That is still a better alternative than not getting a chance to play and being forced to forfeit.    

The first choice should be to postpone a week.   Awarding a title or even a spot in the final via cancellation is a nuclear option and should be off the table.   

  • "If three semifinalists are unable to play, the semifinal with two unavailable teams would be declared "no contest." The unavailable team in the other semifinal would forfeit its game and its opponent would be declared the national champion. No game dates will be changed."

 

finally!  a way for michigan to actually win the national championship!

Do you not see the kid in the games?  He's hella athletic but not quite yet a field general.  He's a lot better than Joe Milton, Dylan Mccafrey and Shea Patterson but thus far Cade is a better custodi

There are definitely some differences between all the players involved though. For one even though JJ was a 5 star recruit he was nowhere near viewed as highly as Henson who was viewed as a unico

he might have been more famous, but for his failure to communicate.

I don't understand the spread being greater than a touchdown.

If you just swapped Michigan for Ohio State - had Ohio State beaten Michigan 42-27 and then Iowa 42-3 - this would not be a 7.5 point spread in UGA's favor.

I'm not trying to manufacture a disrespect card or anything, but the SEC is 0-4 so far this bowl season and expected to become at least 1-5, if not 0-6 tomorrow. Georgia was completely exposed against Alabama... I know. It's Alabama. Still.

Everything I see would expect this to be a damn close game.

Supposedly Georgia's biggest strength is the their defensive front 7. The secondary not so much - so aside from reputation, OSU would really be be a tougher match up for them. M will probably have to throw effectively to win and M's pass game is sort of a black box, We really don't know that much about what might be in there.

Have heard from the guy at work who knows some folks on the periphery of the team that Dax was exposed to covid from his brother and that's the issue. 

 

Here is this:

Yes, but I think even if the attributes were switched, Ohio State would get more of a "shot" from the oddsmakers and pundits, just based on having been there in past years. If the unstoppable force of M's run game and offensive line (okay maybe a bit hyperbolic but roll with it) meets the immoveable object of UGA's run defense, I don't think either should get more than a touchdown.

I’m going to go with

Alabama 31

Cincinnati 14

in a game that’s closer than expected until the 4th quarter

and

Michigan 23

Georgia 21

in a nail-biter until the very end, decided by an Ojabo strip sack on a UGA two minute drive in the 4th quarter.

Cincinnati 30

Alabama 22 

Bearcats shock the world and dominate in a game that’s not as close as the fInal score.

Georgia 38

Michigan 19

Georgia stops the run. UM doesn’t.   The freshman TE has a huge game off play action.

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever thought Harbaugh would take Michigan to the College Football Playoff this season. I was 100% wrong. I hope we beat the shit out of those hillbillies from Georgia! GO BLUE from the biggest doubter there ever was. Even Thomas never doubted Jesus like I doubted Harbaugh this year.

Cinnci has the worst offense in the country. They are playing in the CFB, against Bama, and they run 3 plays: slant, run up the middle and 4 yard out.   This is trash coaching.

They still should have scored at least two touchdowns so far if they weren't continuing to shoot themselves in the foot. Alabama has not looked like a National Champion tonight.

Cincinnati's defense played as well as you could ask them to through 3 quarters and their offense crapped all over the bed. Ridder doesn't look like an NFL ready QB at all and I do not want the Lions to draft him if this performance is indicative of who he might be. I get that Alabama is far more talented a team, but Cinnci's offense is lifeless and their playcalling basic and uninspiring.
