It might sound biased coming from me, a Michigan fan, but I have come to terms with teams like OSU and Bama always getting the leg up. Teams like ours have to struggle and bust ass to get whatever we get. But there is always a way to get certain schools into the CFP.
C'mon....it goes back earlier than that. Remember 2001 when Nebraska back doored into the BCS championship game?Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 12:54 pmIt might sound biased coming from me, a Michigan fan, but I have come to terms with teams like OSU and Bama always getting the leg up.

With the exception of this year and next, Michigan has had at least one legit OOC game pretty much every year. Starting in 2024, they play Texas or Oklahoma for 4 consecutive years. In 18 and 19, they played ND. In 21, they played Washington and had been scheduled to play Washington in 20 as well.Honeyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 1:15 pmC'mon....it goes back earlier than that.

And the 12 team playoff really won't help. Michigan, Alabama, and many others already play nobody in non-conference. That will change even less when they know they can get in the playoff at 10-2.
Yeah, but they dropped UCLA this year and next year. And the 2024 schedule is very much in doubt now with the new BIG16.Matt wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 1:38 pmWith the exception of this year and next, Michigan has had at least one legit OOC game pretty much every year.

I was mainly responding to Michigan being lumped with Alabama, who played Austin Peay in NOVEMBER. It's weird to me that there are fans of a conference. It might have something to do with the inbred people in that part of the country. The SEC chant is beyond douchey. It will be interesting when warm weather schools have to come up north in the expanded playoff...Honeyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 1:47 pmYwah, but they dropped UCLA this year and next year.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I wasn't blasting Michigan, but just the overall problem with college football as a whole.
I had reason to be nervous the moment I read that Purdue would be the opponent. (I, admittedly, hadn't been following the other division that closely.) As I recall, there are three teams with notorious reputations for playing SpOiLeR1!1! against teams that are aiming for all the marbles: Iowa, Northwestern, and Purdue.
