College Football - Championship Week

[OleMissCub]

Mustache man has spoken.

 

 

I’m hearing it’s 4 years/7.5 mil a year. 4 years is the longest contract a state employee can have in Mississippi for some reason.

[Andy]

Ok so 3 spots are likely clinched. 4th spot is either Michigan who has to beat a top 15 team to get in or Notre Dame who gets to chill out because they wont join a conference

Iowa as a top 15 team says a lot more about this year in college football than it does about Iowa

It's sort of a bummer (for me, nobody else cares) that ND will probably be playing Oklahoma State now in the bowl instead of Michigan State. MSU would've been a more fun matchup. And maybe an easier one, though if today's Cowboy team shows up in Glendale, maybe not.

I was really hoping we’d have the chance to play y’all in Fiesta. Notre Dame v Ole Miss would have been a fun and unique matchup.

Definitely would've been, but unfortunately geography dictated Ole Miss would've gone to the Peach. Of course as it turned out, Bama winning means you're headed to the Sugar which is a pretty swell consolation prize.

I'm probably overreacting to today's results but I bet Michigan vs Georgia is a competitive game. Georgia's resume suddenly looks a bit suspect after they got blasted by the first very good team they played. Their offense just isn't that great and UM can probably hold them down enough to make it close. Or maybe it's just my natural pessimism.

I think Michigan and whoever the 4 seed is gets absolutely throttled in the playoffs vs Georgia and Bama. The BIG sucks this year and Iowa really sucks. We’re getting a Bama-Georgia championship. I’d be pretty shocked if Bama and Georgia aren’t 2 point favorites in their first round games.

[UMFan83]

This is a dream right? Harbaugh really brought Michigan to the CFP? Unreal. So glad I stuck with him over the last coue of years. I did wobble a little bit after the MSU game but at the end of the day he was going to do it eventually if he got by OSU

 

Also, the results of today are not great for their playoff shots. I think they can win but it’s going to be a pretty big upset if it happens. If they are going to lose, just have a better showing than MSU had a few years ago

Michigan's strength is running the ball. They won't be able to do that against Georgia. Georgia 30+ to 6.

 

Georgia has better coaches and better players. Georgia's strength on defense will suffocate Michigan.

Michigan can beat Georgia. Georgia’s best win all year is a home win against Arkansas. They aren’t the juggernaut the media has made them out to be. Have faith.

It's not like Georgia's offense is all that great and Michigan's got a pretty solid defense. Held Ohio State to their second lowest point total of the season.

[Derwood]

Harbaugh remains a total weirdo, but good job UM

Might be a 10-7 game. I feel like both teams' strengths play into the other's.

Happy for you. My sister is a UM grad and my nephew was on the field after the OSU win. On that basis I’m rooting for you.

 

Might have to change my mind if my Instagram feed doesn’t calm down though.

[NOLA]

Arkansas vs Penn St in the Outback Bowl. Should be a good game.

 

Baylor vs Ole Miss in the Sugar should be an awesome game.

Better than I thought. Saw a lot of rumors around Penn St vs UCLA or Arizona St

Penn State key to victory? If Treylon Burks sits out to get ready for the draft, Nittany Lions win.

[Andy]

MSU vs Pittsburgh in the Peach could be 52-49 if Pickett plays. A couple minor bowls that catch my attention on first look are Iowa State/Clemson in the Cheez-It and UCF/Florida in the Gasparilla just for the novelty and likely sellout crowd.

UCF/Florida will be interesting. Gators likely won’t give a horsefeathers about being there, plus Gus Malzhan gets to stick it to an SEC team.
