At least Ohio State lost…

And didn’t embarrass themselves in the process making our win against the Bucks stand-up as good.

Can you imagine that kick if we had won earlier?

I don't know what I'd be pulling for. Kick goes in an we play a team we know with 100% certainty that we can beat. But it would be arguably the biggest game in the history of college football -- the #1 rivalry, in a Championship Game. On the other hand, there's Georgia. Who knows how we size up against them, but it didn't look great last year. Even with all the guys they lost, they look like quite the machine still.

Alabama and Clemson weren’t in the playoffs, there was no 2019 LSU team that came out of nowhere to light everything on fire, and Georgia looks so fucking beatable. Michigan will probably never have a better opportunity to win the national title than this year and they fucking blew it. All they had to do was beat a team that doesn’t even fucking belong and they collapsed instead. It’s going to be harder when the playoffs expand and teams like Alabama don’t get eliminated by 2 flukey losses.

They lost to a team that lost 45-20 to Alabama. They needed miraculous comebacks to beat straight-up bad teams on multiple occasions. They only won today because Michigan decided to repeatedly do stupid shit inside the 5 yard line and Minter kept calling blitzes that resulted in huge plays for TCU.

There’s no way you can claim TCU was one of the best 4 teams in the country. Michigan lucked out that they kept lucking out on wins so that the committee had to rank them above better teams. Alabama would have killed TCU like they killed Kansas State. The football gods put the natty on a silver platter and Harbaugh decided to have a freshman tight end play quarterback and a linebacker play fullback.

Yeah, this is some truly pathetic posting by Ham. Everything is based on hypotheticals... Alabama would have done this... we would have won it all... There never was a credible argument for putting Alabama in the playoffs, their best regular season win was against an average Texas team that finished 8-5. And they lost 2 games. On the other hand, if you go 12-0 in a major conference, you're very likely one of the best 4 teams and you certainly belong in the playoff.

Doesn't make our loss any better, but makes me feel better that Ohio State doesn't get a pass to another national championship.

Time to raise this program's goals and stop shitting their pants in bowl games/playoff games

Nightmare scenario avoided. Would've had to have given up being a sports fan, if OSU had won a National Championship... thanks to Michigan's ineptitude.
