We’re gonna have a Texas - Bama final for maximum story lines and Nick & Co. “to leave no questions” after that loss in Tuscaloosa.

The football gods will not be denied.

Bama is not this explosive team. Very vanilla. Reminds me of Saban’s early teams.

So is Michigan but with less overall talent

I think WA will put up a fight, but I do agree this will end up being the title game

Watch this line, you will probably see 75% of the public bet coming in on Alabama and that line won't change much
.

That $ will still stay on Michigan

Yeah, but we have seen that movie before many times.

Don't judge Saban and Bama by how they look in the Iron Bowl because a different monster always comes out of that cave.

Meanwhile Harbaugh and Michigan lay an egg every year and they haven't done that yet.

And finally, the SEC has done really, really well in these first round playoff games. In 9 years the SEC has a 10-1 record and the average score is something like 42-17. That's an insane record against top 4 teams. You give the coaching staff of the best SEC team a month to prepare with everything on the line and watch out.

I’d argue win or lose on both sides that the game is basically irrelevant from a measuring stick standpoint when played at JH.

Individual matchups don’t matter, record doesn’t matter and ridiculous plays often determine who wins.

It’s just it’s own thing that happens every other year and everyone moves on confused about what happened and how.

Watch Michigan’s reaction after finding out they have to play Alabama! Sounds like they wish it was FSU.

UM reaction finding out they play Bama!

I absolutely hate playing at JHS, the point differential being at +3 should let everyone know that the games are always close.

I hope they put up 70 through 3 quarters, then leave their starters in 4th quarter and hit triple digits.

Screw Bama and the CFP.

Give Saban a month to prepare and their defense time to get healthy, and I don’t think Michigan can move the ball on them. Might be hard for Bama to move the ball too, but I think Milroe’s legs will be the difference. Bama by 10+.
