Does the CFP Committee Have The Balls To Do The Right Thing?
Michigan is the clear #1 seed in mind. We deserve to play the fourth best team in the CFP; that is Cincinnati. Fuck the SEC and not wanting a rematch on NYE. Do the right thing and seed us #1 against the fourth best team, Cincinnati. Let those SEC fuckers play each other in a boring semi final that nobody will care about.
Do the right thing!!

No chance
December 4th, 2021 at 11:55 PM ^
Charles with the call!!!
December 4th, 2021 at 11:55 PM ^
It doesn't matter. They don't have the balls to set up a rematch with the SEC teams so if the put M #1, they slide UGa to 4. If Bama is 1, they slide the dawgs to 3.
December 4th, 2021 at 11:55 PM ^
Like the announcer said it would be biased to if they avoided a Bama vs Georgia game because they just played. The CFP should want Michigan in the finals. The TV ratings would be HUGE.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:03 AM ^
We’re on a island my friend, it’s just us. Nobody else wants to see Michigan have nice things. Fuck them all…here we come!!

I hate Notre Dame, but Georgia looked like ass against an overrated Alabama. I’d let ND in the playoff. Why should Georgia be automatically in? The SEC East was so weak this year.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:13 AM ^
Notre Dame played one game against against a CFP top 25’opponent, and they lost that game at home. SEC East may be overrated, but they’re still better than Notre Dame’s mediocre schedule.
December 5th, 2021 at 7:55 AM ^
And Georgia? Best win is what, A bad Clemson team?
December 5th, 2021 at 1:26 AM ^
Exactly. It’s shocking that every talking head/shill speaks as if GA deserves a spot in the CFP. They got hammered. Since when should a team that just got hammered get into the playoffs? It’s not as if they beat many good teams. That’s total BS. Hate to say ND is more deserving.
December 5th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
Georgia still has a far better resume than ND and should be in over them. Had OkSt won I'd argue they'd have been more deserving than Georgia.
But Notre Dame isn't. They don't deserve a birth into shit with their bs cherry picked schedule. No conference no playoff gtfo ND.
December 5th, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Exactly correct. The SEC brainwashing continues.
December 4th, 2021 at 11:59 PM ^
They will not do the right thing. Guaranteed
December 5th, 2021 at 12:00 AM ^
Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I think it's probably similar to March Madness, where they don't want early round rematches from the same conference, especially repeats of the last game.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:02 AM ^
That way also guarantees no all-SEC title game. You are absolutely right. It’s how it should be. But won’t. The other way to do it would be Bama-UM-Cincy-UGa, but they won’t do that either
December 5th, 2021 at 12:04 AM ^
My money is no. Chicken shit money-grubbers.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:04 AM ^
There’s a difference between what should happen and what will happen. The CFP is NOT going to want a semi-final rematch.
Bama will be #1 tomorrow because it’s Bama. They will get the benefit of the doubt because of their name and their track record under Saban. It’s not right and you should judge their body of work from this year as opposed to just saying “we’ll it’s Bama and they won a bunch of titles before this year with guys who are no longer even enrolled there, so just put them at #1,” but it is what it is.
Michigan will likely have to go through two SEC teams if they want to win it all.
December 5th, 2021 at 4:59 AM ^
I'm agreeing with this take. They don't want a GA/AL semi-final rematch. And they like the idea of Michigan having to go through 2 SEC teams to get to the prize. And by pairing Bama with Cincy, that pretty much assures 1 SEC will make it to the final.
Look for Bama, M, GA, Cincy in that order when the pairing come out. Prepare to be disappointed.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:06 AM ^
Fuck the whole....
December 5th, 2021 at 12:06 AM ^
I guess we'll find out, but I doubt it.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:07 AM ^
This is the #1 team in America
December 5th, 2021 at 12:08 AM ^
I'd rather not be #1. Chip on the shoulder going in helps.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:18 AM ^
This isn't fcuking East Lansing.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
Should be Michigan --Bama --Georgia -Cincy in that order
Leave georgia out ,if the committe doest want a rematch

I suspect that Michigan beating Iowa so clearly will just be interpreted as Iowa being merely a mildly above average team..which to be entirely fair has been this board's position for much of the season as well.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:31 AM ^
They were always overranked, but they were extremely difficult to blow out. Ferentz hasn't lost a game this badly since his first season at Iowa ('99)
December 5th, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
I don't give a shit where we're ranked. We can beat Alabama or Georgia. Bring it on
December 5th, 2021 at 12:50 AM ^
This is the correct answer. I don't think this team is afraid of anyone.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:15 AM ^
Michigan
Bama
Cincy
Baylor
Second place teams in their conference shouldn't be in the playoffs unless the playoff is expanded.

December 5th, 2021 at 12:17 AM ^
If Michigan is not 1 the whole thing is rigged.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:18 AM ^
Quick answer? No. SEC will always get the special treatment. But right now? Just enjoying the win.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:18 AM ^
Look, it'll never happen but can anyone tell me exactly what UGA's marquee win is? Arkansas? Tennessee? And then they got nuked by one of the weaker Bama teams. Leave em out
Michigan
Cinci
Bama
Baylor/ND
December 5th, 2021 at 12:23 AM ^
I hate the argument about no rematch. They jobbed us in 2006 because they didn't want rematch. Those assholes better out Michigan #1 and Cincinnati #4. Having said that both Georgia and Bama looked B12 teams today on offense. Deep ball after deep ball. Georgia is the #1 defense? Please. Bama needed 4 OT to beat a shitty team just last week. Come on.
They don't know what they are up against when Michigan comes with their D.
Go Blue!
December 5th, 2021 at 1:20 AM ^
The BCS and the media made themselves look stupid when all the rules (and bitching) that applied to Michigan in 2006 did NOT apply to Alabama to 2011.
And now with the four team playoff? It's still skewed to the SEC even when the conference struggles. In 2017, the SEC was probably the worst it's been in my lifetime yet the national title game was between Alabama and Georgia. Not all that different from this year, actually (LSU down, Auburn down, Florida way down, etc). Don't think for a minute the media wouldn't love to see that again.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:33 AM ^
I'd blame Okie state from F'ing everything up - get that GD TD in 4 tries you idiots. They win and there is a good chance Georgia is out.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:36 AM ^
I WANT THAT #1 SEED! MICHIGAN DESERVES THE #1 SEED! Best all-around team in college football. #
What we need to figure out is, does the CFP want to avoid the Georgia/Bama re-match in the semis, or avoid it in the finals?
If the CFP wants to avoid Georgia/Bama in the finals, then UM will get the #1 seed.
If UM faced Bama in the finals, that would generate the greatest TV ratings out of any of the four teams playing for the NC. Perhaps the committee will take that route in regards to the ratings.
It's damn shame the CFP is so influenced by ratings and $$$, but we live in the real-world, and the CFP wants the NCAA to make as much $$$ as possible. That will always be priority #1 for the CFP.
#GoBlue
December 5th, 2021 at 12:39 AM ^
Win the Game!
〽️Go Blue〽️
December 5th, 2021 at 12:40 AM ^
They won’t do it because they don’t have the balls to.
let’s not mention that we’d be 13-0 had that hutch TD not been reversed.
Georgia hasn’t bested ANYBODY with a pulse. Michigan played the hardest schedule of any team and CRUSHED it.
Also, put us wherever you want. I ain’t scared.
GO BLUE!!!!!!!!
December 5th, 2021 at 12:41 AM ^
Time to be SEC killers like Michigan teams of yore
December 5th, 2021 at 12:43 AM ^
Unfortunately the committee will give the edge to Bama because they thought UGA D was unstoppable.
I don’t care who Uof〽️ plays, Uof〽️ Wins the National Championship.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:46 AM ^
So if January 1st is on a Saturday, why are tgey putting the semifinal on a Friday?
December 5th, 2021 at 12:47 AM ^
There is no way in heaven or hell that the committee will put M against Cinci in round 1, and force a rematch for Georgia and Alabama.
M vs. Georgia, hopefully in Dallas
Alabama vs. Cincinnati
December 5th, 2021 at 12:53 AM ^
Whether we're #1 or #2 we're playing Georgia. They wont put a rematch the week after.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:53 AM ^
The national championship game is the money maker, I’d think everyone would want a GA vs AL rematch in the semi’s rather than the NC game. I wouldn’t watch that shit if it happened again more than likely, it’s not like it was a close game.
Id probably reward Baylor or ND and drop our GA to avoid a rematch.
December 5th, 2021 at 12:59 AM ^
In a rational world the three conference champs would retain their respective positions but move up a spot with UGA claiming the fourth spot. Thus:
- Michigan
- Alabama
- Cincinnati
- Georgia
December 5th, 2021 at 12:59 AM ^
Bring it the fuck on. Put Michigan number 2 against Georgia and then when Michigan shreds the hell out of them, they'll move the the championship to pound Bama too in an epic rated showdown making them 2-0 against the SEC! Bring it the fuck on!
December 5th, 2021 at 1:03 AM ^
Maybe. They haven’t disliked UM. And the conviction to put them above MSU a week after the loss while keeping ND behind Cincy.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:07 AM ^
I have to believe that SEC bias is going to screw us on this, but damn it I want to be wrong. If we end up #1, it might actually restore my faith in humanity.
December 5th, 2021 at 1:08 AM ^
I seriously think they fixed the Alabama and Georgia game so that 2 SEC teams will be in the playoff. They didn’t want Notre Dame to get in with their HC leaving. I say they should rematch and have Michigan play Cincinnati.
