Penix is probably the most fun for me to watch, so while I don't have a dawg in the fight, I'll probably find myself rooting for Washington.

But I think Michigan wins. 

If UW pulls it out then I'll go 0-fer in my playoff picks.

@utee94 & @longhorn320 ........

Do Ya'll recall multiple or egregious pass interference or holding or illegal contact penalties that helped the Huskies?

obviously, 10 penalties, but only 66 yards vs the Horns - gotta by mostly 5 yarders

Horns were called twice for holding, on back-to-back plays no less, pushing them back 25 yards and killing a drive.

Huskies, the second-most penalized team in all of FBS college football, were called for zero holding penalties, despite facing the two best and nastiest interior defensive linemen, in all of college football.  129 outta 130, no lie. But I'm sure they just played the cleanest game of their lives.

Late DPI called on Texas extended the Huskies drive and effectively ensured Texas wouldn't have enough time to complete a comeback, while zero DPI called against the Huskes-- again, the second-most penalized team in all of D1-A college football.  But I'm sure they just played the cleanest game of their lives.

Texas was called for 6 penalties before the first call went against Washington.  But I'm sure they just played the cleanest game of their lives, despite being the second-most penalized team in all of D1-A college football.

Anyway, like lh320 said, the game's over.  But it sure would have been interesting to watch a game that was fairly called.  Horns mighta actually won a game like that.  We'll never know.

thanks for the feedback/input

Just mysterious as to why the helmet team of the two would draw the ire of the refs

most of us here would agree that a Texas/Michigan final would create better TV ratings

Refs were B1G.  Washington is now a B1G team, and those refs had the chance to ensure a B1G vs. B1G CFP final.  Not really too hard to fill in the blanks on that one.

Refs make mistakes obviously.  Whether they with intent bias a game for one side is rather more dubious in my view.

I'm sure it has happened.

That seems like a reach.

Penix is awesome to watch- he spins that ball like no one else in CFB right now. Their WR's are excellent as well. Should be an awesome game. 

I just think like you that Michigan should be able to control the lines of scrimmage on both sides- play some keep away and take the ball out of Penix's hands, shorten the game, and limit Washington's offensive opportunities. Which will put even more pressure on Penix, that OL, and those WR's to be nearly perfect.

Michigan can't have any more special teams disasters like they did vs Bama in round 1, and the JJ that crapped his pants and threw pick 6's and fumbled on 1st and goal in round 1 last year vs TCU can't show up either. IF they play a clean game on special teams and JJ doesn't turn it over and they just RUN THE DAMN BALL- they *should* win imo.

But that's why they play the damn games- 'cause weird sh*t happens out on that field....and anything can happen.

A part of me wants to get into this, as the above examples were not "egregious pass interference or holding or illegal contact penalties that helped the Huskies." But I tend to not get when someone is being tongue in cheek, and this seems like a bit, and thus not serious.

This is a bit, right? Or there's some mention of the uncalled penalties Washington committed coming? Surely the intentional PI and holds that cost 13 yards after Texas missed on third and 14 are not the strongest indicator of unfairness?

yup, I was asking specifically about penalties on the Horn's secondary against Huskie pass receivers. 

This was Minter's assumption

but, I'm all for allowing any Horn fan to vent about any and all penalties that seemed unjust or unfair and tilting the outcome
