same thing against Georgia a couple years ago and got their teeth kicked in as a result.  You can't just keep running the same plays over and over thinking that eventually they're going to work. 

[lordstanley]

Louisville around 12 yards away from taking the lead. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

What a defensive play by FSU!

[romad1]

Woot!  Braiden McGreggor!

[MichiganCardinal]

Picked!!

Amen! Agree with all of this. They're going to get killed playing anyone not named Florida State if this is how they show up and play. 

INTERCEPTION FLORIDA STATE!!!!!!!

[romad1]

JJ taking too long back there with that pass rush and this OL being dinged.

[MichiganCardinal]

That should have been a flag on Iowa. Thats cheap.
