    Crazy that Michigan was 50/1 odds to win it all AFTER getting to the CFP last year.
    Somehow OSU got all the credit pre-season even after losing to Michigan.

    Letting Michigan run the ball means they will be ahead of the chains and a very manageable 3rd down. OSU sold out to stop the run and got burned when there was no safety help (pass or run). Then they tried to play Michigan normally in the 3rd quarter and gave up an 8 minute drive.

      @@justanaveragedude409 okay Copius Maximus… I’m sure you said the same thing the whole last year after 42-27 and look what happened. OSU was outscored 28-3 in the second half. That’s getting destroyed. How do you know Michigan doesn’t drive the field on the five other times they scored from 45+ yards out? OSU had all year to prepare and Knowles knew he had to sell out to have any chance of stopping the run game. That left OSU susceptible to huge plays and that’s exactly what happened. OSU played scared on defense because they knew they couldn’t stop Michigan’s run game straight up so they loaded the box and paid for it.

    The weak spot is TCU defense. I do think TCU will be able to hit a few big plays early as Michigan will come out in a shell...Michigan allows team to move the ball early and as the game moves forward they slowly start to take away what you thought you had.
    The 2nd half it will be extremely difficult to stop Michigan on the ground. Obviously anything can happen it just rarely does in these playoff games....when there's 4 weeks to prepare I'll take Harbaugh

    Surfing these comments it's apparent Michigan thinks very highly of themselves. You'd think they'd have more humility after the beat down Georgia put on them. This whole psychology of we beat the buckeyes so we can beat everyone.
    There's always a chance you'll blow out the frogs but you really don't have any reason to think that based on this season's performance. Who has blown them out? The suggestion here is that no one in the big 12 is even competitive? Stop that. Just stop it. It's not a good look Michigan fans.
    The frogs are fast and physical. They've beat teams more talented than them. But the x factor is their heart. The heart tcu plays with is a sight to behold and if you aren't taking it seriously you're a fool.
    I think the venue matters in this one. I think it's somewhat of a factor in tcu's favor. I'm getting that 2011 rosebowl vibe.
    I'm going to harken to that. 21-19 frogs over Michigan.

    TCU loves the underdog role. The Frogs hope the Wolverines are looking ahead to play Georgia or Ohio State. If that happens, TCU could pull off the upset.
    Michigan fans need to understand that TCU carries the hopes of the new-look (without UT/OU after 2024) Big XII into Saturday’s playoff game. Those in the new-look Big XII Conference see their conference as good or better than both the B1G and the SEC.

    TCU won 12 games by being just a bit better than their opponents, I don't mean to downplay that because that is not easy to do. they are focused and well coached. They beat Kansas because couldn't make a final play. TCU had 5 wins when the opposing starter was injured and the backup had to come in cold. They beat Baylor on a fire drill FG. Still, I don't think TCU wins as Michigan is obviously far better than we all thought.

    You are wrong - my mind began working right after USC got blown out by Utah for a "Little Sisters of the Poor" game - TCU vs Ohio State playoff game. (If you don't get the reference, search for "TCU 2011 Ohio State Billboard Prank"). Even I wouldn't favor TCU over Michigan, but I think they match up well and would not be surprised if TCU won. I am much less optimistic about Ohio States chances of beating Georgia, but stranger things have happened. For me that would be the magical end to a magical season.

    We have a case of a big fish in a big pond facing a huge fish in a small pond here. The average Big 12 team proved objectively better than the B1G's average in the regular season, but its playoff representative wasn't as dominant.
    It's no secret how lopsided the B1G is, but it can't be understated how bad teams 4-14 are relative to the P5. Their cross-conference record was nearly as poor as the Pac-12's, went 0-2 to weak Big 12 teams, and the only victory of any note was PSU's blowout at Auburn. Michigan had the luxury of bullying its way through a weak conference until they took OSU to the woodshed on the road. That last game consequently gave us a glimpse of Michigan's ceiling when they are most prepared and their playoff roster is relatively healthy.
    The Big 12, on the other hand, is a monster. It is usually a power scaling enigma due to schedule obligations, but this year's data suggests that the Big 12 is the most competitive, possibly strongest conference from top to bottom in college football. Top conference record for 2021 P5 bowls and cross-conference games (7-3) this year, and two of those losses (UT-AL and WV-Pitt) help its relative strength. Hell, its worst team beat a bowl eligible Iowa and basically stopped winning when its conference schedule started. Every single Big 12 team has performed above P5 average and each teams' middling records are a testament to conference balance. I think Penn State would lose 4-5 games in the Big 12, and Michigan/OSU both lose at least 1.
    And then you consider TCU. This team ran the gauntlet and defeated every single "monster of the week", even outplaying Alabama against a common opponent on the same field with fewer handicaps and similar stakes. They finally hit their limit at the end of the most grueling schedule among playoff contenders, but we haven't seen their ceiling when rested and well prepared.
    Michigan is the known quantity here. They have the edge in experience and depth, but I suspect TCU's ceiling is actually higher than Michigan's. I think TCU pulls the upset if they shake off the nerves and play on all cylinders. As Josh said, this is why we play the game.

    Excellent video. I think TCU is a better version of Purdue. Michigan beat Purdue 43 -22. Aidan O'Connell was 32 out of 47 for 366 yards with no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. But Aidan is NOT a running quarterback like Max Duggan. Charlie Jones caught 13 passes for 162 yards. I believe Quentin Johnson is a better receiver than Charlie Jones and will be a challenge for Michigan. Quentin Johnson is 6-4 and has very good speed.
    Texas had 5 sacks against TCU and put pressure on Max Duggan. Texas held TCU to 124 rushing yards and 159 passing yards and 17 points. I believe that a good defensive rush combined with a strong defensive secondary will be the key to the game for Michigan. Michigan will also need a strong red zone defense to hold TCU to field goals. And JJ is going to have to perform well against a good TCU defensive secondary. TCU is going to try to stop the run. Texas had only 28 yards against TCU.
