Afternoon Championship Games Open Thread

Alabama is going to beat Georgia. Georgia hasn't played a team with a pulse yet this year.

I hope Cincinnati beats Houston but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cougars pull it out.

The fighting Hokes are also playing Utah State on Fox

Hoping they do the reasonable thing and put Cinci at three and us at two, because that's a better matchup, but I could see them wanting to have us play Georgia to avoid the semi rematch.

Assuming Michigan wins, it’s:

1) Bama

2) Georgia 

3) Michigan-unless we obliterate Iowa 

4) Cinci

if we lose, Cinci goes to 3 and ND gets 4. I hate playing the last damn game of the night!

Looks like we will play Georgia. They won't make Alabama and Georgia play back to back games. So when we win the National Championship it will go down as the greatest in Big 10 History when we take down the SEC in back to back weeks. 

Go Blue!!!!

So I know it sucks that Georgia gets to lay an egg but still get in but I am just curious for the people saying they shouldn't be in who would you even put instead? A team with a weaker resume than Georgia sitting watching teams play today or a two loss team? Nah.

Why does Danielson think OSU would get in over us if we lose? I think it's irrelevant because it would be ND or Baylor but still ridiculous

You could make a really good argument that UM should be in regardless of what happens tonight but unfortunately you know they would get screwed over. So just win.

"who doesn't want to see a rematch between two great ESS EE SEE teams"

Literally everyone outside the south?

Seriously, put the onus on conference to crown *one* champion & playoff participant. 

"You get ONE, at most.  Figure it out"
