Happy Tuesday, everyone. Last night was the mockery of a national title game that one should expect when putting a team of overachieving try hards into the playoff. In hindsight, if the committee was going to do the politically expedient thing and put a one-loss team in the playoff that “deserved” to be there on one-loss record but not based on most any advanced metric out there, why were they seeded third?
Nothing about that team says that they are “better” than Ohio State. This silly matchup could have been the early semifinal on New Year’s Eve and, assuming Michigan crapped the bed the same way as they likely would have, we could have had that great Ohio State vs Georgia matchup in the final.
