Game Thread: TCU vs Georgia

Michigan had a great defense and what happened to them. Offense is the key way for teams like TCU and others frankly to beat a team like UGA. Saban himself said it, for TCU to win they had to score 40 plus. UGA’s offense is also more diverse than Michigan’s. It’s also offense that put UGA in this game to begin with because without it they would have lost to OSU.

You know the big difference between Michigan and UGA imo is something I’ve mentioned in one of these threads before. The SEC has gone more offense oriented so these more open offenses aren’t unfamiliar to them as compared to Michigan who for the most part really only sees it with OSU and to a lesser extent Purdue and maybe Maryland. So it’s not foreign to them. Miss St and Arkansas run a sort of 3-3-5/3-2-6 defense too so that’s not completely unfamiliar to them too.
Michigans Offense gave up 14 pts for starters. They also shot themselves in the foot twice on the goal line. That’s a 28 pt swing. Michigan beat Michigan.

But agree Georgia is great on both sides of the ball. It just so happens their Defense is shutting down an Offense that we all called great a week ago.

4 is plenty....i could only imagine the ratings drop for this game after halftime


Some years there is more than one good team
This year isn't one of them
If Ohio St didn't have a crappy secondary we might not be be sitting through this slop

They gave up 14 and TCU scored 37 which is nothing to sneeze at.

Why is it only viewed as Michigan shoots themselves in the foot and not TCU made plays on defense against an offense that was generally one dimensional most of the year. If Michigan’s offense was more diverse and comfortable both passing and running all year maybe they don’t make those mistakes. UGA’s offense is versatile and you see they use tempo too unlike Michigan and make TCU play on their heels defensively.
 
What a great game. Let's expand to 12 and get more games like this. LOL!
Most people thought the semis were going to be blowouts too with Michigan easily beating TCU and UGA easily beating OSU. Instead we got the two best semis we’ve ever gotten in the CFP era.

Not all playoff matchups will be such big mismatches. Some will be and some won’t be. You’ll get good games and bad ones. The same teams may end up winning it all but that’s not the point. The point is to give more opportunity to more schools and allow them to move up the ladder and improve themselves and their profiles when they’re able to get into the playoffs, especially if they can do it multiple times.
 
Is this the same TCU offensive line that played last week? they look like a JV team...

Should have been Ohio State vs Michigan... such a missed opportunity

GA only beat OSU 42-41

I didn't see Michigan vs TCU but assumed they must be good
Ohio St could wipe the floor with TCU (that is if OSUs DBs didn't trip over their own feet lol)

I think TCU coaches did not have their team prepared for what they might see
TCU looked lost early and GA punched them in the mouth
When a football team gets blasted hard early they can often just wilt (see RU vs UConn 2011).
 
just like high school... 5 mins left in 3rd. quater, up by 40,ish time for the Assistant Coaches to tell the third stringers to get loose and play the final 2 quarters so they can earn their varsity jackets...Seniors start planning for the party.

And people still believe a 12 team playoff is a good idea!
Not me. Simply not enough competition. The only way this changes in any meaningful way is to reduce scholarships from 85 to maybe 55-60, so that the talent is spread out much more and not concentrated among the top teams. Will also help with Title IX challenges. NFL-style revenue sharing would also help eliminate the rich vs. the poor disparity, especially in the NIL world we live in now. But not holding my breath on either of these changes.

This game is a wreck.

Knocking the scholarships down to 55-60 would be attacked on a different rich vs. poor basis.

Or (never gonna happen), top 100 or 200 recruits go to the bottom teams in P5 conferences; make it like the NFL draft where worst teams get pick of best players.

I'm prepared to be laughed out of the room and berated.

Why would you want revenue sharing?
We are in the 1% with Big Ten conference revenue distribution.

We lose money with further revenue sharing in CFB.
Schools like Syracuse and Temple would get extra money.

Note - completely agree that sharing of media revenue is the true silver bullet to a more competitive CFB landscape. Even if just among the P5 conferences.
