I think it’s more unifying and says a lot about big ten coaches getting behind hating UM. Even at OSU height this level of unity wasn’t seen in the conference such that people would gladly watch UM fail then support a conference fellow.

Bama by 50!!!!

Watching the selection show, the reaction from the Michigan players tells me they also believe they will lose to Alabama


Lol. It really was hilarious. A combination of shock (how did they manage to back door into this despite losing their biggest game) to Oh shite

Alabama had 114 yards on 41 carries, 30 of which coming on a Milroe option. Milroe threw for 190 yards. Alabama did not "push around Georgia" on the offensive side of the ball at all.


Shhhh. Don’t you know this is one of the best Bama teams ever that destroyed one of UGAs best teams ever?

Being critical of how dominant the is Bama team is somehow makes you a biased LSU hater.

This is a good not great Bama team. They very wel may win this game but acting like they are some dominant team because they beat the weakest UGA team in the last 3-4 years doesn’t mea what it used to.

Michigan playing vs Iowa and keeping it vanilla shows how bad their offense is while Bama struggling with Auburn is a match up issue.

Both teams are good and Michigan Ol is significantly better than UGAs even with the injuries.

Again, Bama somehow dominated UGA with their massive offensive games according to others.

If BAMA had the offensive stats the last 4 games that the Wolverines put up folks would be calling for a Michigan blowout. But somehow that doesn't seem to matter with the national media and Joe Klatt. It will Jan. 1.

Michigan would have never gotten out of the West with that offense, much less beat Georgia.

Corndogs love to ignore Bama beating Georgia the very next week


They also love to ignore that this same Auburn team that almost beat Alabama gave Georgia similar problems in Jordan-Hare the month before. In each game Auburn rushed for 200+ yards and had the lead late.

I wasn't impressed at all with Michigan against Iowa. They only had 210 yards of total offense and the score looked much worse than the actual game. Flip two plays and Iowa probably wins that game. I know that is a big if and Michigan is obviously better than Iowa, but again I came away thinking Michigan is going to get killed in the playoffs.



What a terrible take.

UM ground Iowa into dust at their own game. There was no need to throw it around and score fifty because there was zero chance of Iowa scoring even double digits. Iowa's only chance at all was to get a couple picks sixes and UM never gave them an opportunity.

It was about like Bama vs Cincinnati a few years ago. Saban methodically won the game while taking no chances.

Easy to do when Iowa's offense ranks 130 out of 133 teams in the FBS. Many people thought that Michigan would win if they scored a field goal.

Michigan didn't ground Iowa into the dust. They ran the ball 66 yards on 34 carries. They were also still throwing the ball well into the fourth quarter. UM couldn't do crap against Iowa's defense.

UM will face a similar defense in Alabama and a much better offense. Alabama 27 - UM 13.

Michigan is and was better, but that score is misleading AF.

Michigan's longest drive of the game was 52 yards and it took them 13 plays and a fourth down conversion.

Their longest play of the game was 17 yards.

Their two TD drives started at Iowa's 5 and 6 yard lines, of which the second one probably shouldn't have happened because of the weird continuous play that resulted in Michigan getting the fumble.

Alabama is going to rip Michigan apart.


Cool. Which plays would have resulted in Iowa scoring any point in order to win the game as you suggested?

So nobody watched the Iron Bowl? Just sucked Georgia's knob with the worst schedule in the nation...SEC East was like MAC level this year.

So they beat Georgia and ESPN forced them through despite looking mediocre the entire season.

This is what's wrong now with CFB...

You get a month now...to "get good" for the real season in January.

Were there any other games in this season? Or just 2?

Bama just seems to have the intangibles to win the NC.

Everyone saying they “don’t belong” due to the FSU snub is right in Nick’s wheelhouse as a motivator. And then he can use “revenge” if they play UT after that.

I truly believe this is a horrible matchup for bama and Michigan is about to exercise some demons on them. I may be wrong and I’ll eat crow if I am but just a feeling.
