No but for real, with two pretty equal teams in each game, they will do everything in their power to make sure the one that actually has a shot at the playoff wins. Big 10, SEC, and B12 it's not as obvious, but for this case there's no doubt. If Colorado and UW were close it'd be the same thing. These championship games are stupid.

Other than "integrity of the game," what is the benefit of having Clemson lose this game for the ACC? Kinda obvious who they are going with there...

To me, the crazy thing is if the committee truly looks at "body of work", wouldn't a decision between UofM and OSU be tough? Yet everyone says OSU is a lock.

But I can't bring myself to agree at this point. I realized today, while watching Clemson clearly establish itself as the better team over VaTech, that football is depressing, still. This season was so amazing, until it wasn't. I thought a week was enough, but dammit this season will go down as one of the biggest "what ifs" in Michigan football history.

 

 

Maybe 2017 will bring the good ol' feelings back. As for now, November and December suck, because all we seem to do is watch OTHER teams play, while we sit on our asses and hope for upsets.

I was curious about where Gesicki came from, which lead me to look up tight end recruiting rankings. That 2013 tight end class was pretty stacked:

#1 OJ Howard

#2 Adam Breneman

#3 Henry Hunter

#4 Marcus Baugh

#6 Jake Butt
