I may be a little biased due to my Bama hatred but MI is a good team.

After watching this game, I think Bama skull17s Michigan.

Maybe. Mizzou avg'd 35.9 a game in sec games this year. Ohio st basically shut their offense down until they gave out bc of no help at all from the offense. If Ohio st's qb played, I think they win by 2 tds

Yeah. I didn?t feel confident about Bama beating Michigan. Now I do. Not sure why, but for some reason I do now. No real reason even though I referenced that abhorrent game tonight. They play very well as underdogs. Big time chip on shoulder program.

Would make for a better experience for the fans who spend a lot of money to go support their team, only to see a shell of it come bowl time and get beat.

Me either. They should at minimum pro-rate NIL on games played. Ridiculous. So I may not show up to work next week for no reason and I expect to get paid? We are one screwed up society/culture and growing more every day.

The last time he had a bama team at this level in the playoffs was 2014, and a big 10 team beat them. I sorta expect Bama to win, but I really hope I'm wrong

As I posted, college football needs to compress the 12-game schedule by removing the bye week to help out matters. This gets more post season games before the transfer portal opens. I personally relish the regular season as more important than the post season and removal of bye weeks is perfectly ok because the regular season will not be affected by the portal transfers. And again, compression will limit the portal window exposure for some of the post season.

When fellow elitedoggers say THEY do the elitedoggers even understand who THEY are. Are THEY a collective or independent businesses outside the scope of in-house college managements? How can any governance even get into prorating NIL disbursements when NIL has so much potential for diversity of business models? Also, THEY whoever THEY are could be seen unclean once their actions are litigated with the SCOUS past rulings.

You say we are one screwed up society with players getting considerations denied in the past. Maybe if others that benefitted from the plantation labor gave up a pittance of monetary considerations, this evolution would not have evolved?

It's going to be annoying watching conference championship games next season when it should be the first round of a 16 team playoff.
