TCU still? Okay, I can dig that. Michigan vs. Ohio State for the national championship would be incredible. The ultimate chapter in their legendary rivalry. ---

Danny Sheridan, oddsmaker, says UGA, Mich, tOSU, and Bama would all be double digit favorites over TCU. ---

Washington was projected to face Penn State in the Rose Bowl, that spot now goes to Utah. USC is still good enough to get one of the other New Years Six games. This is going to bump the top 10 ranked Huskies to a 2nd tier game in either San Diego or San Antonio. The only Big Six bowl game USC can get into now is the Cotton, against Tulane. I’m pretty sure the only way it doesn’t is if Alabama and Ohio State get into the playoff over TCU, which would bump TCU to the Cotton. ---

Hot take from the guy who championed letting college athletes make money six years ago: The four playoff participants should be decided by single transferable voting among the 131 D1 programs. ---

Michigan alumni and fan here. Yeah, so I’d rather not play Ohio State until next year, to be honest. If we win again, it’d be amazing. I guess. The win was so thrilling last week, I kind of like it the way it is(until next year). However, if we lose, it would at least somewhat lessen the impact of the big win in Columbus last week. I can see how OSU would like another chance, though. I think Michigan has even more players out now and I really don’t see their chance of winning the national championship all that high. I would like to see Michigan have a chance to take on Georgia. If we can even get past the semifinal. ---

Personally, l’d like to see TCU shock the world twice and win it all. Or have Michigan defeat Georgia in the final. Or have Michigan defeat Ohio State for the greatest stakes in their rivalry’s history. Just please God, not Georgia or Ohio State again. ---

A Michigan championship in such a scenario would have thousands of Buckeye fans dropping dead of mortification. The committee should have thought ahead to prevent even a slim chance of such a calamity. 😬 ---

Bullshit. I want to see Ohio State fans humiliated. I had a friend and coworker who was the most _obnoxious_ of obnoxious Ohio State fans. He always insisted on calling it THE Ohio State, for one thing.
