re: alabama fans seem to be claiming a moral victory

You are right. Michigan is first in the nation in sign stealing. It’s easy to win when you have a week or more to study your opponents signals.
Any title Michigan might win is illegitimate.
There is the matter of recruiting violations too. That investigation is apparently still going on. In 3 or 4 years the ever vigilant NCAA might complete it.
It’s a sad day when cheaters and their slime ball coach are allowed in any bowl - especially the playoffs. No wonder y’all started beating THE osu. Y’all CHEAT!
