Beat Alabama 

Florida State got fucked. I mean, they are UNDEFEATED. What the hell more do you have to do to get in? And for TWO one-loss teams to get in over them? That's a big middle finger to them.

What a joke. The SEC ass suckage continues.

I love that Michigan is in it, but this is the worst postseason in all of sports. It's so idiotic it's 2023 and there isn't a real playoff when every other level of football has one.

Thankfully, it's FINALLY being fixed next year. 

#1 Meeechigan vs 'Bama. I like the matchup. Brian is correct about this is not a vintage 'Bama team. 

HELLO PASADENA! It's been a long time (Rock group Boston song- circa 1976).

Lots to discuss in the coming days and weeks about this game.

I like the 5PM kickoff. There is a large alumni fan base out there plus the thousands of us further east licking our chops to travel out there.

GO BLUE!

Beat Bama.

LET'S. GO. BLUE.

(FSU got screwed. Hate the esseeeseee)

If a good ol' boy who seriously goes by Dabo in real life can be Saban's match, Jimmy definitely can. 

BET

I’m so mad. Only in college football do you actually get penalized for being the #1 seed. I should start watching a real sport like figure skating.

Corrigan is at NC State who had the deciding vote to expand the ACC with Stanford and Cal against FSU while FSU wanted out of the ACC. That's a lot of bias. Diminish that brand to reduce their chances to leave..

Fuck them. Fuck Bama. Go Blue.

I'm not frightened by Alabama. Any matchup was going to be our toughest game of the year. Alabama is obviously talented but styles make fights. A month to get right, scheme it up, and go toe to toe. I do think it would be lovely for Michigan to win it all so I can abandon following this stupid sport though. The controversies and media influence is beyond insufferable at this point. FSU was hosed, Bama hasn't looked great, rankings don't mean anything until the entire dataset is completed. The notion of a committee doing this is just dumb, let the results speak for themselves that's what football is supposed to be about. 

LFG

Now, I want more than ever to win the playoff game to stick it to the committee for screwing an undefeated FSU team because of the SEC bias that infects that group.

The Rose Bowl … great setting … bring on Satan and his 5 stars … they will play a TEAM like no other they’ve faced … great matchup style wise for us … BET MEECHIGAN 

You’re going to have to play some good teams to win a national championship. Saban is good but his team can be undisciplined at times and doesn’t always do the little things. We’ll need to open things up. We can definitely make the final. Won’t be easy. But doable. Let’s do this.

If they are going for the “best teams” then how is FSU ranked 5th ? They aren’t better than GA or OSU and a couple other top 10 teams .. They should just admit they got swayed by the SEC bias 

The silver lining for me is that over confidence shouldn’t be a problem this year.

I just hate that it's a fucking running QB - he has huge runs in the big game (sans Georgia).

From McNabb forward its been a kryptonite. 

I suspected this is what they would do.  If I was an FSU fan I would be totally unhinged right now.  What a kowtow to the SEC.  

It's going to be a beautiful day in Pasadena. I've ALWAYS wanted to see Michigan in the Rose Bowl in the modern era. It's only fitting that we not only play there, but take down the dying king of college football and silence the SEC supremacy in this dream of a season. Go fucking Blue. I'm fucking stoked.

Needed this to shut Finebaum the hell up. Also Petitti getting fans thrown out for hurling obscenities at his weak ass? Weakest of sauces. Guy eats his t bell w mild. 

I do think it's an absolute shame for FSU to not make it. I also genuinely think this is fine. You can't tell me the players won't be significantly more locked in knowing Bama and the SEC bias looms over them and they have a chance to shut it all up. In terms of lighting a fire under michigan this will do it. An FSU match up being heavily favored (like last year mind you) could have caused some complacency. To me Ohio State looks more impressive than any of these teams in the playoff besides Michigan. This is gonna be a hell of a next month!

There were logical reasons to leave Bama out, despite their win over Georgia.  But there will always be an SEC bias, especially if it involves Alabama.  It doesn’t matter what era we’re in.  Remember the BCS years when all the rules that were applied to Michigan in 2006 did not apply to Alabama in 2011.  I’m too tired to complain about the Bama special treatment.  It is what it is. 

Have to move forward.  I think all of us pessimists believe that we will not face the same Bama team that needed a miracle to beat a crappy Auburn team, nearly lost to an even crappier Arkansas team, was tied late with a crappy UCF team and gave up big plays all day long in a double digit home loss to Texas.  We will get the Bama team that played Georgia.  It’s going to be a tall task.  

I hate this dickhead McElroy
