    glad you came back so I could ask you what you thought about Iowa and Michigan fighting for the Big 10 championship.........meanwhile I hear OS has been invited by Wales to compete in the first annual sheepdippers bowl......they would play Swansea City if thy can learn the rules of football by then......

    No kidding.

    A couple of thoughts:

    'Bama has Georgia's number. I thought this would be the game that GA broke through but clearly not

    I wonder how much incentive played a role here? Georgia knew it was in the playoff regardless and 'Bama was fighting for their playoff life

    GA plays game manager QB's. Who was the last game manager QB to win a title? At least more recently all title winners have had 1st Rd QB's. This GA dude ain't one.

    The Alabama O-line was amazingly different from last week, and our defense was up to the task.

    Helluva Game BAMA!!!!!!

    Indeed it is. Can’t really blame him though. After Strouds performance this year he would be ridding the pine for at least two more years. The Buckeyes are currently a very young team with lots of upside so though it’s never acceptable to lose to that team up north. Disappointment here isn’t to great as they more or less met expectations this year given their youth. Dey will definitely need to improve their defense. It was the teams weak point and did not live up to the Silver Bullets reputation.

    But to be honest it’s going to be another 357 days before the sun rises again in Columbus.

    Ok my CFP projections. If the CFP used objective criteria it would be;

    #1. Cincinnati (best record)
    #2. Alabama #2. (Via tie breaker with UM)
    #3. UM as Conf Champ
    #4. UGA as a non conference champ.

    We all know that’s not going to happen.

    What I and everyone outside of Georgia and Alabama would like to see;

    #1. Alabama
    #2. Cincinnati
    #3. UM
    #4. UGA

    The vast majority of the Nation does not want to see a Bama vs UGA finals. Not even ESPN as it would result in a finals with the lowest TV rating in CFP history. The vast majority of the nation would prefer to see Bama and UGA in a semifinals game.

    Having said that and knowing the selection committee could care less about a true national championship game my projection is;

    #1. Alabama
    #2. UGA
    #3. UM
    #4. Cincinnati.

    In my opinion trying to set up a Bama vs UGA finals by ranking them #1&2 would be a very bad idea as no one outside of Bama and UGA wants to see an SEC finals. I would rather see them ranked as 1&4 or 2&3 to eliminate that possibility.

    coming from Iowa and living in Michigan caused stress in the household........my wife hates me for rooting for Michigan even though I patiently explained to her that if Iowa won Michigan would not go on to the national championship and certainly Iowa wouldn't whether they won or lost........oh well, she will forgive by the end of March Madness......

    Stroud can leave after next year. I believe there's also another five star (QB) on the roster. I know no one wants to sit but if you aren't willing to face, and beat, the competition...?? But if he goes to Texas or A&M (where it has been rumored) he would likely start right away.

    I got to watch the game with my old man which is always special and yeah, HATE losing to them!!

    There was no way they were going to set up a repeat of 'Bama and Georgia. None. Come on UC, shock the world!!

    The latest CFP rankings are out.

    #1 - Alabama
    #2 - Michigan
    #3 - Georgia
    #4 - Cincinnati

    Seems reasonable to me. Especially with Notre Dame on the outside looking in.
