Who had the closest Guess-The-Score prediction for Michigan's National Championship? Anybody with a perfect 34-13 bullseye?
Have been wondering and digging through to see if anyone nailed the 34-13 final score.
I was a little off (41 - 17, Michigan)- receipts for my guess here and also here.
- I expected 5 TDs and 2 FGs from Michigan
- I expected 2 TDs and 1 FG from Washington
Let's see all those predictions!

If I find anyone w/ 34-13, or whoever got the closest, I'll edit it into this comment below.
EDIT:
Current leader is GoBlueSimon w/ guess of 34-14:

I overestimated how many points Washington would score - my deepest and humblest apologies to Michigan's defense.
My buddy who was at the game on corporate tix asked me for my prediction, and I told him:
M 34-24
Hail to the Victors!

I had 30-20 and in the 4th Qtr I told the wife Michigan was going to kick a field goal and give up a TD... in which case I would have nailed the final score.
But.... Mikey took his pick down to the 5 and Blake put the cherry on top!
I'm very happy that i was wrong.

I guessed 34-13 but didn’t tell anyone so I win
January 9th, 2024 at 5:10 PM ^
I meant to bet $1000 for 34-13 exact score on FanDuel but forgot. I’ve let them know where to mail my $750,000 and am just waiting now

I missed the actual score but I hit the point differential on the head. My guess was 45-24.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:08 PM ^
I got the 34 right. I had 34-27.

Washington's Heisman-caliber QB, offensive mastermind coach, and NFL receivers put up the same amount of points on us that Purdue did. As we all expected.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:15 PM ^
dunno if they'll see this, but GoBlueSimon guessed 34-14, which was the same score UW ran up on us when they dropkicked us in the '92 Rose Bowl

I’m more than happy to take credit for possibly the worst prediction, other than the few who picked Udub to win.
42-34.
I picked such a high output for UM because I really thought they could mount a relentless series of TD drives against that middling defense.
I picked a higher output for Udub because I felt like they were on a stratum well above OSU and Bama.

Honestly it was well within reason. Second and third quarters were brutal, particularly 2nd. Felt like we should have scored 4-5 touchdowns by halftime.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:20 PM ^
i had 34 right IN THE RELEVANT THREAD... i had Washington with 24. We won and it did not matter to me as much as all three phases playing great football. Let's do it again SOOOOON.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:20 PM ^
I had 34-20. Was thinking I might nail it if Washington scored late but really didn’t want them too. Too nervous of onside kicks and comebacks.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:21 PM ^
OldSchoolWolverine guessed 33-15 and I didn't think the 15 was likely.
I was wrong.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:22 PM ^
From browsing this thread, it seems like everyone underestimated the extent to which our defense would throw Penix off his game.
My 35-28 prediction almost nailed the offensive side, but I also didn't give the defense nearly enough credit.
Last night was the type of performance by our defense that the more you think about it, the more you realize how impressive it truly was. That defense made one of the nation's top quarterbacks seem downright mediocre.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:24 PM ^
I had a 22 point win
”
Michigan gonna roll boys
um 45
wash 23”

I didn't post a score on here. I thought it would be like Georgia over TCU last year, and felt smart after the second Edwards TD, but it was more like Georgia over Michigan in 2021.
January 9th, 2024 at 5:50 PM ^
27-24
January 9th, 2024 at 6:39 PM ^
I just want to point out I could go into an old comment somewhere and edit it with the correct predicted score.
January 9th, 2024 at 6:58 PM ^
I said if the combine total score was under 50 Michigan would have a good chance of winning. It was 47!
January 9th, 2024 at 7:21 PM ^
I correctly picked Michigan’s score of 34.
However, I was just slightly off on Washington’s score—I predicted 36.
January 9th, 2024 at 8:19 PM ^
Why dont I believe my own damn analysis <15 pts was staring me dead in the face but I couldnt believe it because "ThEy tHroW a PrEtty fOrwarD paSs".
"We have been every teams least or second least points scored on their schedule. If we broke the mold and were Washington 4th least points that is 27.
3rd - 24 pts
2nd - 22 pts <----- Michigan's usual territory
1st - 15 pts <----- Michigan's usual territory
I wont guess the score because the world will work to prove me wrong."
January 9th, 2024 at 8:44 PM ^
Nope, I had 38-31, Michigan
FWIW, I had 28-27, Michigan (vs. Bama) and 30-27, Michigan vs. OSU.
January 10th, 2024 at 7:00 AM ^
I had 34-16 (on Twitter). Thought they’d drive into the redzone a handful of times and get field goals, get lucky and convert 1 into a TD.
January 10th, 2024 at 8:20 AM ^
My prediction is nowhere online to verify but I though Michigan would have to score at least 35-40 points as I was certain W would put 30 something up.
So 35-30 would have been my thought. FWIW. Not much, I know.
