2021 College Football Thread Part Two The Road to the Playoffs

[Hillsdale87]

NIL is going to be a factor. He left Texas so he could cash in and he isn’t going to do that riding the pine behind Stroud this year and next.

I’m going with Georgia and Texas because they have been floated as leaders in his recruitment but the Manning’s have played everything so tight lipped it’s hard to get a true read.

Sarkisian has developed Mac Jones, Jake Locker, Matt Leinster, Carson Palmer, and Tua so it’s not like he’s in the same sentence as Kirby Smart.

NIL can be a factor, but what he makes from NIL will be small compared to what he will make in the NFL. He's already making good money with NIL now. Making a decision based on that would be very short sighted.

And agreed about Sark as a QB coach. But he hasn't shown himself to be a successful HC yet. Maybe he turns things around next year, but Texas is a mess right now. I don't know why he'd go there when he could go to an equally good QB coach in a much better situation at Ole Miss

Snow in Ann Arbor is pretty cool.

The spread keeps falling. Down to 6 5. Interesting.

It started at 6.5. Yeah, UM gonna win this. The second I saw the original spread I had a feeling UM was going to win today.

They already played Georgia this year and lost on a 50+ yard FG. Rosters are very similar.

I'm talking about UC. What school are you talking about?

I'm not saying ND is Georgia, but they're very much an upper tier program in cfb and Cincinnati went into their house and dominated them physically. Other than buying the perception that Cincy must be slow, weak, and soft because they're not an SEC or Big 10 team, I don't understand why anyone believes they'd be physically dominated by anyone. I think it's the other teams that will be surprised by Cincy's physicality, not the other way around.

Their defense in particular was physically dominated by Tulsa. If Tulsa can blow 'em off the line, what do you think Ga, OSU or Alabama would do?

If Ohio State can't rally, that definitely opens things up, because Wisconsin is definitely capable of beating Michigan to eliminate the Big Ten. No way they could beat Ohio State.

Will Buckeye fans be able to handle Michigan and Cincinnati in the playoffs if they are left out?

I assume they'd handle it very well by becoming huge UC fans if the two squared off.

Good for Harbaugh finally beating Ohio State. I'm happy for him

I genuinely agree.

I am an OSU fan, but Harbaugh outcoached Day today. His team absolutely outplayed OSU today. In all phases of the game. I am happy for Wolverine fans. It has not been a rivalry for awhile now, and it absolutely is again now. They said only 2 OSU players have played in the game before today. They got a big taste today. Hopefully they learned a lot for next year.

Lol why wouldn’t OSU fans be rooting for UC?

I disagree, I think Wisconsin could have absolutely beaten OSU this year. OSU has an awful DL and rush defense. Wisconsin would have ran all over them.

The thing that bugs me is that we still match up really well with Georgia and are still probably the best shot to be beat them.....even after what I saw today.

Bama not so much....Brian Robinson would run for 400 yards against this pathetic run D. And I want to watch Jameson torch our DB's as well. I think I would commit Hari Kari if I had to watch that. UC very well might beat us too.

[DocRed]

What if UC loses to Houston? What is Ok State and Okie split the next 2 games? 2 SEC and 2 BTN teams in the CFP? Might need Oregon and ND to lose again...

[RedTeamGo!]

I think Wisconsin is going to beat UM.

[RedTeamGo!]

OK what happens if Georgia stomps Bama and SCuM loses in the BTN Championship game? What is UC loses to Houston?

I think if all that happens:

Winner of Bedlam (if they win b12 ship)
Georgia
ND
Bama
