The last time they won it all, 1938.  Last year they went 5-7, this year they play for the Big One.

Last time A&M won it all, 1939.  This year's record?  5-7.  Hey, one can only hope ! 
I love how college football fans come up with things like this!

I will not be able to watch as I am a cord cutter and this game doesn't interest me enough to go somewhere to watch it.

I'm with @Gigem , @Mdot21 ,etc al. I don't think this will be in doubt much beyond halftime. 

I could be wrong of course but as soon as TCU's upset of Michigan went final I felt exactly like I did in 2014 when Ohio State played Bama in a semi-final. That is, I felt that the semi-final was for the NC with the actual Championship game reduced to a mere formality.

fantastic ain't it. sports fandom in general. as a spurs supporter (tottenham hotspur- soccer, not basketball spurs), i see these type "last time x happened, we won the title" all the time. the hope that kills? nah, it's he hope that brings life to the sport(s).

I mean if you really look at that game, Michigan's offense- which isn't exactly known for being high powered- left LOT of points on the board there. Michigan legitimately could've had 60 points in that game if they didn't continually trip over themselves. TCU's defense is BAD bad imo.

Not to mention, JJ HANDED TCU 14 points with two really awful pick 6 throws. Late, behind, inaccurate, forcing into double coverage. Just really bad throws- don't know what he was looking at on either one. TCU's actual offense scored 37- it's actual offense didn't drop 50 on Michigan's defense. Don't think Stet is gonna make those mistakes. Georgia could limit TCU in the mid 30s pretty easily imo meanwhile TCU is not stopping Georgia from scoring 50+ if Stet doesn't turn it over more than once.

I wasn't aware anyone made them outside of Minneapolis.  Though I suppose a cheese-stuffed meat patty could be thought up and implemented in multiple locations.

Very much looking forward to the game tonight. After all like most of you I absolutely love college football and this is the pinnacle.

I have no idea who’s going to win. Likely Georgia but you never know. I think TCU is a great story!

I’m not saying this was inevitable….but is anyone surprised?

I don't know whether I'm more surprised that TCU beat Michigan, or that OSU probably should have beaten Georgia

What I’m kind of taking from this is that like last year, Michigan isn’t Georgia.

I'm surprised that I'm probably still going to watch after halftime.
