Vegas/Betting sites already releasing lines for playoff games. 

FanDuel have: 

UGA vs Ohio State and the line is -6.5 UGA with O/U at 57.5 pts. 

Michigan vs TCU and the line is -9.5 Michigan with O/U at 58.5 pts.

That's fair,  he can say what he needs to say, but at the same time other folks can fairly and openly criticize him for it.

To mimic your argument, what is anyone else supposed to say?  "Oh yeah King Saban you're totally right.  That school with fewer losses and the better SOS doesn't belong ahead of you."

It's the same as the old 1st amendment discussion.  You have freedom of speech, but nobody ever guaranteed you freedom from consequences.
just want to know why they let him have his little crying to please let him in and they didn't let Tennessee's coach or TCU's coach plead their cases too....

What's the line for LSU vs Purdue? :57:

It's pretty easy.
Who was around in Harbaugh's first 5 years that isn't around now?
.
Hint:  he's on TV
If you are talking about Urban Meyer,  I don't believe it is that simple.  Until 2 years ago OSU was in a tier of its own in the Big Ten and nobody else was close.  Michigan was in a second tier with PSU, MSU, and Wisc where it was not really obvious who was the best team in that tier from year to year  Probably Wisconsin more often than anybody.

BUT the last 2 years, not only has Michigan elevated itself into the first tier with OSU but passed OSU.  At the same time OSU is still clearly in a higher tier than the rest of the Big Ten, and is still ranked #5 in the country.  So it's hard to argue that OSU has dropped off much.  Michigan and Harbaugh has simply elevated itself to a new higher level.

I will say this.  Michigan this year seems to be one of the strongest 2nd half teams I have seen.  They simply take over in the 2nd half of games.  I don't what they are doing to wear down the other team, but it is obvious they are.  Could be just a talent gap that eventually kicks in.  Or maybe it's a strength and conditioning thing.  Michigan used to have a rep for looking like national champions after game 6 and then fizzling out late in the season.  Which again suggests something has improved with strength and conditioning.

How often does Michigan substitute on defense?  Some "good" opponents can stay with them with their ones but simply tire out and wear down because their twos really can't sub in.

I would feel more confident facing TCU than OSU but that may be helmet speaking.

Wisconsin being down actually helps Michigan.

I think when teams are both that level of talent, it can simply be tough to beat the same team twice in one season.

Completely agree. Littlepig’s post is great too. Wisconsin’s team was a great team to watch for a very good stretch. I preferred their style of play and coaching over Michigans for quite a while.
