Georgia beat Michigan last year pretty easily in the Final 4 but I would love to see that rematch. Michigan seems like they are on a mission now. What is funny is out of the 4 teams, TCU IMO has the best QB in Max but they aren't better than Georgia, Michigan, or USC team wise.

 

USC reminds me of OK teams. Good passing O, but can't go far outside the conference. 

IMO, OSU is better than USC. Heck, Bama is better too. 

 

On TCU.. Watched several games. They've played nobody outside of the B12. And have several close wins. Wouldn't be shocked if they lost to KSU on a neutral field. If they make the CFP, they'd get easily beaten by UGA or Michigan... Or OSU or Bama...

K.State will be a very tough test for TCU. I can see that being very close, K.State is good. I think TCU will pull it out though. Max Duggan seems to find a way.

KSU is good, and normally solid.. And they always have an upset or two each year. But I just think the B12 is weak this year.

They'd (B12) be better if they let TX and OK move to the SEC now and start building the "new B12" now. Outside of the SEC and B10, the other 3 P5s are pretty weak this year.

@2006Coltsbestever I did not realize that former Colts LB Trev Alberts was the athletic director there. I have not followed college football closely. Anyway, I know that is your favorite college football team. Alberts Rhule's team :thmup:

Yeah everyone around here has always loved Notre Dame. I chose Nebraska in the early 80's. Just loved their style and wanted to be different. They are also mid-west. We dominated the 90's, the 1995 Cornhuskers is hands down the greatest team ever. People like to say athlete's are better now days and the passing game has improved. Florida had one of the best passing games ever under Spurrier and we destroyed them 62-24. The 1995 Nebraska O.Line on average was over 300 pound and our RB's were powerful and lightning. We would have beat Florida without Phillips because we had 2 other RB's that were just as good + we had Tommie who could throw an accurate ball 10 yards in.

I don't know if Nebraska will ever be back.   Only 1 winning season since 2014.

Yeah they have been bad recently. Michigan in today's game is playing the same style Nebraska did in the 90's, so right there proves you can just run the football, wear teams down with a dominant O.Line, and just have a QB that makes key plays. Back in the 90's, Nebraska killed Florida who had a high powered passing game in 1995. They also beat Miami in 1994 who was a high powered passing team. When Nebraska won it all in 1997 they made Peyton look average when they smoked Tennessee.

Michigan should be thrilled that TCU didn't drop to #4 after losing the Big 12 Championship game.

 

They wanted to have Michigan - Ohio State saved for the grand finale for ratings but Georgia will have something to say about it. Ohio State has the WRs to give Georgia trouble but it will be like Belichick jamming WRs physically, Kirby Smart's approach. Let us see if Marvin Harrison Jr. is up for it. :)

I just saw that offensive linemen can move up to 3 yards on a pass play in college versus just 1 yard on a pass play at the NFL. 

 

That also explains why it is harder to stay engaged at the NFL level leading to more tipped balls and also why play action is even more effective in college than the NFL thus leading to WRs running open more often.

Michigan got absolutely screwed by the REFS, all the analysts today said that was a TD by Michigan on the 50 yard pass which would have made it 14-10. He didn't have control of it until he was in the endzone. Next play - fumble! Huge swing. Then at the end of the game with still 25 seconds left, that was a clear personal foul/launching which would have gave Michigan 1st down at midfield with time for at least 3 plays, maybe 4 plays. I think it is cool TCU won but Michigan got the short end of the stick by the REFS on that one. To Harbaugh's credit, he didn't say anything about the REFS in his post game presser but you could tell he was fuming. I keep trying to tell people that Max Duggan is the real deal.

 

I am ok with Georgia winning, Ohio St just flat out choked and that FG kicker pulled a bigtime Vanderjagt lmao . That might be the worse kick I have ever seen for a game winner.

TCU took down Michigan. Max Duggan is the new Ryan Tannehill, can rush and run a very good RPO offense with his boot legs and legs. I’m leaning towards him being a Day 2 pick.

He is faster than Tannehill. He can a run a 4.48 40. Tannehill runs a 4.65 40.

The same for Ohio State.

It's TCU's title to lose, Georgia really struggled vs Ohio State whom Michigan handled easily. Georgia would not have beat Michigan yesterday.  No reason why this line should be 14 except Georgia's name vs TCU's.

Well, none of it works that way, but yep, TCU is capable.

Michigan had several clown mistakes, so wouldn't assume TCU is the favorite. 

 

I'm cheering for TCU big time, but I'd say UGA wins by 14-20.

I think Georgia is going to stomp TCU.   I'll be rooting for TCU of course, but Georgia has the better players.  

 

Michigan seemed like they were trying to lose.   The first drive, they go down to the 2 yard line and instead of kicking a FG, they go for it on 4th down.  They have one of the best offensive lines in college football but they do not try to run it up the gut.   Instead, they try some trickery that gets sniffed out and they lose yardage.

Many teams TCU has beaten have better players but arent getting the most out of the talent they have. Max has played great all year and this game will be his exclamation point on the season IMO. Quentin Johnston an elite WR with great size.

I'm excited for the title game tomorrow. TCU is a great story but I'm not sure they can beat UGA tomorrow. I'd love to see TCU knock them off though.

Same hear.  I supposed if Georgia stomps them, I won't have to stay up for the whole game.

Ohio State offense had the goods to keep up with Georgia. Georgia, like Alabama a few years ago, flat out wins in the trenches. Can’t stop their run or get past their OL to rush the passer or run against them, so only way is to have a very good passing attack. Duggan is a product of the spread offense TCU runs and is a better Sam Ehlinger, that’s all.

 

Georgia vs Buckeyes was the true finals and Michigan would have fought them well too if J J McCarthy didn’t crap the bed with 2 horrendous pick sixes plus a fumble coughed up at the goal line.

Georgia still doesn't make a pimple on the 1995 Cornhuskers team rear. My 1995 team would destroy any of these fools today.

 

1995 Cornhuskers

Average O.Line was 310 pounds

Fastest defense in the nation per Player college rank

Average game per win = 38 points

Greatest option team ever per college analysts

12-0 W/L record.

      Colts have 4th pick (Official Discussion Thread)

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      If he’s still in the team, there’s a reason.   Even if none of us knows what it is.   But I wouldn’t link Foles being on the team to the Colts NOT picking a QB in the draft.     Take a deep breath.   Have a little faith.  Get good sleep.   Better days ahead.

      Intentionally yes. But if you go with let's say Will Anderson if he is there and ride it out with the current Qb roster you may have a chance at getting to one next year.

      Colts have 4th pick (Official Discussion Thread)

      By TomDiggs · Posted

      So, I have been pretty open and transparent that for the Colts, what we will likely run, and how i think they will likely evaluate these guys, I would rank the big 4 (in terms of fit and what i would want to see): Stroud, Richardson, Levis, Young.   All that being said, the total angst for Levis is insane. I have come around to sell myself on him simply because I believe Stroud will be gone and if it comes down to Richardson and Levis I have a much easier time believing the Colts would draft Levis over Richardson.   I know that many, many analysts and fans and twitter warriors love the athleticism and the upside of Richardson. And I totally get it. But here is the thing: As much as Richardson's tools, upside and testing numbers are what is elevating him, people say what truly holds him back is the lack of experience, completion percentage/inaccuracy, etc. Here is something nobody really says:   What if the "only 13 games" thing on Richardson is actually helping him instead of hurting him?   If Richardson went back to school next year and had a terrible year (think what some people say of Levis' 2022 vs his 2021), Richardson would likely fall completely out of any first round consideration and any franchise QB talk. I would argue the fact that he doesn't have experience yet is helping his stock. People can still talk about "what he could be" since he hasn't fallen on his face yet.    This is the exact reason why I am actually OK with Levis.    Things could not have gone much worse for him last season and yet he is still absolutely considered a 1st round QB and in many circles still a top-10 pick.   I wonder where he would rank amongst prospects if he had that 2021 season this past year. If we were evaluating his 2021 and his upside shown in 2021 compared to the other 3 then i think he is seen in a much different light.    Also, Richardson may have some baseline of a floor w his rushing that is decent like the clip that @Restinpeacesweetchloe posted from Mina Kimes and RGIII backing Richardson. But here is the thing. Look at all of the criticism that was heaped on Lamar Jackson and Justin Fields and guys like them that people claimed were "RBs playing QB." And both of them were much more established throwing the ball coming out compared to Richardson.    Every year it is said to "ignore what you hear during draft season" because so much misinformation and shiftiness happens as agendas are pushed and as teams jockey to elevate guys they dont want and depress guys that they do want.    To me it is telling that Richardson's stock has catapulted sky high during the draft season when basically everyone knew he was going to test as an all-time elite combine specimen. Yet when the college season ended he was seen as a pick maybe in the teens or early 20s based on possible upside. Now everywhere has him top-5.    Levis was seen in that top-5 to top-10 range to start and is now falling.    Nothing has changed w their tape. Nothing has changed with injuries. These guys are the same guys they were months ago and yet the narrative is so different now. Just doesn't sit right with me.    It is the reason why i think we hear whispers that "teams and evaluators probably have Levis a lot higher than draft analysts, media and fans do".    At the end of the day, I am in agreement with a bunch of the fans in our forum that think "give me the guy with the greatest upside and the highest high and let's hope we help him reach that consistently". That is why most folks want Richardson (myself included). But I would be remiss to not say that Levis' considerable upside is just a tick below Richardson in my eyes.    If we end up drafting either Richardson or Levis I think both of them could have top-10 NFL QB upside if they can realize their potential. But for both of them that will be a big IF.

      Me too. I dont see how it's a loser mentality when it sets you up to win for the next decade possibly. The loser mentality is drafting player out of desperation that can ultimately set the team back.
