Purdue/Michigan Big 10 Championship…

[Ingomike]

Yeah. 1st quarter took about 50 minutes. Good game so far. Upset of USC last night and TCU in the early game. Thinking Ohio State will be back in the playoffs and USC will be out

Three hours and eight minutes to get to the fourth quarter. Ugh…

No doubt. Long game for sure.

Purdue is hanging tough. Knew they would. They show up for the big games....most times at least

Georgia
Michigan
TCU
OSU

GA V OSU
M V TCU

Unlikely, but could you imagine THE GAME?
Hard to beat someone twice if you can get there.

 

[HoughMade]

Purdue looked strong, they are on the upswing.

Get that red zone offense figured out and they will be formidable.

 

[HoughMade]

GO BLUE!!!!

You do realize that Michigan has more wins over Ohio State in the history of the series.

I prefer to see the best 2 teams play

GA is the best team in college football. I want UM to play them for a natty.

Alabama is lobbying hard to get in. I could see TCU dropping, but they’re still one loss. Nick Sabin is whining about his two losses not meaning anything. I don see any realistic justification for OSU or TCU not staying in the playoffs.

I think GA and Michigan obviously stay #1 and #2. OSU #3. TCU #4. If that’s the final ranking, GA plays TCU and Michigan plays OSU. I think OSU is better than TCU. But who kniws how they’ll rank. But no way should bamma be in it at this point.

Probably right, but it sucks for a team to rise to the occasion and soundly beat their bitter rival, only to have to play them again to get to the National championship. No one else in the country has to do that.

Definitely. If they're gonna bring back ohio state I think they should be in at #4. That way it's Georgia vs Ohio State and Michigan vs TCU.

I believe the committee will set it up this way as to avoid as best they can a replay of the Michigan/Ohio State game

I hope so.

Saw that interview. Sabin is a good coach, but 0 morals. Can’t stand the guy. His 2 losses mean he can sit the playoffs this year. Probably whining because of some clause in his contract and he’s losing big bucks.

You can head home now…

Lasted until it was 28-16 and AOC threw the red zone interception. Sailed home!

I was asking the Michigan fans how winning the Big Game then losing the Championship to OSU would feel...

 

[Ingomike]

Did you guys know that a top way of predicting wins (not spreads) is simply looking at the number of 5 star recruits on the teams? Remarkably accurate.

Georgia has 16, Ohio State 14, Michigan 2, TCU has 0, as best I can see.

I used to go to a site that had all the major teams listed with the number of five and four star recruits each had.

It sucks that it works this way, but if Michigan lost to OS it they would not even be in the conversation to get in with two losses.

I am excited for the new playoff in 2024 with 12 teams. Late December will be a cool time for football. The run to the playoffs in the NFL and the college playoffs.

I think that’s happened before.

Idunno. I was talking about a true ranking, not setting up a ranking to optimize the outcome you want. I don’t want UM to play OSU again. They already beat them. I’d rather play TCU first to remove any doubt. But I honestly believe UM is better than OSU and I think OSU is better than TCU. And GA is better than all of them.
