I-A Game of the Week - WEEK THIRTEEN

[89Hen]

Rivalry week and a couple big ones.

[SuperHornet]

Army at Liberty is the only one of my games that even comes CLOSE to this list. I voted for OSU-Michigan anyway....

[CAA Flagship]

Harbaugh finally beats OH-IO

Harbaugh finally beats OH-IO

That would be something. OSU looks like a well oiled machine on offense right now.

[SDHornet]

Ohio State Michigan. None of the other games are really worth watching in comparison.

Ohio State Michigan. None of the other games are really worth watching in comparison.

Auburn/Alabama is always good, especially when it's at Auburn and you can see 'Bama and Saban lose. And the Oklahoma game is huge for both teams as it regards the playoffs. Sure, OSU/Michigan is the big draw, but the undercards aren't bad at all.

I went with the Iron Bowl. I think Ohio State blows out Michigan so the game won't seem like such a big deal in hindsight. Auburn could beat Alabama and dent their CFP chances even with a win over Georgia. OSU/Oklahoma was #2 for me but I think the Cowboys keep rolling and beat a flawed Oklahoma team.

Well, winning the SEC with a win over Georgia gets 'Bama into the playoffs IMO. There are folks who think they should get in with 2 losses if they get that second loss to Georgia. If they lose to Auburn and then Georgia there's no way a 3 loss 'Bama team gets in at all.

No, he won’t. MSU and OSU are in his head.

I agree.

Things are set up for making Michigan upset more likely. Weather is really nasty. Cold and steady winter mix precipitation...rain mixed with snow and maybe sleet. Not good conditions for a high flying offense. Equalizing weather.

BTW, this kind of weather is one more reason why it'd be interesting to see FBS playoffs similar to FCS playoffs. It'd be interesting to see how the Alabamas and Georgias would do if they ever had to go on the road and play an Ohio State or Michigan in these kinds of conditions.

I thought Ohio State might have problems today and I do think the conditions made it easier to defense the Buckeyes. But never in my wildest dreams did I expect that Michigan would be able to run the ball like that. I mean, Ohio State was just totally helpless against the run today. Michigan really didn't even have to throw the football. Ohio State couldn't stop the run at ALL.

[JohnStOnge]

Bummer. I didn't hear the guys calling the game say anything about it and I haven't heard anybody showing the highlight say it but Alabama's receiver committed obvious offensive interference by shoving the defensive back to get separation on Alabama's tying touchdown to send the game into overtime. You can see part of the moment in the image below where he is shoving the defensive back off with his left arm:



You can also see it on the video at Especially at the end when they zoom in and go slow motion. The receiver shoves the defensive back away with his left arm. Officials missed it.

Happy to be wrong about this one!

The Michigan radio guys are retiring after this season: Jim Brandstatter and Dan “The Mouth” Dierdorf. Collectively, they must be as old as Biden and Trump.
