Oh, it’s over.  You guys won a while ago.

Its penn state they can lose any time especially this year

Michigan has a real chance to keep Ohio State out of the Big Ten championship game this year.  They just need an outbreak of COVID to cancel the game.

Whewwww.  My Irish stumbled their way past UNC on Saturday to remain among the undefeated.  But UNC is a top 20 team and playing well, so I suppose it wasn't too bad a showing on the road.

Loved seeing the Oregon State Beavers win over the Ducks... sorry O fans but I'm a state college fan (in most cases).

Big win for Michigan State over Northwestern... never underestimate Sparty.

You forgot the unbeaten PSU showing Michigan who’s boss.

Hope your team can handle Clemson again on the last game.  I am tired of seeing the same dang teams every year.  Give me Cincy vs Texas A&M or something.  
 

Michigan is about 40 years away from making the playoffs.  Maybe 400.

The odds of beating beating Clemson twice in the same season are not great but, in light of the thrashing they gave us last year in the playoffs, Irish fans definitely want another bite at that apple...err Tiger. 

I think Michigan will be back sooner than later.  Jimbo has to go though to make the sooner part happen. Start a rumor that Chris Petersen is coming out of retirement and being courted by Big Blue.  That's the kind of coach Michigan needs to resume the glory days.

I’ve noticed something over the past few years. There is no team spirit.  They go out there and go 3 and out then go sit on the bench.  No standing up encouraging their defense, same goes when the defense is off the field.. which this year isn’t much.

Watching some other games this year, QB’s where up standing next to the HC... fist pumping when the defense got a stop.  This culture used to be at Michigan during the Lloyd Carr days... it hasn’t been back since.

Exactly.  Start the rumor...

Urban Meyer to Texas rumors are swirling... Of course Meyer to X University will surface every year. Of course, Texas thinks they can pull any coach they want... And yet they still have clown Herman.

Congratulations to the Chanticleer fans (aka The Roosters?).  A program milestone and this seasons longshot Cinderella story.  The Sunbelt Conference continues to have a Goliath slayer or two most years. Other than a couple of upsets in the PAC12 and TCU's strong showing against the Cowboy's, everyone held serve. 

[Shankster]

My college, Liberty University had a stellar year.  Hope to get there next season for a game.

I saw Harbaugh wants to jump back to the NFL before he gets fired. That would save Michigan plenty of $$$.

And when I try to type Harbaugh, my Google swipe keyboard autocorrected it to garbage. Fitting.

Ugly game from the Tigers this week. Hopefully Clemson can use this bye week to get the defense healthy. There were a lot of key guys down/went down yesterday. We need Skalski back to get past ND and win the chip. 

Loved the tease in the broadcast that if Justyn Ross has a positive result from his doctors appointment this week he could be cleared to suit up against ND...college football wants no part of him back and healthy. Kids an absolute beast. I just hope he can come back because he’s so talented and it’d be criminal if he was never allowed to play football again.

I am ready for some BIG10 ball.  Even if it requires the annual humiliation during “The Game”... 

Well... you won't have to endure another loss in "The Game" this year. I know Harbaugh is in hot water, and it is very unlikely that Michigan would win, but the game should be played. I'm not buying the CV-19 excuse for cancelling "The Game".

Me neither.  Your guys would have hung 130 on us.  I’m over all the lack of transparency at the place.  I am boycotting them until they figure something out, it is an absolute mess.

There are no excuses for how poorly coached they are.  Everyone else, besides PSU, looks to be playing about how they normally do, all around the country.  Jim doesn’t get a pass for calling up a Wildcat on the 3 then a time out then a wildcat again... like we don’t know what is coming....
 

Nothing against your team, but I think the Indy vs NW BIG10 would be a nice change of pace.  Your team is far and above better, but it is 2020... so why not.

This season has been proof the playoff should be expanded. It’s criminal that Cincy/Coastal Carolina can’t get in. It’s  going to likely be Bama and Clemson in the final, which if you don’t want them in beat them. But other teams have earned the right to try. 

I am quite excited about Clemson though ! We’ll try to spank OSU for you.

I didn’t see the point of them playing again, they had already lost... but congratulations to Clemson, a well coached and talented team that I admire...  

the playoff does need to be changed though.

Actually this is one of the few times a rematch made sense. Clemson was missing their best players on both sides of the ball, and barely lost on the road. Noter Dame got pants tonight with Clemson with everyone. ND should be the odd man out!

ND was missing some peeps too the first time.  Dwayne Haskins won a NC as a third string... I get your point, but I don’t buy it.

That was Cardale Jones,  and ND was not missing their best players on bosides of the ball.

Haha.  Whoops.  Ok, you got me.  
 

I don’t have a horse in this race. So I’ll just shut up now.  
 

Have a great one.

What? Not a PAC12 team? .   Ok, each has held home court, now on to the tiebreaker... presuming we don't shat the bed the rest of the way, don't get hosed by the CFB, and can beat Bama.

My fiancé’s family are hardcore UCLA fans. I went to Clemson though! I’m down for the tie breaker, but I think the committees SEC bias will benefit TAMU at your expense. 

[Shankster]

Did you guys see how jacked Dabo was in his interview?  The more I read about him the more I like him.

[silver & black]

I'm not sure anyone can beat Bama.

OSU did not impress me against NW. A win is a win, but they need to play much better if they have any hope of winning the Championship.
