Iowa's defense hadn't given up 40 points on defense in 73 games. Michigan just dropped 42 on them tonight.
Somewhere out there McTwerps is having a field day with this one.

59-0
We can't discuss West wins in the CCG.  Just their degrees of losses.  Please end the divisions

Nah, gotta be like Costanza and do the opposite. 

Add Notre Dame to the East, and Kansas to the West.

Well, that was disappointing.  Bama fixed their OL issues big time.  If they play like that, maybe Michigan has a chance, I'm not sure they do.

Michigan is another team that can look strong one week and so so the next.

Season of dreams. Hope they have 2 wins left in them. I think what’s made this so special is how unexpected it has been. What a ride.
Glad your enjoying it SM!  They are on an amazing journey.

They aren’t flukeing their way, they have an identity and are imposing it over 60 minutes, in all 3 phases.

There isn’t a team left they aren’t capable of beating. In fact- I will say right now I think they spank Georgia if that’s who they get.

if/ when they face Bama- they are capable of doing exactly what they did to OSU. It would be tougher because Bama has a bit more mobility at QB, and they won’t have the cold weather and hostile home crowd. But it is doable.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

It goes to show how syllogism doesn't work in CFB very well at all, something we all knew.  Bama struggled with Arkansas at home and UGA beat them 37-0.  UGA looked a lot better against every common opponent.  But UGA lacks that elite Heisman level QB which has been a common theme with elite teams of late.

I'm guessing they slot UGA at 3 to play UM, I don't think they have played since 1965.  Bama will get Cincy.

I'm sure Kansas is a good school with fine folks and all but FFS we already have Rutgers/Maryland and The 'Skers haven't rebounded either.Even if ND bit,how many points would the committee give us for basically inviting a bad DivII  Football program into the mix.At least have the nads to up your game and demand KSU

Yup,not much different with the Buckeyes.They throttled MSU/Rutgers as M lost to one and beat the other by one score.It' definitely match ups and the energy and intensity of the day.tOSU had zero,zilch,nada and appeared to be running thru waist high water.Michigan looked like JUSTIFY in the 2018 Triple Crown
