why? he's done well at Michigan, it just happens that there is a better coach in Columbus.
Because Michigan wont win anything with this insanely predictable offense. Constantly running up the middle, no mixing of plays on downs. So easy to stop. He’s had 4 years to change it and its just gotten worse year over year. The playcalling and the style of play is atrocious. He should have been forced to hire an OC to give up full control of the O last off season. Instead, he fired the OC that collaborated with him on the offense, hired an OLC and took over more control of the offense. I said it then that it was the exact opposite of what he should have done. But he’s too stubborn to evolve with the times. He tries to be the second coming of Bo Schembechler wayyy too much that he refuses to realize that football is no longer the run up the gut, 3 yards and a cloud of dust game. Also, its annoying to me that he is emotionless on the sideline. Looks so disengaged. Seems like he just doesnt have the fire in him or the passion anymore.

you're the second best team in the big 10. be careful what you wish for. Meyer is one anxiety attack away from retirement.

I wouldnt be surprised if he “retires” this off season.

I firmly believe he will be the next Notre Dame HC when Kelly goes in the next few years so i have retires in quotes.

Nah, Notre Dame would go with the current "hot" coach. Just like Kelly was, and Weis, and Willingham.

ND would be more likely to go for a Jeff Brohm (who i think eventually goes back to UL), Kliff Kingsbury, Josh Heupel or Neal Brown. Or whoever rises into the spotlight in the next couple years....the OC from Memphis that everyone loves or the recruiting guru from UT, Those type of guys....the young dynamic up and coming coaches fits with what ND normally does.

every fan wants a national championship but its actually really hard to do, unless you're nick saban. Dabo may turn out the same but most guys that win it only get one and everything has to fall into place.

Texas had the chance to win 3 with Mack but Chris Simms inexplicably melted down against a Colorado team we had destroyed in the regular season in the CCG and didnt get to the game. And Colt McCoy got hurt on the second drive of the 2009/10 game. You need a lot of luck

pretty predictable results across the board for championship weekend.
Biggest story is Jalen Hurts replacing Tua and winning Bama the game single handedly. The exact opposite of what happened in the Championship game last year against the same team in the same stadium:ROFLMAO:

So will it be Georgia or Oklahoma? I think Georgia are the better team.

OU. 1 loss, conference champion and im not sure the committe would want yet another rematch. But Georgia are the better team. Just yet another reason why we must expand to 8 teams.

Oklahoma got the No.4.

The playoff rankings seem fair. Georgia is one of the four best teams in the country but shouldn't be in with 2 losses while Oklahoma has the better loss out of itself and Ohio State.

If you're one of the best four teams then I think you should be in regardless of how many loses you have.

how do you know Georgia is one of the four best teams? The whole thing is kind of a joke. Honestly, if you want Georgia in get rid of Notre Dame but that wont happen. Similarly, UCF hasnt lost a game since 2016 and is a conference champion. What do you have to do to get in?

I don't. It's just an opinion based on the few games I've watched and what the "experts" think. Alabama have been steamrolling everyone this year and Georgia were every bit as good as them yesterday.

they probably are, but the question should be settled on the field. and you can think they are better than OU or Ohio State but as you say its just an opinion. Kinda why I said the CFP is a joke. I think its mostly about sharing as much TV money as they can get reasonably equitably among the major conferences. And Notre Dame, unfortunately.

some pundits have made the argument that record alone shouldnt determine the order of preference but all the same pundits assume Notre Dame should be in because of their unbeaten record.

I thought Notre Dame has a tough schedule, especially early? They mentioned it nearly every time they played.
