if georgia fumbled twice inside the one and threw two pick sixes, they'd probably be losing too.

michigan is fine and - if harbaugh returns, - will be better next year.

sorry g2, i know how much that bothers you, lol.

Georgia actually could have given up 28 pts in TOs and they'd still be up by 20!

If we are/were realistic about UM, on a pure football basis completely apart from Harbaugh considerations, they didn't have the secondary or receiver corp to reach elite status this season. 

If Harbaugh goes, and the odds seem to be increasing by the day, the hiring process should be as wild as any recent season has been.  🍿🍿🍿

I tend to believe he goes. He was essentially fired in SF, which hadn't happened to him before, and that has stuck in his craw and my guess is he wants to go back before the clock runs out on him and prove to the league that firing him was a mistake.

Michigan would have played a much closer game than this absurdity. Not saying they’d have won, but if they turn the ball over 2x instead of 4x against TCU, they win. If they don’t turn it over at all, they win by 14+.

They just forgot how to football in the first half. And you can’t do that against a good team.

TCU is not a good team.

there is still something about the layoffs that seems to affect northern teams more than southern ones. Sure they have all the training facilities indoor so the weather outdoors shouldn't matter, but I almost think there must be some kind of seasonal physiological reaction in the body as winter sets in around you.

They went 13-2, that’s a bit harsh.

To move the goalposts, they’re not Rutgers or Maryland where you can get away with only playing one half of football.

But I think TCU is good.

The entire season has been a joke.  Maybe it’s the portal or lingering effects still from the Covid season but this year featured some of the worst top teams we’ve seen in decades.   Even this Georgia team would get pounded by  recent CFP qualifiers.

College Football is a southern sport.   Far more recruits come from the south, and while southern recruits do play for northern teams, the southern schools have almost all southern players.   That's okay. we won the Civil War and that is more important.

ohio state is a southern school that plays in the big ten.

texas is the real underachiever.  they have one of the most fertile grounds for recruits, more money than god, and a fanatic fan base.

usc is an underachiever too given their inherent advantages.

teams like michigan, notre dame, and penn state are national schools with solid recuriting foundations of ohio and pennsylvania, but theyre at a disadvantage because they dont have a home base like california, texas, louisiana/mississippi, and florida.  and its harder to get kids to come somewhere cold like michigan or penn state than it is to get them to go to cali (even though ohio state does it pretty well).  michigan has a bigger national profile than penn state, but penn state has a better natural recruiting base in pennsylvania.  conversely, notre dame has a bigger national profile than michigan, but has no real recruiting base because indiana isnt much and chicago isnt a real high school football hotbed.

3. Cheating the right way

Lots of teams cheated the right way and lost their coach and still fell off.  

The SEC has an advantage because the conference is so deep and have seen so many teams go from up to down when a coach leaves that they all get it now that the program is only as good as the coach.  

USC, Michigan, OU, ND, Miami, Florida State, and many others have failed to figure that out multiple times because their conferences are such that they can at least compete even with the wrong coach, yet still think they are a just a year away because they believe the program is what makes it go and will magically fix itself based on things that happened many years ago.
