I'm glad michigan won. Hopefully, we won't see Bama anymore this feels alot like Florida's last year of dominance when Bama took the crown alot of teams are catching up it will be hard to any one team to be dominate now thanks to NiL
Congratulations Michigan, y’all deserved the win. Love an instant classic overtime game, even if it doesn’t end the way I wanted. Best of luck to y’all in the National Championship. RTR
Have you watched football the last 10 years? SEC has dominated and this game literally went to OT could have gone either way was just a all around great game unlike the blowout that was Georgia vs FSU haha not sure how you think espn tried to rig anything seeing as they don't even decide who gets in and who doesn't 😂
You are exactly right, they are corrupted. They are owned by ESPN owned Disney. Older BS gets covered app and they try to go after Michigan for false narrative about spying. You can't win by spying in college football. It doesn't work that way All these idiots said now that they get caught. Let's see how they could do well just like Tom Brady, they kicked a**
The second michigan stopped bama on the last play, I bet finebaum put in a "family emergency" request for vacation. We are about to hear crickets from him.
Wishful thinking!!! Never going to happen!!! Excuses will come from him before praise to him personally. I would prefer him saying to his face that he was wrong but don't see that happening. Happy when FSU was not in CPP. Now happy his favorite team is not in the championship game.
Play of the game was the double pass from Donovan Edwards back to JJ and JJ's impressive side-arm pass to Roman Wilson with an Alabama defender in his face. That's the play. Plays like that create Michigan legends. Go Blue!
@longsleevethong1457 It's been proven over and over the scandal had no effect on the outcomes of games. Teams change their signs and signals every week because of this. If the NCAA takes it to trial, they will lose before they even enter the courtroom.
@@grbggaming6885 so you have an acceptable amount of cheating? What is it? I bet you think boys should compete with girls too. You Michigan fans are pathetic. Y’all just taught america that you’ll cheat just to win.
As a Penn St fan who usually supports any B10 team in the playoffs, I wasn’t thrilled to root for Bama but I wasn’t a fan of the entire scandal surrounding Michigan’s program and for me, it always left a shadow of doubt over whether they benefitted from illegal sign stealing operation or not. Well tonight, the wolverines certainly put all the doubts to rest. This was an all out trench warfare and UMs oline and Dline dominated Bama. Michigan certainly played like the No 1 team in the country. Congratulations to the wolverine fanbase.
Nice. But UM's win over PSU, weeks after the sign-stealing allegations broke, and with Harbaugh suspended when UM's plane was already in the air to the game, should have put the doubts to rest earlier.
You should always support any Big 10 team in the playoffs because Michigan just gave you millions of dollars and millions more playing in the national title game. Your doubts about the bs sign stealing should have ended when Michigan beat your team AT happy valley WITHOUT Harbaugh. After watching the bowl season, Michigan is carrying the shitty big ten conference
@@bruceching4078 Not really. Penn state played incredibly unimaginative football on the offensive side and if anything that victory reflected more poorly on Penn State’s offense than anything else. That UM team that day did not look like a championship team. Surely better than Penn State but not a national title contender.
@@jerodjones6846 Michigan did no one any favours. UM fans need to abandon this attitude of entitlement. You need B10 just as much as B10 needs Michigan. It’s funny you’re running your mouth after the first time in a decade that UM has won a bowl game. All these years, Michigan shitting the bed in a bowl game was a certainty so maybe you wanna hold your horses on your bowl record. Yeah B10 is trash, UM included. One good year doesn’t change that. From next year, B10 will get better teams and will be a much better conference than what it has been historically. SEC as a conference is miles ahead of B10.
I guess all those anonymous coaches Thamel interviewed for his pre game story about how bad Bama would crush Michigan were dead wrong? That’s got to sting for him and them.
Funny... More like Bama vs everybody with all the Bama and Saban haters here trolling. "The world wins when Bama loses" etc. Either way, Michigan was the better team with that front seven. Hopefully Bama will have another chance next season.
All the sign gate whiners and general detractors have no grounds for maintaining their position. Since mid season no signs were involved - that includes you Pete and Finebaum. Michigan has won every game in different ways, even with JJ. injured. Respect is earned on the field. Tonight it was Michigan football over Bama. No excuses!
I agree, I will bet he will not pick Michigan next week too for the National Championship and here excuses for the loss I am sure and any other person on ESPN not picking Michigan before this game. I respect what the SEC Football Commentators said after the game after Alabama loss. At least those including Tebow has class even if in loss for a team he played the conference for. 😀
Congrats on the hard fought victory, y’all earned it ! Hopefully Finebaum goes and hides somewhere… that dude’s a total clown. Good luck in the Natty… RTR
Coming from a FSU fan I'm glad Michigan won The Committee felt that this Alabama team was better and they were wrong. please Stop saying That Michigan out SEC'd Bama They are a BIG 10 team so they Out BIG 10 'D a SEC team. Don't take away there credit that had nothing to do with the SEC This is a BIG win For THE BIG 10 conference. they betted on Bama and lost
Not really salty I think any fan who is honest while we hate to lose can accept the fact that they lost a great game that's football sometimes you win sometimes you lose hats off to Michigan played a heck of a game and proud of bama for the year they had definitely didn't think would would win the sec or make it this far after the Texas game
Got to love it that these two along with ESPN actually has to congrat Michigan. Rece with his comments and of course Thamel comments. It feels good that these two actually had to say Michigan did it!
I think this is the year that the trajectory of the SEC reverses. Next year's playoffs will not be the SEC party like many in the south thought. Washing is thoroughly dominating Texas as I type this. There are rumors that Saban is quitting after today. Luke Fickell is a great coach who is ascending.
I am an SEC fan (LSU), the new BIG10 with UW, Oregon and to 2 Cali schools coming in will be able to match the SEC. Anybody from the SEC saying otherwise is being a homer.
Definitely looking like 2 monster conferences with the changes coming. No question that the B1G has positioned itself to have every chance the SEC has to win titles. Entering a new era later this year. Congrats on the win Michigan, y’all earned it. RTR
When you thirsty, a single droplet of water feels like the whole ocean. The Big 10 hasnt had success for so long, as soon as they get a team to the natty, they start proclaiming that the SEC is dead. 😂 calm down
Most of these so called experts gave MICHIGAN no respect all year, and once again proved they have no idea what they're talking about ( Finebaum)... Great game for this team, one more win for the NATTY. GO BLUE
Wow, the first ESPN broadcast that I didn’t hear the words “sign stealing.” Maybe they finally understand after Penn st, ohio state, and Alabama that Michigan won it in the field!
It's upsetting that the Qb from Bama didn't congrats JJ AN JUST WALKED OFF THE FIELD I like Bama and respect for the young Qb, but that just when out the door poor sportsmanship
Low class for sure. I feel bad for them because they played their hearts out and they are just kids after all. That being said, no excuse for poor sportsmanship.
awakenbeerus you are a G! I was a fool before denying your predictions but posting the correct score of this game made me change my mind. AWAKENBEERUS THANK YOU!
Well well well. A few years in with the NIL and what do you know, the SEC barely snuck in at the four seed. Sucks for you that all conferences get to legally pay their players now.
That's very accurate. It usually takes about 3-4 years for recruiting cycles to show whether they are on an up slope or down. It's been very clear that bama has been paying players for years and other sec teams as well. It's been a known fact out here in the big ten that when Saban was coach at Michigan state, he wanted to start buying guys and the university told him "no." Sure enough he left for lsu and 3rd year in he wins the natty and leaves for the nfl where he was a very mediocre coach with a losing record over 2 seasons. Then back to bama he wins his 3rd year and we all know the rest. He's been cheating his whole time. Why you think he was so against the NIL? It took away his cheating.
Paul Finebaum if you want to be the best you have to play the best and put Alabama in saying they were 4th and the 🐐 Goat was Saban! Well your GOAT Fainted!!! Roll Tide-tide is going out sorry! Let Michigan be a lesson for everyone they have overcome so much with humility, perseverance, adversity, staying focused on what’s ahead looking to God to carry you through! You heard no back lashing from the U of M team, coaches, athletic dept. Etc. Maybe their fans and I am one because I believe in protecting my brothers in Christ to protect them! Michigan is teaching everyone how to handle criticism and garbage!
Michigan won the 97’ Championship. It was the COACHES (whom hate Michigan)that put Nebraska ahead of Michigan. The Associated Press put Michigan #1. Do you trust the coaches or writiers? Who is more objective?
Osborne was retiring, so he got a "thanks for everything" vote. Michigan had the toughest schedule in the country that year and deserved to win it outright.
@@grossepointemichigan the thing that really bothered me is that Osborne got the "sympathy vote" in 1994 by not having to play Penn State, and then he wins another title in 1995 --- so why did he need a 3rd title in 1997?
I did not understand why there was so much hype around Awakenbeerus predictions, but now I understand. He was right about this game. God bless him and thank him for the money.
Really Rece. So now the narrative is going to be "Michigan should have handled them easier" ? When everybody picked Bama to win because of how they were playing to end the year. 90% of the betting was placed for Bama. Knock it off
Im so disappointed that I did not listen to Awakenbeerus; predictions, thinking that they were bs. He gave one for free, and it was right. Now I need to pay 10k for the correct score prediction.
I know not everyone can do it, but are there two less likable people to watch? I have never seen him before and he just comes across as an arrogant so and so. I guess The other guy is a bit more watchable but sheesh. 😊
