It's been a collection of the same big programs with a few surprises over the years, so it's like the Euro Cup.

Oh look powerhouse program from (Spain, Big 12) and powerhouse program from (Italy, SEC) and powerhouse program from (Germany, Big 10, if there's any place to get a great bratwurst it's the Big 10) and ok let's include someone from the powerhouse programs with a fuckton of money, the (PAC 12, English Premier League)

I tried to line these comparisons up both geographically (Big 12 and SEC are in the south, Big 10 in the north and PAC 12 in the west kinda) and to fit their style. I guess the ACC goes either in France with their relation with Notre Dame, or.... the Balkans? My comparisons with EUFA are not that good.

Michigan is over rated. Lost to a team that didn't even win its championship game. Also my distaste for Jim Harbaugh is strong so it's good that they had. A 50 burg dropped on them.

gently caress Ohio State except for their kicker, who I feel absolutely awful for. I couldn't quite tell but did a Georgia player maybe get a hand on the ball to knock it off-course?

Disappointed about Michigan losing, but back to back conference titles is pretty rad. Plus I'll always have the memory of watching the second half of that Ohio State game with my mom, after over a decade of having the stink of a loss hanging over the end of Thanksgiving (couldn't see them last year, so it's been a while for me!)

Nope, ball split all the rushers on its way harmlessly to the left. Day really blew that endgame.

Unless you wanted them to run the ball into blitzes against a defense that was pretty solid against non CJ Stroud runs I don't think Day did too bad from a theoretical standpoint in the last set of downs. They were still trying to move the ball. Georgia just got there with their pass rush on the last couple of plays and there was nothing Stroud could do it seems to me and they were stuck with that long kick.

I suppose they could have run another short route on 3rd down to get a little closer.

e: I guess if we're talking the whole 4th quarter, yeah, there are some questions there.

"I think if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that Penn State and Michigan both suck and are garbage and it’s hilarious Michigan fans are freaking out thinking this is their natty window when they can’t even beat a B12 team in the playoffs lmao"
Stroud snapping the ball at roughly six minutes with 40 on the playclock and the clock ticking down after that injury was insanely stupid, OSU has the worst clock management it’s infuriating

I don't know if it is anymore honestly. You had 3 of the top 15 scoring defenses playing in the semis this year and they all gave up more than 40.

That defense was trash all year. Their only notable performance was penn state having a melty in the 4th

Didn't really watch the semis except for catching the 3rd quarter of TCU at a bar and the final minute of Georgia.

Feel safe saying they were probably the best playoff games yet though since playoff games are usually huge turds.

2018 Rose Bowl is the only other semifinal in the same tier as last night's games. 2019 Fiesta Bowl was good but a tier below.

2015 Rose Bowl also belongs in that top tier for me personally as I got to watch the horseshoe that was in FSU's rear end all season get forcefully ripped out.

It is hard to picture TCU losing by this much because they seem to respond to any kind of adversity with "gently caress you" followed by a TD.

The one game they lost, their QB was collapsing from exhaustion with every play late in the 4th and OT and still nearly getting it done.

Might be ugly as all hell but I doubt they get blown out

Georgia has some injury issues. They were already shorthanded at linebacker, then Chaz Chambliss was injured last night. Freshmen are apparently who are left on the depth chart. Darnell Washington was in a boot after going out. Washington's not the best pass catcher, but he's massive and he blocks. On the flip side, it looks like both Arian Smith and AD Mitchell are both healthy. Neither made any measurable contribution during the regular season.

I think we might be in for another shootout and I'm perfectly fine with that. As much as I want Georgia to win, I wouldn't be upset with TCU. The Frogs are cool and good.

I hope both teams makes some incredibly ridiculous plays and score a bunch of points. I'll probably root for TCU because this is their first time, they did the needful and put down Michigan, and it's fun to yell about Hypnotoad. However, I bear no ill-will towards them dawgs.

Noah Ruggles has been painfully average the entire time he’s been at OSU and even his makes between 30 and 40 look like absolute rear end most of the time. The idea that he was going to hit that 50 yarder is laughable. I get that you have to try the field goal there but they absolutely needed to try to get about 20 more yards before they attempted that.

Their kickoff specialist literally has the leg for 55, but Day has absolutely refused to give him burn this year because Parker Fleming has this weird obsession with Ruggles hitting despite never ever looking good doing it.
