Wow youre really impressed. Michigan absolutely shite that game away.

They also just lost to K State who just got curb stomped by the second best team in the west.

All those “ranked” teams they beat turned out to be terrible in the Big12.

There’s a reason the line is -13.5.

I was really impressed with TCU yesterday. The way they hit Michigan in the mouth on both sides of the LOS was impressive. The completely took Michigan out of how they like to play. I think it was more TCU than Michigan “shitting” the game away. TCU was the more physical team from the get go.

That was TCU’s 11th consecutive game. That performance is excusable IMO. TCU’s bye week was week 2 I believe. Which makes going 10-1 over that stretch pretty damn impressive.

I wouldn’t say terrible. Many of those teams, like Arkansas had to deal with the injury bug as the season went on.

First series goal line stand, the fumble, 2 pick 6s and they still let z Michigan back in the game.

McCarthy isn’t good. Those recruits aren’t winning against UGAs 5 straight years of top classes. Michigan is a slow, unathletic big 10 team that beat a soft OSU and had more talent than the rest of the crappy big 10.

Their only decent win besides OSU was against Penn state who we smoked last year.

It’s novel and I’d love to see it but UGA will win by 10+. UGA ain’t coming out the way they didn’t against OSU 2 games in a row.

it's not homerism if it's true; the SEC is the best conference; history tells us that

It will be like the Cincinnati/ Bama game last year. OSU matched Georgia because the talent discrepancy is very narrow. TCU needs to play an absolute great game to have a chance.

The SEC won what 13 of 19 national titles?

On UGA…they looked somewhat soft and out of shape up front and looked like Arkansas on the back end. OSU had wide open WRs all game long. #5 seems to be their weak link.

I think it will be a good, high scoring game with the winner winning by 3-5 points.

We shall see.

OSU also has 3-4 first round WRs.

I was and not impressed with Michigan. For years they had lesser talent than OSU. For a decade Michigan lost to them until they finally pulled out a victory this year. Best team in America and the best conference, superior to the SEC they said.

Oof they lost to KSU that got stomped by Alabama who didn't win the West.

TCU is going to have problems with Georgia and I see them winning by 17-21 points.

The talent difference between OSU and TCU is big. A David and Goliath type game.

I think the game has changed so much recently that recruiting rankings don't matter as much. They do still matter, but you no longer need a top-15 class.

Absolutely not. Dykes tore it up in the portal, as evidenced by the season they’re having.

What?

Every single card possible fell in TCUs favor. Played in a terrible Big12 that they didn’t even win and lucked into playing an overrated Michigan team that would have lost to UGA, UT, LSU and Bama.

I’ll gladly eat crow if it happens but this reeks of a blowout.

OSU was the only team that had the talent to give UGA a game besides maybe Bama.

TCU had played 11 consecutive weeks. That single game doesn’t define who TCU is.

You just saw who TCU is. A month off to rest and heal. They absolutely took it to a Michigan team that held Ohio State to 23 points at home.

Agree. UGA will crush TCU. OSU was then best matchup to give Georgia a game (and they almost won). But nobody else in CFP this year is close.

They won by 6 with Michigan gifting them 2-3 scores and handing them the game at the end.

I don’t know - I definitely could be wrong but I’m with Hawgeye on this one. I think TCU will absolutely give Georgia a game, if not win outright.

Michigan also had a TD overturned then fumbled the next play on the one yard line They had two pick sixes. Then they fumbled the ball again on 4th down. Michigan played a poor game.

The portal changes everything. But TCU needed some breaks to win the game.
