so, Michigan is kickin themselves for losing to TCU

what about OSU, they should be kickin themselves for not holding on vs UGA and then having a cakewalk for the title

the BIG booted a couple nice opportunities
As an Ohio State fan the whole end of the season is VERY frustrating. When Michigan lost to TCU all I could think was "How did the Buckeyes lose to these clowns?".

As I stated upthread, as soon as the TCU upset of Michigan went final, I was 100% confident that the UGA/TCU game was for the Championship. So yes, the Marv Harrison injury and the missed FG loom large because my Buckeyes were ohsoclose.

Every team can and will have off days.  Maybe Ohio State had an off day against Michigan.

Maybe Michigan had an off day against TCU. 

I suspect last night's game was a combination of both TCU having a bad game and UGA making them have a bad game.  UGA looked responsible for a lot of it.  TCU looked responsible for their fair share as well. 

UGA had a couple bad games this year, just not in the playoffs.  You hope your team will get those out of the way before their playoff matches, but there are no guarantees. 

We had an off day against a bad A&M team and it cost us the Sugar Bowl.  Like UGA, A&M was responsible for some of our "offness."

Pretty obvious they went with H2H:
TCU>M>tOSU.

And the fact that TCU played an extra game.

Overall I don't think it matters much.  We don't really think about who was #2 in a given year.  We talk about who finished in the Top 25, then who finished in the top 10, then who won the championship.  Those are our traditional, annual benchmarks for "good, better, best" with respect to college football.

16 out of 63 voted for someone other than TCU at #2.  It's amusing and predictable that, of those 16 non-TCU votes, 4 of them went to... Alabama!

Maybe Michigan had an off day against TCU.
Michigan 100% had an off day and still scored 45 points and put up like 600 yards despite tripping all over their own d**cks and some awful coaching decisions/calls by 'Tism Jeem and getting boned out of a TD by the zebras. Michigan isn't exactly a high-powered high-flying offense. That should tell you TCU's defense pretty much sucks. Everyone should've seen this coming. I mean, I called it....told ya UGA would score 50 at least and get no resistance.

The herd mentality with them is gross.  They should be embarrassed.  
Plus there's evidence here of poll sharing - voters are using one guy's poll as a base and adjusting from there.  Why do I say this?  There's absolutely no way a team as high as 18th is ranked in that spot by so many voters.  That column of ND is revealing.

In the CFP, we saw what great talent with coaching that accentuates it looks like (UGA vs TCU).  We also saw what great talent with coaching that hinders it looks like (UM's offense early vs TCU, OSU in the final minute vs UGA). 
.
I mean honestly, UM gave up all the points, and my takeaway from the game was that their offensive play-calling is what lost them the game. 
And then Day, after saying he was going to be aggressive, being aggressive for 59 minutes, only to clam up and settle for a long FG.....what are you doing?!?

I think the polls in general are just dumb. Which is why I want to see the big boy conferences leave the NCAA start their own thing and go to a real playoff. We don't need 131 FBS teams. We can get by with 4 Super conferences with 16-20 teams and then do real playoffs with home field advantages and start the playoff a week after the CCG games, not a fkn MONTH. It's preposterous and ridiculous they have these kids take a month off to ramp it down and then oh hey guys- go ahead and start up and ramp it up again a month later!

I agree with this 1000%. Monken has been masterful in the big games as the OC. He also has a very veteran QB he can trust though. That does make a big difference. Stet is money vs kids 10 years younger than him. Stet is like fkn 30 been through a lot of spring practices and fall camps and started lot of games at JUCO/FBS level.

That's a little more fiery than my Junior High B Team coach was... but not by much, honestly...
