I did some tooling around and found a site with betting lines for the cfp. It has Bama a 13.5 and Georgia as a 7.5 favorite for people interested in that.
Still a Midwest vs SEC playoff.Crazy if OSU didn't lose to Oregon we probably have an all SEC/B1G playoff
Hope they both get beat like a drum. This is the one year I’ll give in to our SEC overlords.Still a Midwest vs SEC playoff.
I'm sure Michigan & Cincy will represent us well...

There's definitely a part of me that wants to root for Cincy.GTFO
Lets go Zips! Or Bearcats!
Whatever team is from Ohio.
Can't blame Michigan fans for talking themselves into having a chance. It's been a while.
Michigan did play Wisconsin and Iowa this year.
So you at least have a proxy of offensive performance against two good defenses and Michigan performed well.
- Wisconsin is #1 in total defense (240.8), #2 in yards per play (4.17), #3 in offensive TD's (18), #3 in DFEI
- Iowa is #19 in total defense (326.8), #10 in yards per play (4.72), #T-19 in offensive TD's (29), #4 in DFEI
Their offensive output in those games:
- Wisconsin: 365 total yards, 4.87 yards per play, 4 offensive TD's, 3 FG's
- Iowa: 461 total yards, 7.2 yards per play, 6 offensive TD's
They are going to need to have Cade play well vs Georgia but I think the big surprise in the SEC championship game was that Georgia's 4 man pressure wasn't very effective at all. If Michigan can protect and force them to blitz more to bring pressure, I do like their passing game matchups on Georgia's LB's .....either with their TE's or RB's in space.
I also think Michigan's defense can do similar things to Bennett.
Back half of the Georgia season, they played teams that were ranked this way in total defense.
Florida - #46
Mizzou - #111
Tennessee - #85
Charleston - FCS
Georgia Tech - #116
Bama - #8
They have played an exceptionally soft defensive schedule down the stretch. The one good defense they played, they turned it over twice, ran for 3.6 YPC and played catch up the whole second half.
I think Georgia has a ton of talent and maybe they bounce back after getting embarrassed........but it is also possible they just played absolutely no one with a defensive pulse.......and now they are going to play another team that is just as good, if not better, defensively.
Michigan is embarrassingly under talented.
