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.
They took their lumps, in a completely different playoff format, when Tressel, not Meyer, was the coach, and their '14 MNC-winning roster was mostly in middle school?!?! And this helped them nearly a decade later? :smiley_confused1:

didn't even realize this til now, but Michigan is playing in a stadium that is owned by their largest booster- Stephen Ross- billionaire real estate developer who owns the Miami Dolphins and the stadium and land around the stadium, is the majority owner of The Related Companies and a minority owner of The Related Group. Ross has given the University of Michigan around $500 million total for athletics & academics programs & buildings.

Hopefully he's paid off the refs to call bunch of fouls on Georgia. I kid. I kid. Or not.

Despite the plentiful amounts of crown royal, I can see that there are more Michigan fans here than Georgia fans. Looks like 60/40.   




The Georgia fans are extremely cool though they like to party and are very friendly

I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure Michigan is about to win their first consensus NC since Harry Truman was in the White House. 

The SEC looks like hot garbage.

Can we all agree we're glad that we don't have to watch Ohio St, Oklahoma, or Clemson today??  This variety (Bama notwithstanding) is really nice.

Had OSU gotten Marcus Freeman a year ago, they would have had a real shot this year. Alas...
