there is no way that's him haha, tho some michigan bloggers are pretty convinced it is

the Gene Parmesan of college football

why's he wearing sunglasses at night

lol why am I spending so much time digging into this ridiculousness tonight...

This dude has hair.

Connor Stallions is bald.

Would be hilarious if it was him, but it’s not. pic.twitter.com/sROpHN3YRN

followed by people saying "WIG' or "he shaved his head the next day!"

i love this whole thing

I need this to be true

god’s favorite team, the michigan wolverines, have done it again

“i wanna know where mookieproof is right now!”

I hope Brian Ferentz plays complementary football so well that they win the Big10 ship.

hail to the victors valiant

that certainly was an iron bowl that happened

bobby petrino . . . welcome home

cc: pplains

Here's to that guy becoming the John Frusciante of Arkansas football, where the band doesn't suck as much when he's around.

hired for cause

i mean i support players' freedom to lead their own lives/get paid for doing so

but i'm not sold on having guys play for four different schools into their late 20s

possibly the ncaa needs exactly that sort of accelerationism tho

omg please please shut the SEC out of the CFP

otoh *someone* needs to beat michigan

it's a conundrum of hatred

wrong, imo

no one needs to beat michigan, that would be unfair and sad

shouldn’t be a hard decision for committee: three undefeated teams plus the team that beat the sec champ

*someone* needs to beat michigan

i'm sorry but this is the most immediate priority

i could maybe, against all my upbringing and culture, root for michigan in some very specific situations? but not with harbaugh. that guy is an utter prick, even apart from the whole 'laying flowers on bo schembechler's grave' stuff

i'm not even sure i could root for him over dabo! which is, honestly, damn

xp so you are requesting alabama in the semifinal?

penalizing FSU for having a injured starter/backup like some sportswriters have suggested seems dumb, like the body of work should matter

xcept the criteria to select teams into the playoff specifically sez injuries matter iirc

I sooooooooo hope somehow the SEC gets let out of this thing just for the LOLs.

I can't see the TV people letting that happen, but lord it would be hilarious.

Being an IU almnus, I was always more of a Michigan guy as I HATE Ohio State fans from how they used to act when those drunken bozos would come into Bloomington when I was in college working in bar/restaurants. I get not liking Harbaugh but good lord would it blow the f'ning minds of all those southern redneck college football fans if they won it all and somehow their beloved Tide was not even allowed to play.

I'd be cool with Washington winning it all, as that first Oregon/Washington game was probably the most entertaining game I saw in football all year and it sounds like the rematch was a classic too.

Michigan is loaded though and I would really like to see what they can do against Alabama or Georgia as I kinda think they might actually truly could be better than them this particular season.

Listening to Feinbaum's radio show has given me total animus to despise the southern college foootball culture even more than I kinda did before. Football is a horrible terrible thing but even in that those people suck (except maybe some of the Atlanta Georgia people as I liked that town quite a bit when I was there for a couple weeks for work and watched a Dawgs game in a laundromat off Peachtree a few years back).

I got nothing against Austin, but man I don't want any of those redneck Texas fans to enjoy anything while their government is being a$$holes of the nation.

the team that beat the 2023 sec champ (bama) which is texas

sorry bama, you shouldn’t have lost to texas. that game doesn’t mean any less just because it happened in september

who remembers the legendarily fluky iron bowl? no one? it was literally last week

And who did Auburn lost to the week before the Iron Bowl...yes that's right New Mexico State.

Florida State also beat LSU by 3 TDs, so they got a bit of bonifides.

FSU should be in over Texas

Texas win over Alabama was too early in the season.

Texas also had least impressive conference championship opponent

that lost by 42 to UCF a few weeks earlier

why does early in the season matter? bama should’ve beaten texas if they wanted to make the playoffs

the noles got hosed

the committee might’ve just nuked the acc

Early in the season has always mattered for losses because teams get better. That should cut both ways, though.

Problem with college football is there's too much of a human factor in who gets crowned.

March Madness works out perfectly because it's such a big, long tournament and the best don't usually get left out of it.

NCAA Football routinely leaves out the best and we just accept it because meh

It's great for starting arguments tho

even #1 Michigan is questionable. Not clear they are any better than last year. The schedule was weak until they played OSU at home. Not much difference with FSU outside of QB injury.

IMHO, Michigan fans are as insufferable as THE Ohio State fans.

their OC cried the most on television? Maybe that's the difference?

and tbc, I cry all of the time. But for Jim Harbaugh?

michigan is the only team in the tourney with wins over two teams currently in the top 10 *shrug*

also #1 in all the fancy stats

Washington beat Oregon twice. I think Oregon definitely beats Penn State.

With Michigan a clear No. 1 in SP+ and facing a playoff with the No. 6, 7 and 11 teams, here are your national title odds per SP+.

Michigan 49%
Texas 25%
Alabama 17%
Washington 10%

Michigan's gonna need to underachieve (again) for this to be a particularly interesting CFP.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol they "underachieved" when TCU beat them. They have a better shot this year because of the teams in it with them.
