I just don't see Michigan keeping pace with Alabama. The other game I see as likely closer but I expect Texas to prevail.
Alabama's QB has made great improvement this year but I still look for Texas to beat 'Bama for the title.

I hope I am wrong because, while I am not a fan of Alabama, I am REALLY not a fan of Texas.

Texas reminds me of that old saying; "I'd like to buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth."

Michigan has NEVER played in a National Championship Game before in Football and they never will. HA!

You were so smart you posted it twice (see below). LOL

As a widowed father, I took all 3 of my kids to The Game. Flew from Austin to Ann Arbor.

I just don’t see Michigan’s Offense being able to move the ball on Alabama’s Defense with the run game. HA HA!
I also see Texas ripping through Washington’s Defense and Texas is strong in the trenches.

I am just tired of watching my Alma Mater come up short every season. HA HA HA!

2002 and 2014 were the ONLY two times in my lifetime.

Washington just doesn’t have the defense to contain Texas.

Michigan just isn’t built to play for a National Championship in Football. Right, all of those sacks were flukes
NEVER say NEVER. Hard to find a rational Buckeye when it comes to commenting on Michigan, your hatred betrays you. I'll pour one out for you.

So, current and future Big Ten over the current and future SEC eh?

Speaking as a Washington fan, why do we have to make it so hard every game?

I was hoping it would be Michigan vs Washington.


Want Michigan to win but Washington seems to be the better team from what I saw tonight.


That Michigan/Alabama game, seemed like two teams playing at 80%. I dunno, both Michigan and Alabama seemed a little gassed out. The Wash./Tex game still had two teams shoving coal into the fire.

I know two long snappers that had to have a big sigh of relief with the outcomes of the games. The Michigan snapper who rolled it back on the extra point try and the Washington one who ran into the Texas punt receiver near the end of the game.

Last play... That Texas receiver had the front pylon corner of the end zone wide open if he would have read the DB position and broke off the route - and the QB was on the same page with a back shoulder throw. He will learn that in the NFL.
