It's hard to believe that Michigan may actually win this game even though their offense has been really bad.

I guess it's good if ScUM beats Bama 'cause B1G vs SEC, but I'm really hoping for this result.
If Michigan holds on, it will be the next best thing to a meteor strike. They beat Alabama…and look pitiful in doing it!

Because every SEC-loving person just had to make rash statements after watching teams play one game, I gotta say Bama looks like one that shouldn't even have been in the convo for the playoffs judging by this performance.
Uh oh! Now I fear the stage is set for what ESPN will call “a comeback for the ages” by “a team everyone (here at ESPN) knows should be in the playoffs!”
Imagine thinking this team was more deserving than Indiana
if Michigan pulls this off it’s proof that they have some dudes and depth. Might not be big names or flashy, but turned into a solid football team. They’re really the total opposite of Colorado.
Turns out harbaugh did leave them with something pretty good, albeit minus a QB.
And as annoying as Michigan fans are, I gotta pull for the big 10 here.

Totally (semi) unrelated… buh-bye Bama…

Too funny. Lost to an unranked 7-5 Michigan team.

And because the college football discourse is mostly idiotic in 2024: We beat Michigan. Michigan beat Bama. So we beat Bama. Can't change my mind. This incredibly dumb thought is already a fundamental truth.

If I'm an NFL GM in the market for a QB this winter, I'm not feeling excited about drafting Jalen Milroe in the top 10 after watching that performance. Most of the time his decision making was suspect at best. Other times he looked completely psyched out, afraid to throw to wide open receivers.

Love how Alabama's ruse to play a supposedly bad Michigan team to make themselves look good in the "SEC got screwed" narrative backfired so badly in the name of saying "we're too good to play a team like Illinois" in a bowl game. LOLOLOLOL!!

The ESPN guys get defensive when they get called out for what every rational fan can see regarding their glazing of the SEC and ACC.
Boise getting dog-walked right now...

The better PSU plays the more validation it gives our season that we played them tough at their house (not that we need much more after today's win)
Same goes for Michigan... and us dominating them

But I would LOVE to see Ped State get upset in this game . . .
Or even better, boatraced.
Truthfully, I'm hoping an Oregon vs. Penn St. Championship. I don't think I need to explain the rationale.But I would LOVE to see Ped State get upset in this game . . .
Or even better, boatraced.
Boise State with a pulse.
