CFP REACTION! Michigan over Alabama in the Rose Bowl! Washington beats Texas in Sugar Bowl! 

Yup, they looked terrified sacking Bama 6 times. Shadeur Milroes isn't that fast.

Same bro

Haven't faced a real offense all year but okay lol

Well they actually stopped a lot of people, I think the criticism has been they haven't played a good offense all year, And what would happen when they actually played a very good offense. Ohio State was not a good offense and the Big ten didn't have a lot of good offenses. You can only play who's on your schedule, so I don't think people who had a question about their defense and how good it really was is someone hating on Michigan. It's a valid question, and they showed they were pretty good tonight, But I don't blame anybody for wondering how they would do against a better offense than they've seen all year.

Yep. Michigan’s defensive scheme was installed in 2021 to stop Stroud, JSN, Olave, Ebuka, Harrison Jr., Fleming, and Garrett Wilson. The only things that changed is Minter took over for McDonald and refined it, and the personnel is different. Penix and Washington are good. They deserve respect and will not be easy by any means, but even though OSU this year wasn’t what they were in 2021 and 2022 offensively, Michigan’s defense was built specifically for a high octane passing offense.

Right and you can tell by how everyone else tried to down play Michigan win until Danny stepped in and said Michigan was just better...then Bud agreed. Bud's 2 year endless hate for JJ is crazy. I mean if you tell Bama has 2 1st round pick corners 2 first round pick pass rushers 2 safeties that will both be drafted by end of round 2 Then 17-27 221 3-0 with a game-tying + game-winning drive are pretty good But Bud thinks JJ was terrible. My guess is Bud lost his ass tonight betting against JJ now he's sour.

@@florida1289 I been going in all night on analyst and Bama fans.

He only picked them because Alabama went over FSU lol. He's petty af

By definition the best team always wins because they played better than the other team. Are you actually serious with that comment. Oh my God. That is why they play the game

@@seanvail7186Where will Washington play next season?

Penix is going to tear the top off Michigan's defense to.

​@@coreypoundstone5281 He won't have time.

WRONG. Penix has played teams with barely any defense. Michigan have NFL caliber Dbacks and are trained to handle speed. Penix throws on back foot nonstop and will make bad throws from the pressure.

Still going to be difficult to slow down Washington if (and it's a big if) their offensive line plays that well again. With enough time Odunze, Polk and McMillan will get open. Or like in this game, even if they aren't open they still make the catch.

​@@davida730michigan will sack penix at least 4-5 times. He won't have time to throw the ball downfield

Tom is right about Texas getting away from the run too quickly, though. I was grateful for that.

I had Odunze on my ballot because he showed up every game. Even against Arizona with a collapsed lung he had 5 catches for 64 yards. That was his "worst" game. Also, good to know that if anybody doesn't agree with the majority they should lose their vote. You should run for office, you'd probably get elected these days.

@@tomfornelli8417 Thank you for the reply, but just for the record, the rib injury and punctured lung happened during the onside kick recovery at the end of the Arizona game, so Odunze didn't play that game with the injury. But I take your point that it makes what he did against Oregon 2 weeks later truly legendary. I love the love for Rome, but you had to know leaving Penix completely off your ballot would be akin to giving an extra vote to Daniels, since Odunze wasn't going to finish Top 4, let alone Top 2. I guess it's like someone voting Jill Stein or Jo Jorgensen for office. It's not about disagreeing with the majority, it's about understanding who is actually in the race.

He says he didn't vote for him because they barely won. But then votes for a guy with 3 losses. He's a absolute clown.

Teams have transfers just not starters. Biggest name was likely Murphy, Texas’ backip quarterback who started games for them this year.

Washington's offensive line is legit the best unit in the country. Good luck

@@markstepanekii388 As winners of the prior 2 Joe Moore Awards, I understand. I also understand a superior defensive line/numbers renders what you did before the playoffs moot. I watched Georgia destroy a Joe Moore Award winning O-line.

@@Mrjbdet20 texas got to Bama 5 times. Michigan got to Bama 6 times. Texas got to UW 0. They'll keep Penix clean

@@markstepanekii388 We'll see if that holds up. Let's check in Monday night.

@@markstepanekii388 Winner in the trenches comes out on top again. Welcome to the Big Ten

Conner Stalions telling them what plays their opponents were running, on both sides of the ball, helped a lot.

@@roris5882​​⁠ keep hanging onto that like your soft coach, soft team, and softest fan base in the country. It’s blaming outside factors that’s caused your program to decline because you won’t look inward and just want to point fingers. Pansies. The lot of you. You’ve been crying in comment sections for 3 years now and I love it.

@@roris5882 Yes, those iphone videos from drunk college kids 30 rows up sure helped them against Bama, OSU, and Penn State this season. Enjoy the natty from your couch idiot!🤣🌹🌹🌹

@@roris5882 Crazy that Mike McDonald became the DC for the Ravens and has the best defense in the NFL without Stalions. Also weird how Stalions hasn't been on Michigan's staff for 2 months and Michigan still beat PSU, OSU and Bama. Without Harbaugh for 2 of those games either. Sounds like a sad excuse to cope with reality.

@@HyzersGR Harbaugh started hiring really good coaches after he was desperate enough to ask his brother for help. That's also when he started his cheating operation and hired Stalions as a full-time Sign Stealer Guy. Yes, his coaching hires were fantastic but so was the cheating operation. Whenever Stalions cracked the code Michigan started blowing their opponents out because they new what plays they were calling, on both sides of the ball, before the ball was snapped. That's why US Integrity got involved because the red flags started popping up in all of Michigan's games. Shit, they stopped Stoud from scoring on them in the second half last season and he scorched UGA's defense and is also lighting up the NFL.

You say that like they didn't have a chance to win

​@@derrickmeade4891They didn't win.

So what??? Clearly 2 fantastic games, either team coulda won either. You're acting like the games look the committee's choices look bad or something, which couldn't be further than the truth.

Exactly

Texas sacked Bama one less time than Michigan and Washington didn't let them touch Penix. They're gonna keep him pretty clean..

@@markstepanekii388 How did you feel as Penix limped off the field, clearly defeated and demoralized?

@@ES2990 one sack. It was a game going into the 4th. Lol

They haven’t faced an offense even close to Washington this year

@@dmw7681 didn’t you people say this exact same thing for bama?? Michigan will handle both lines of scrimmage. Also have a lockdown secondary

@@stevenselleck5460 no real person who knows football said that about Alabamas offense. The best offense Michigan had played is Ohio st, and they’re ranked in the mid 40s in total offense. Alabama is in the 50s. Washington is top 10 in total offense. I’m not saying Washington will win, I’m just saying this is BY FAR the best offense they will play.

@@dmw7681 yes they did. They said that same exact comment since Milroe was mobile. Also Michigan contained Stroud and Harrison Jr last year in columbus… same coordinator/personnel. Good luck to the huskies

@@stevenselleck5460 well idc what those other ppl said, I DIDNT say that. I said the game would be lower scoring. Like I said, their offense isn’t ranked in the 50s for nothing. And I know you aren’t really reaching for a game that happened a YEAR ago. I said Washington is the best offense they faced THIS year if you were actually paying attention. The reality is, they haven’t played a top 40 offense this season, and it’s gonna be a bigger task whether you like it or not.

the ball was TIPPED off path right into Wlsons hands. So where would it have gone if not tipped?

You're right, I didn't watch. JJ was throwing dimes all night.

​@@RB-.- into his stomach instead of 5 feet over his head.

@@smackdown542001 the ball was tipped down though it dipped in trajectory!!!

Penix started out extremely hot, but as Bud said, he disappeared for a month. Idk what happened during that stretch, but that's what cost him the Heisman. I would have voted for Penix but the numbers Daniels put up were amazing, so I can't fault someone who voted for him

Bud a dork for not having Penix on his ballot, Penix clears 3 loss Daniels easily

Heisman is the best player. As they said, can't be the best player if you drop off the face of the earth for a month and don't score a single offensive TD against a really bad Arizona State team.

​@@davida730the goal is to win. Did penix win or not?

@@mr.nobody8181 yeah and daniels lost 3 times. what’s more important winning or losing? it’s not like Penix had awful stats, he put up yards just his TD’s weren’t as high. who cares about your stats when you lose, his int i guarantee were reasons why LSU lost

Yes. I noticed that also

Asu and Stanford, idk the rest. But its silly to say he disappeared when Washington literally went undefeated. The goal is to win whether by 1 point or 20

Against Oregon State and Washington State he was a combined 31/61 (50.8%) and averaged 6.0 yards per attempt. If JJ McCarthy has those games everybody says he sucks. I don't think either of them suck, but the fact is that Washington is a great team. It's not just Michael Penix, and Penix had some average games where he was carried by the team. There were plenty of other games he did the carrying. That's what teams do.

Because the offense wasn’t moving the ball and making massive mistakes. That’s why your run game was working man lol. Defenses get tired just so you didn’t know.

@@webechubbin I legitimately do not understand what you are trying to say with this comment. The offense was working when they ran the ball. The offense failed when they dropped back with Milroe or the center forgot how to snap.

You damn sure will be the only one that has that score cause Washington damn sure won't beat Michigan. Those stick legs ain't gonna hold up against a black Friday pass rush

The only problem is, it would basically become a recency bias award and whatever contender is on the best team and screws up the least on the way to the Natty becomes the Heisman.

Disagree. If you wait until after the CFP the Heisman just becomes a CFP MVP award.

You don’t willingly give the other team the ball back with a chance to score to win when you have a shot to pick up the first down and ice the game. You’re using some nice hindsight glasses. What model are they?

@@thomasfrederick71 You’re being ridiculous. How was what happened better? The job IS to calculate those chances and the risks.

@@cradd2405 yeah, and what are the risks of an injury on your side of the ball on three snaps? I think you’re miscalculating the actual risks because of what happened which was very unlikely. You even referenced what happened and not what was likely to happen. That’s hindsight. Idk which coaching staff will do a better job but ask any coach in the country and i bet they tell you they run for the first down and don’t kneel until they can run out the clock. Cristobal at Miami was completely different. There the clock runs to zero if he knees.

@@thomasfrederick71 I have already presented the alternative outcome that had a very high probability of success, confident it was higher (at the time) than the one DeBoer chose.

😂 You'll learn NPC, we've been hearing your disrespect every week.

Wtf are you talking about?!?

Kristina, nobody is denigrating Washington by pointing out that they play close games. Stop listening for disrespect that isn't there. We spent 10 minutes talking about how great Penix was, how great Trice was, how well the OL did, about their NFL receivers, but the only thing you hear is us mentioning they're constantly playing close games.

@@tomfornelli8417 fair point.

It takes 3 games for Mich to score 35 points

@@scotttubiolo9028they’re like 10th in scoring offenses. Avg. 37ppg

😂😂😂 You'll learn. Go Dawgs!!

Tell me after what you just watched Washington do to Texas and you mean to tell me that you think Michigan is beating this team by 14? LMAO

​@@wongyangus I mean it was a good game lol, not a dominant performance

Marvin had cj stroud last year and put up the same stats as this year. Udunze is better

@@johnnyoldenjr.Exactly. He had a year of experience and a way worse QB and his stats didn’t go down. Odunze has the best QB in the country

@ShaneMichealCupp hes not better than udinze marvin doesnt have that dog in him he quits on routs

Michigan was the better team for most of the game, although their special teams made them look worse. Also, people are so used to seeing Bama win once they get the lead in the 2nd half that's its shocking that they lost. Bama didn't have a typical Bama defensive game. Only one sack wow. People are happy to see Bama lose, and the SEC lost due to the media and CFP committee SEC bias. It's the perfect way to end the 4 team playoff with no SEC team in the championship. It shows parity in the sport and makes it not so regional.

Yeah i dont know what game they watched lol. As soon as Alabama went up 17-13, Michigan felt completely out of it. I think they got like 3 first downs from halftime to the final drive in the 4th. Michigan pulled a random drive out at the last second in part to a busted coverage ignoring Corum and a freak tipped pass that went right to Wilson, but Bama dominated that game.

@@RB-.- they are pretty open in their contempt for the sec. I don't hate them for that and even understand it. But it still should not affect who they think is the better team and who controlled the game. Alabama lost that game when they had control, but if you listened only to them, you would think Alabama was lucky to even be in it. I know if they played again would bet on Alabama lol

Did you skip the part of the show where I was talking about how Alabama took over in the second half and it felt like it was another case where Bama just hangs around and takes the game away from you?

Bud and Danny are openly biased against Alabama. It’s norm for the show. They apparently have no issue with the integrity of the most important game being questioned though. Bring on the cheaters!

Excuses...lol GoHuskies!!!

@@legendaryasi naw just facts little homie. Im pretty based. I’m literally pointing out the bad play calling and that Texas secondary stinks. Try again. I’m not a whiner 🤡

Everything has to be absolutely perfect for Ewers or he can't really do it

Just don't see that. I could see UW 38 Michigan 31. Michigan is going to run it down UW's throat but can they stop Penix??

Washington doesn't have a top 40 run D or a top 100 pass D... Michigan can also rush the passer... Penix will be under pressure all night..

Right that’s what’s making me upset, people keep thinking just bc Penix through for 400 on texas he can against Michigan. If you’ve even seen one texas game there secondary has been TRASH they can’t defend. The people who picked Texas to win are insane. Michigan just played a bama team that dominated Georgia, that has had an elite defense all year, and a mobile QB in Jalen milroe. They sacked him six times, the number of pressures he was under this game might be in the triple digits💀, and they were able to run and pass the ball effectively. It may not be the long passes like Penix through but the reason he was able to do that was bc Texas doesn’t have a pass rush he had time, he’s not going to have that against this Michigan d line and there secondary is leagues ahead of texas’s. If you watched both games you saw one game where both teams had an elite level defense and it showed all game but texas and Washington? The question should be can Washington keep up bc there defense isn’t anywhere close to bama’s so nobody thinks Michigan couldn’t move the ball effectively against washington but they did Alabama who’s way more of a challenge defensively than Washington is. It’s not going to be a Washington blow out win, if there was a team to get blown out it would be the huskies. If you thinking Michigan isn’t getting 4plus sacks in that next game then idk what to tell you.

No

Huh? How?? We just saw 2 amazing games that both could've gone either way.

Its an extremely deep field this year.7 or 8 teams that would've given fantastic finishes and guess what...FSU isn't one of them.

Michigan did survive tho alabama was driving to put the game away before they fumbled it

@@derrickmeade4891 sayin we survived is like sayin anyone who wins survived like we didn't survive bro we did wht we always do bend never fold tell me this isn't identical to the Ohio st game I understand sayin it was a tough fought game tht could've went either way but survived no bama was trying to survive we won despite all the special teams bs tht never happens minus tht from the game we when by 18
