I thought TCU played a very good game. However I had heard the Michigan OL was one of the best, if not the best, this year in college football. They looked awful. TCU’s line looked much better. SMU’s OL looked much better when we played TCU. I’m just baffled about what I saw from Michigan.

Also heard how UM will out physical them. TCu was bigger, faster, stronger, more physical.

Very impressive season. Love how so many Big 10 fans thought UM would push them around.

TCU out fanned UM too. Was way louder for TCU. Lots of friends and family at the game, and they said it was legit 1/2 TCU.

I looked at Michigan’s schedule and it was a joke with the exception of their final game against OSU away. They played 8 games at home and I believe prepared the full season for their match up against the buckeyes. They were exposed. The true national championship game should be the one on TV now.

TCU's strength of schedule was stronger than both Ohio St. and Michigan's this year.

Louisville vs Phi Slamma Jamma...semi finals of the NCAA tourney back in the day....same thing was said...and then came State

I believe Georgia woke up. They realized they were mortal, and faced a minor version of the quick-strike and speed attack that TC-Who has used to perfection this year. The Frogs will score Monday-week...but not enough. Duggan will get mugged. The Frogs will stymie Georgia's ground game in the same way they did Michigan's rushing attack. But Georgia has a good enough defense to force Duggan to run, and he isn't Stroud.

A slow, choking victory for Georgia by 17.

Both TCUs offensive and defensive lines owned Michigan. A job well done and I’m jealous.

Georgia woke up aka got real lucky... getting a timeout in the middle of a successful OSU fake punt followed by a DB-falling-down long Georgia TD, half the OSU stars being hurt, etc.

Georgia will probably beat TCU but if they don't it will be amazingly incredible. "So SMU, you beat TCU in '21 then half your staff goes to TCU and they win the national title immediately? What's up with that?"

I'm actually pulling for TCU to pull off the Cinderella season and to beat Georgia. I'm trying to get past my jealousy because if TCU can beat defending champion Georgia from the big bad SEC, it tells me that SMU is not that far off from being able to compete with the big boys of college football. As much as I was disappointed with Sonny's leaving, I just keep thinking about what he said about his having taken SMU as far as he could. More than anything that we've suffered through in the past, TCU's winning a national championship would hopefully be a huge wake up call for our administration and a motivating factor for our big money donors
