Michigan "insider" Sam Webb saying that Dax Hill will play tomorrow. He's basically the mouth piece for that program- never says a word against them and parrots whatever they tell him- won't talk about injuries ever- at all- even if he knows what's going on- which is probably why he gets the kind of access and info he has.

I'd pick UGA to win.

People are forgetting the team UGA was for the first 12 games of the season.  And how Alabama did what it did, Michigan can't/won't recreate.  Different style.

that is fair. UGA was dominant for 12 games. Against what is looking like a suspect schedule now however. The SEC East just might be the worst division in the P5 outside of Georgia a'course. It's literally just Georgia and a bunch of midgets. Purdue is beating Tennessee short-handed right now with their two best players- George Karlaftis and David Bell sitting on the bench. Who is the best team in that division outside UGA? Kentucky? Eh. Have a feeling that Iowa will Iowa them to death and that game will look a lot like Iowa vs pretty much every team they played not named Michigan or Wisconsin. 

Clemson was...probably not such an impressive win after all considering how god awful that Clemson offense and QB are. Is holding that awful offense in game one when it was at it's most awfulnesses to only 3 really that great? Charleston Southern-FCS, UAB, and Georgia Tech pretty that's pretty....yuck.

Not saying Georgia isn't a great team. They clearly, obviously are. I just think their dominance may have largely been a function of...not really playing anybody. Beating up on mediocre and bad teams counts for something though. Lots of programs cannot even do that consistently- and to go 12-0 in the regular season is tough af no matter who you play. 

Just saying...I think Bama showed, and these bowl games that SEC is laying egg in showing- their schedule really wasn't the murderers row it was made out to be. Georgia's toughest games on the schedule were Kentucky and Arkansas. I mean....give me a break.

College GameDay has unveiled its guest picker ahead of the Orange Bowl on Friday between Michigan and Georgia.

WWE legend Bill Goldberg will have that honor as he’s been a lifelong Georgia fan and used to play for the program.

He posted a video on the College GameDay Twitter account and confirmed that this has been a lifelong dream for him.

Like OSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Washington, Michigan St, and other northern teams that have made the playoffs, Michigan is going to have to take their lumps and get pantsed by an SEC team a time or three in order to learn what it takes to get over that hump.  

Dawgs and Saban back to back? Woo wee! Tough sledding.

if I'm not mistaken, Ohio State won the whole damn playoff and slayed the SEC dragon the first time they ever played in the playoff. Maybe Michigan will repeat B1G history on it's first try. :)

Michigan very well could lose to Georgia- Georgia is an excellent team, but I don't think it'll be a pansting. My gut tells me this should be a pretty close game. But, don't get it freaking twisted- Georgia is not Alabama and Kirby Smart is not Nick Saban. Most of those teams you just mentioned got pantsed by Alabama- not the other SEC teams. Alabama is Alabama- and they are freaking way out ahead and in front of everyone. Georgia included- as Alabama has pantsed them repeatedly these last couple years and I believe Kirby is now 0-5 or 0-6 vs Saban.

That SEC! SEC! SEC! narrative is played out and just stupid. Alabama kicks the shit out of everyone- and the other SEC teams just ride Bama coattails.

OSU took their lumps in the BCS era in 06 and 07, they did slay the dragon but then took some more lumps from Clemson and Bama ever since. It's not the SEC! SEC! SEC! mantra, is just that playing for NCs can have a pretty steep learning curve. Major step up from Conference play.
