Calling an All Big 10 Final
Dec 29, 2022, 7:29 PM
|

I feel like we are due for something crazy to happen in the playoffs. GA is getting all the hype which makes me think they could be vulnerable and OSU comes in with a lot to prove. It is always a lot of pressure trying to repeat. GA is built for it but I have that odd feeling that I get when an upset is brewing. Maybe GA blows them out and I'm all wet.
But you heard it here first...

And for what it's worth, I detest OSU and want GA to win.

I love wishful thinking (especially when I’m doing the wishful thinking).
OH State beats UGA and TCU beats MI.
TCU then pulls off their 4th miracle of the year and beats OH State.
Then, OH State, UGA, and MI disband their FB programs, invest heavily in Women’s B.Ball and dethrone S.Carolina’s over-exposed W.B.Ball team.

Might be a no B1G Final

I think UGA is going to plaster Ohio State. Their pass rush will make CJ Stroud miserable and cover up weaknesses in their secondary. I don't see any way Ohio State's defense can stop UGA's offense unless Stetson Bennett has his worst game of the season.
I think TCU's chance to beat Michigan is being overlooked. This is where the most likely upset happens. If they can jam the line enough to slow down Michigan's run game, they have a very good chance to win. On the other side, I expect TCU to successfully move the ball by air on Michigan's defense.
Bottom line: UGA should easily clobber Ohio State. Michigan is overrated and if TCU's run defense doesn't collapse sometime during the game, they have a >50% change to win.
My 2 cents.

I'm getting a strange feeling just the opposite.

In the pick em contest I picked UGA vs. Michigan.
For some unknown reason, I'm considering picking TCU over Michigan. Don't ask me to explain it.

I'd be OK with that. It just feels like an upset is going to come from somewhere...

There are plenty of reasons to pick TCU over Michigan

If you watched Michigan during the season, doubting them makes a lot of sense. Their blowout against Ohio State was more a matter of Ohio State laying down than Michigan being great. The hype and discussion have completely gone the other way for some reason.
I seriously doubt a soft Ohio State team can get up off the canvas and challenge a physical, nasty UGA team can that smash their heads in.
On the other hand, I think losing to K-State will put TCU in a better mental state against Michigan. The entire key to this is whether TCU can avoid being overwhelmed by Michigan's run game, especially in the 2nd half. I think it's possible, especially with the extra time to prepare.

OSU has a lot to prove. They'll be looking to respond to the talk of their being soft. I expect they will respond to that, for about a quarter. Then the Dawgs beat them into submission.

Never thought that I would be more up on UGA than you. I'll give OSU being in it after the kickoff since it will probably be a touchback. Once time starts running off the clock, OSU's hopes will be running out.

So true. I'm operating on what usually happens which is I make a prediction and the opposite comes true. Kind of like my stock picks.

You are mistaken about B1G fans

Pleeeeease do NOT equate all Big Ten fans with Ohio State fans.
I'm a Purdue graduate. When the Clemson vs. Ohio State Fiesta Bowl matchup was first announced 3 years ago, I told everyone here they would quickly learn to despise Ohio State fans even more than their football team. It took about 2 weeks for that "prophecy" to become true.
The OSU fanbase is not representative of the rest of the conference. Most of us are level-headed, reasonable people. OSU fans are a completely different breed. I've said for years Ohio State is like having an SEC team in the Big Ten, particularly their lunatic fans. They are despised by everyone else in the conference.
Michigan fans are probably second worst but they aren't even remotely close. Some fans bases, like Wisconsin, Purdue, IU, Northwestern are really quite likeable and just want to have some fun.

Nothing hurts more than getting to the championship game and losing to your biggest, most hated rival. If that can't happen, I hope TCU wins it all!

Screw Ohio State. They backed in and I hope they get obliterated. The B1G is terribly overrated and has been for a long while. But being a big money conference, pollsters will never look at the measly success since the late 60s. Let me help, 3 pathetic National Titles in football. In that same amount of time, the ACC has had 7. But that’s the soft conference who plays nobodies.

However I would make an exception in this case if fur only to see the SEC fans complain.
