Brian Ferentz sucks

Iowa and Biberty were anything but 50-50.

I thought the Iowa D would show up. Oops.

Biberty is yet another example of a G5 team not belonging in these games. Yeah, it was cute when Boise and Utah showed up and won. The gap has widened greatly since then.

Enough already.

I had mentally picked Bama-Texas, so there is that.

I didn't watch either game.  The real champ played earlier. 

LSU?

As things stand now, TWO G5 teams will make the 12 team playoff.

"They" of course feel like they have to include at least one.  

I would've picked Tenn over Iowa something more like 24-10 or so.

Gotta say re: Iowa/Tenn.

That freshman 5* QB is better than Joe Milton. 

I'm glad the QB from Wisconsin transferred to Iowa. Just brutal yesterday.

Early thoughts on Mich/U-dubb NC:

The Huskies continue to be more physical than my brain wants to give them credit for.  My inclination is to say Michigan is going to bully them on the lines, but I've thought that before and Washington keeps proving me wrong. 

Still don't think they're going to be able to run for much against Michigan.  Especially after their RB got injured...that didn't look good. 

Penix and the Husky WRs played out of their minds last night.  Can they do it again against a saltier Wolverine secondary?

Does Washington have an answer for Corum not to bleed them to death with a thousand paper cuts? 

Going into yesterday I thought Washington was the least likely to win the NC.  Now I'm not so sure.  I think Michigan has better linemen, which counts for a lot with me, but Washington has so many ways to move the ball, they might be able to force Michigan into the kind of game they don't want to be in.  They are a far more capable offense than Alabama.  Question is, can they really protect Penix against UM's pass rush?  If yes, it's game on.  If not, it will be an ugly Michigan win.

This is a great take. Penix seems to have a way to extend plays and when he does, he uses his incredible accuracy and hits his great receiving core. Can the Michigan D-line put enough pressure to slow that down?

I also think a huge part of the game will be Washington scoring early. It's what buried Michigan against TCU. They had to change their gameplan completely.  If the defense can keep it close early, the Michigan grinding offense should do their thing.  Michigan also needs to go figure out special teams because punting and punt returns were scary bad.
