CFP Championship Game Predictions

Ref assumed a hold because the defender was off balance.

Surprised it wasn't called flagrant

Why doesn’t Michigan pass off play action? Huskies are loading up against the run.

…because they figured out the way to win is not have McCarthy throw pick sixes.

I’m not really surprised by the outcome. Michigan was really primed for this game. Washington seemed like TCU last year (minus the blowout score), but it feels like they spent all focus and energy just to get past the horns. Michigan was focused and wanted this game.

Will this win have an asterisk next to it from the cheating scandal??

 

[LisaLT]

McCarthy is quite punchable.

 

[Limey Frog]

I got Michigan's score correct.

 

[LisaLT]

Tainted is an understatement.

Does Conner Stallions get a ring?

Well when you only throw 18 passes that also helps limit INTs.

Penix was on the take for this game. No other way to explain this terrible, emotionless performance from him. He was the sole reason they lost.

I have been watching him since his Indiana days and I’ve never seen him like this. He, um, threw the game. No way he just choked

Low blow… a real kick to the Penix.

McCarthy is quite punchable.

Just think he and Hunter Dickinson were on the same campus last season.

Just some quick observations. Washington appears to be flat

This theory has become rampant. It is, in fact, not flat. Science has proven this.

 

[tcudoc]

Penix a little off.

I wouldn't go that far. Michigan's pass rush had more than a little to do with it. Texas ran a lot of delayed blitzes and rarely got home, whereas Michigan seemed to regularly collapse the pocket and affect him quite a bit. Not having any rushing threat (Washington ran 20 times for 40 yards) and his WRs dropping multiple passes didn't help, either. That very marginal holding call (many much more blatant ones were let go) when he finally connected with Odunze, when it was still a one-score game, was massive too.

Texas had a weak secondary (every passing game with a pulse put up numbers on them this year) and Penix took advantage. Meatchicken, which rebuilt itself defensively to compete with tOSU and its stable of NFL QBs and WRs, was always going to be a much tougher matchup.
