Chance of Winning the NC in 2021
« on: June 21, 2021, 06:24:22 PM »
Aside from the regulars, which outside do you think has a half way decent chance to win the NC?

Wisconsin USC  Texas  Florida ND  Eastern Michigan  Ole Miss  LSU  UM  PSU  ....

My list of regulars includes Bama OSU UGA OU A&M  I might be forgetting someone.

Almost everyone has won a title more recently, since the Aggies' last (and only) title was in 1939.

They way this list is laid out threw me.

Michigan is actually “Eastern Michigan” (No...)

And by UM you mean “The U” or presumably Michigan?

I have more faith in Miami. Not so much to win Nat’l title but to make a playoff push. The Canes have the balance of schedule and a potentially top 3 NFL Draft prospect at QB (D‘Eric King) to boot. I just don’t trust their coaching staff.

Michigan, on the other hand, won’t do better than their Revenge Tour of 2018, as much fun as that was in a B-Fest sort of way.

The Revenge Tour was the best.  It was like a Vans Warped Tour, just headlined by the easiest people to hate

Miami is a decent guess

Yeah, but the fact that Georgia Tech won one is so hilarious to me.  That was the first year I followed college football, and I didn't appreciate how dumb it was at the time.

They beat a mediocre Nebraska team in the Citrus Bowl IIRC.  That was the best

Scott Sisson kick to beat then #1 Virginia didn't do it for you?   That game overlapped Nebraska's 4th quarter implosion vs Colorado.  12-0 lead vanished in the rain slicked turf of Memorial Stadium as Colorado scored 4tds.   Probably the only season I felt an Osborne team look like a quitting bunch.   The effort at OU was just sorry and of course wore their all whites in that listless performance vs GT.

That GT-Virginia game, is the first non Michigan game I recall watching

They need to come to a big bowl and not get blown out, like every one they've played in since 1990.

If Oregon can figure out their quarterback situation, they are my pick

On that note there's no reason why it can't be A&M other than the fact that we really haven't been in that territory before, but then there's Clemson, LSU, and Florida who all have a similar history to A&M in regards to ancient history success in CFB.  

The real problem with A&M this year is that we will be breaking in a new QB and I just don't see the rest of the team being able to carry this particular weakness to the CFP.  

The right coach has done wonders for our program.

aTm is a decent pick for a non-regular to win it this year. the issue is, for come inexplicable reason, cincy decided to include aTm in the regulars despite the fact they haven't been in the cfp yet. nor were they in a bcs title games prior to that. they haven't even been to the seccg yet, though that's not necessarily a deal breaker for the cfp. aTm has been far from a regular title contender for quite some time. no knock intended, just truth.

not sure why uga is included in the regulars either tbh, but at least they've won seccg and made a cfp recently.

my regulars, and most people's i'd think, are bama, osu, and clemson. maybe ou.

but both aTm and uga are near the top of the challengers to those 'regulars' this season. imo at least.
