Michigan had 5 sacks and held them to to under 100 yards in the first half. Had it not been for special teams blunders, Michigan would have won easily.
I don't want to hear a word from Stephen A. Smith or any of these talking heads who picked Alabama, the underdog, to beat one of the best college football teams ever assembled. Anyone who bet on Bama deserved to lose money. Put Lee Corso on.
I don't know if "easily" is the proper descriptor when taking on Alabama. TEXAS beat Bama by double digits and I still don't think I'd use the word "easily"
Agreed. I’m pissed I had Michigan winning 37-27. If Michigan doesn’t embrace the ball is lava for an offensive mentality the 1st quarter and I nailed it!!!
They aren’t eating anything….they are all saying Bama lost it not that Michigan won it. If Bama played bad it’s because Michigan forced them to pay bad
@@michaelcso2400no matter how y’all wanna put it they’re eating their words regardless 🫤 everyone is …. Everyone called us cheaters and said we can’t win in the playoffs or beat SEC teams and said we didn’t have a strong schedule 🫤 etc …. We are 14-0 in a season where we can honestly say “against all odds “ we found a way after not having our coach for 6 games and everything we found a way to make everyone cry …. Everyone was laughing saying we was scared of bama … laughed then and cried later
I am by no means a Michigan fan, however this performance is exactly what this team has been all season. Sheer will and sound fundamentals..they showed this against my team at State College and against Ohio State.
So glad I listen to real college football analysts like Joel Klat, Josh Pate, and Greg McEleroy most of the time they actually know how to analyze the game and talk about both sides this segment is 90% about the losing team.
They can’t fathom having their favourite team lose to their least favorite team. Not when they lost the Big10 rights to Fox’s garbage “big noon afternoon noontime showdown”.
You’re missing the concept of the segment.. When you dominate not only your conference but the entirety of college football as well as the natty for soo many years and it finally comes to an end or that gold train is clearly slowing down? It becomes a main focus point and topic.. It has to.. A legendary era coming to an end or ending as well as a legendary coach finally being struck down and it being nick saban? No coach in college has won their conference or the natty as many times as he has nor has dominated in the fashion that nick saban and Alabama has and did and I’m by far the furthest thing from being a fan of Alabama but nick and Alabama are a spectacle for sure and we probably won’t see another coach like him in college football nor a program and team that dominated in the way they did and how they did for so long.
@@mavswrld And Georgia lost to them 🤣 So what does that say about Georgia? And don’t bring up the fact that Georgia dealt with injuries because Michigan also dealt with injuries and still beat Bama
Michigan deserves credit but the SEC was down this year - Bama and Georgia lost to all the good teams they played this year (UGA to Bama and Bama to Texas/Michigan)...
Michigan definitely win this game . From being down 7 to force ot and to cash in on the first possession. Secondly Michigan defense lock them down when they absolutely needed to. Go Blue all day
Kinda getting tired of Stephen A being a hypocrite. Coming from someone who said Michigan DOESNT DESERVE to be in the championship game because of the scandal surrounding them. Now… now… he wants to say they’re a special team? As a Wolverines fan I’m not tolerating this. We winning the national championship because if we can’t have it nobody else can.
Literally the only reason bama was in the game was because Michigan had multiple uncharacteristic special teams mistakes. Michigan was the better team yesterday and it really wasn't that close.
By Josiah Stewart! Who is the “undersized” transfer edge standout from Coastal Carolina!!!! All year all I heard about Stewart was don’t judge him by his size he’s a beast. Well case in point he sent that Bama tackle looking for his lunch.
@@eriktyson7696 - I don’t know. If it was a good snap, the left side was completely there. DE over-penetrated and there was a gaping hole. Yes: the guard got blown up and the tackle was losing, but there was a crease right away that Milroe MIGHT have been able to hit had the snap been right. It was not supposed to go up the middle at all: it was designed to go to the left (hence the pull to that side). As a Michigan fan I’m glad it got blown up, but a as a fan of the game, I’d have loved to see that play with a good snap. Outcome may have been the same, but it wasn’t a dead play in the same way.
@cimirie01 I not a fan of either, but I'd like to see them win this year. I wouldn't say there was a gapping hole. It looks like he was playing the option. Due to the low snap, Milroy didn't even have time to consider the RB. Its was the MLBs job to cover Milroy. He cut inside instead of outside after seeing Milroy staying inside. Had the snap not been low, there was a chance, but it still wouldn't have been an easy walk-in.
Stephen A didn’t watch the game. If anything Michigan almost blew the game. They outplayed Bama, especially on the front, all game but tried to give it away all game. Michigan was able to pull it out in the end. Great game

Not taking anything away... michigan looked rusty and uncharacteristically bad on special teams and still beat Bama. Michigan wins this game by 3 scores if they were playing like they have all season. Michigan dominated, dominated the line of scrimmage... weird to see Finebaum with the most objective take in this segment.
Texas deserved too get in. Had the best win of the year beating Bama on the road at night by double digits. Also they lost too their arch rivals in the last minute in a back and forth game!!!

what was so awesome is two great coaches went back and forth, outside of the special teams miscues harbaugh out coached saban in the first half and then the adjustments he made in the second half to out coach harbaugh until the final drive and OT when harbaugh figured him out again
You could say the same thing about Michigan that they didn’t adjust until the very end. They got to 13 and did absolutely nothing again until the final drive of regulation. A lot of it was due to them messing up rather than Alabama playing great defense. Michigan was clearly the better team and it wasn’t only close if Michigan didn’t have a horror show on special teams.
Facts the disrespect to Michael Penix Jr He is the best QB in college But he's gonna be the 3rd 4th QB drafted Unbelievable He's undefeated He beat USC Oregon Oregon St Like he is a dominant player Leftie Stands in the pocket n throws darts The disrespect Id love him on my team
yeah, you'd think after all the winning the Huskies have done the last two years - UW owns the nation's longest winning streak including beating Oregon 3x (@Autzen, @home, @Vegas) and Texas twice in essentially road games - they'd get a little love from ESECPN talking heads...
@@GoatedAtNFS Alabama vs Michigan sucked for 3 quarters. One decent quarter doesn't make up for a dogshit game by a team that had no business being there.
Michigan made mistakes! Had they not made them they would have thoroughly dominated Bama! They were clearly the better team. UM has history of beating Bama for all the marbles. So, let’s please not act as if it has not happened before.
@@MichaelSmith-xb5cp like I said EVERYONE should recognize that the series is not a domination, and that we can get at them! UM ain't no easy win cleats!
You definitely didn't want that smoke, especially after they lost to Bama. I would agree with you if they had beaten Bama. But Georgia would have came to Pasadena drawing blood had they gotten a chance to play in a playoff game after losing.
Did these guys watch the game..? Michigan special teams was trying to give the game away and won but they’re saying Alabama lost the game lol.. ESPN can never just give Michigan their props straight up.
If anyone says "Alabama lost it" didn't see how Michigan DOMINATED the LOS on both sides, and how Harbaugh, Moore and Minter flat out outclassed Saban & Co, especially with that 4th and 2 call. If it wasn't for the constant mistakes on special teams, Michigan would have easily won this without any overtime needed.
I understand that ESPN has a contract with the SEC (I am a UF Gator fan Go Gators! 🐊) however the analyst aren’t giving Michigan their respect. They beat Bama and I doubted Michigan and I was wrong.
This panel is the last one you should watch or listen to when it comes to football. Them pointing out Bama needs more 1st round pick players to win vs Michigan’s mid level players said it all. That said, PF forcing a smile and lol for the cameras is unhinged
"you had the lead... Alabama blew the lead then there is no overtime" good analysis. You have to play the full 60minutes and whatever happens, it's part of the game. Low snap this, if they had done that.... whah whah whah. Michigan made mistakes all game too. I don't hear the excuses the pundits are making for Michigan. Michigan should have won the game by 3rd quarter if they didn't have such a poor Special teams game. ALABAMA didn't lose the game, Michigan took it from them. Eat it ESPN.
Let's be real. Paul Finbebaum is the reason Bama was in it. He was on First Take lobbying to the sports media that if Bama wins the sec championship that they deserved to be in playoffs which was clearly a big mistake. Georgia should have been #4
no, FSU should have got the last spot - UGA lost to the worst Bama team in years - same Bama team that lost by double digits to Texas and got pushed around by Michigan...both SEC powers were down THIS year and neither belonged in the playoffs...
Everyone is saying there is no dominate team. There is no team that is over the top. But we beat a decent Maryland team. #7 Penn State #3 OSU #4 Alabama and #2 Washington....We are the bully. We sent 18 dudes to the combine. We were the deepest and most consistent team, AND we beat the PSU on the road without our head coach...and did it without him two weeks later against our arch rival....
They’ll never give Michigan the credit they deserve. Did alabama lose it ?? If you watched the game Michigan was CLEARLY better. They were bigger, faster, and stronger what everyone said wasn’t the case. AND if Michigan did not mess up on special teams like they did they would of beat them by 2 touchdowns.. the score was closer than the game itself they got BULLIED ‼️
I hear all the excuses for why Alabama lost, and certainly the snaps were bad. But no one mentioned how horrible special teams were for Michigan. I’ve never seen a worse special teams performance. Those were costly errors. The fumbled flea flicker, the third quarter there were dropped wide open passes and poorly placed throws which are uncharacteristic mistakes by Michigan. Michigan never had good field position because of it. This was a weird feeling game, it felt like a 6 point lead for Michigan in the first half was a 17-21 point lead, in most of the second half it felt like Alabama had scored 20 points. The score didn’t reflect it. All time classic in the greatest place in all of sports.
As Penn State die hard fan. Much respect to the members of the " big house". Congrats to you all. Hmmmm , " they dont respect" the big 10. I was waiting to hear that Yeah all about the SEC right..lol
Michigan was the far better team in the first half and had some bad mistakes. Then Bama had the mistakes in the second half. It was a good game and the better team won
They say that they don’t want to take anything from Michigan but blame Alabama for not securing the win they should have had. That is crazy. Michigan was the best team.
Reminder: just because Michigan won doesn’t mean they automatically get to advance. If Kirk Herbstreit and his dog Ben feel like Alabama would be better TV they can still put the Tide in the championship game.
🤔With the out comes. Georgia should’ve gotten a chance to three peat and FSU should’ve gotten in period! Because no team ended up in the title game that were put in 😂
I also have to say I come back to this video multiple times- Because I so enjoy watching all the excuses drummed up for "Alabama losing it." Lol. It tickles my fancy. I appreciate Stephen A's last comment of " the Center was nervous cause Michigan was coming" and thats on my Front Four. Please and Thank you #GOBLUE
Bamas play calling was really bad on their last drive. They were gashing michigan with the run all night and had 1:30 left on the clock in the 4th. Ran 3 passes and went 3 and out, took no time off the clock. They could’ve ran took time off and likely moved the ball into field goal range.
@@gnar7003 milroe fumbled earlier that quarter and michigan didn’t score off it at all. They were averaging 4-5 yards per carry and didnt run once on that last drive. Thry needed one first and Michigan would start burning timeouts. Instead they took like 20 secs off lol. Gave michigan the ball back for the win or OT.
@@itsmarkwtf the only yards bama were picking up were through the run lol. Literally all of it. Was the only way they could get in the endzone. Michigan was the better team ofc im just saying bama couldve stole it in the end with better play calling
I love the "this wasn't a typical Bama roster." They downplayed Michigan's big win with just 2 5 stars compared to bama's 18 5 stars lol. Not only that, this was bamas highest rated composite roster in its history....
all i’m gonna say is this: if any other coach in the country was the head coach of the Crimson Tide, they would’ve had 2-4 losses on the season with this current roster
None of the correspondents are talking about UGA today, bc we all know Georgia was a top 4 team. Even with the SEC Championship game loss. They should of left out BAMA in my opinion
Michigan was a better team that overcame a brunch of special teams issues. Which none of the media didn’t even mention much at all or at all. Georgia should have been a 3 or 4 seed. Beating FSU by 60 proved that. Alabama was trash vs usf and auburn and the powers at be do everything possible to get them in the final four.
It makes sense what you’re saying but FSU lost by 60 in a head to head matchup vs Georgia. If I was on FSU I would be working as hard as possible to prove people wrong if I felt left out instead they on a vacation to Miami and lost by 60!
I know these guys don’t want to bash Milroe, which I respect, but stop talking about how he’s so young! He was the older starting quarterback in this game! If Milroe is so young then why not give the even younger JJ McCarthy credit for making big plays when Michigan absolutely needed it.
UGA and Bama were both overrated this year - UGA lost to the worst Bama team in years who lost @home to Texas by double digits and got mauled by Michigan in the Rose bowl...the SEC didn't produce a top 4 team this year; FSU should have got in...
Great games as an Alabama fan shout out to Michigan but coaching lost this game for Bama similar as the Texas game…. We got beat by a TE stunt and blitz combo and simply leaving the flat unaccounted for. Which are simple fixes but no adjustments as well as the scheme trying to make Milroe a pocket passing QB
nah, both semi-final games were won by the better team - both scores didn't indicate how much better Michigan and Washington were compared to their opponents...set's up a great NCG between two undefeated conference champions...
@@musicbyTaraRose Michigan wasn’t better than Alabama 💯they honestly were evenly matched just coaching favored Michigan and they deserved to win due to adjustments
What’s funny is I said around the time that Harbaugh got that 3-game suspension that Michigan was going to probably rally and win the title. And I said this as an OSU fan who was hoping to get revenge this year. Yeah, they’re going to win.
@user-rr3fo6hy9q Lol. Get out your emotions. As I stated, I’m an OHIO STATE fan. It’s not like I’m emotionally inclined to root for UM. It’s just what I believe. What’s funny about your rabid fan response is that if Washington won I wouldn’t mind and would probably be like “Good for y’all.” So chill out and take yo bs somewhere else.
Paul Finebaum can't wait for this college year to be over fast enough. His pain shows every time he has to give Michigan credit.
He is a SEC meat gobbler 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
He’s a SEC homer. Isn’t happy unless a SEC team is in and competing. That’s why it’s hard to respect him.

He is the best QB in college
But he's gonna be the 3rd 4th QB drafted
Unbelievable
He's undefeated
He beat USC
Oregon
Oregon St
Like he is a dominant player
Leftie
Stands in the pocket n throws darts
The disrespect
Id love him on my team
yeah, you'd think after all the winning the Huskies have done the last two years - UW owns the nation's longest winning streak including beating Oregon 3x (@Autzen, @home, @Vegas) and Texas twice in essentially road games - they'd get a little love from ESECPN talking heads...
Thank goodness for Paul for calling it like it is, Michigan is the real deal. They were clearly the better team.
ESPN is in shambles right now! Give Michigan their props, the won fair and square!
Usually, it's mostly Alabama be playing bully defense. Michigan made it even by playing bully defense against them.
It’s a shame that people speak as though this was an oddity. Michigan has the highest ranked Defense in the country
@@michaelcso2400with NFL coaching
The two college football playoff games were absolute cinema. committee nailed it on the picks this year
No they didn't and you're pathetic that you care for your own selfish entertainment than what SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
Shame on you.
😂
texas vs washington wasn’t that good, that was a defenseless shootout
@@GoatedAtNFS Alabama vs Michigan sucked for 3 quarters. One decent quarter doesn't make up for a dogshit game by a team that had no business being there.
@@cptepic5664no it didn’t suck 😂 haven’t heard one person say that , maybe to you
Michigan special teams gave Alabama 11 points and Bama still couldn’t close the deal. Go blue!!
@user-rr3fo6hy9q Both UGA and Bama were down by their standards...neither belonged in the CFB playoffs...
@user-rr3fo6hy9q haha. UW is not far and away the best team. 10 straight games decided by single digits.
Michigan made mistakes! Had they not made them they would have thoroughly dominated Bama! They were clearly the better team. UM has history of beating Bama for all the marbles. So, let’s please not act as if it has not happened before.
Exactly
UM 3-3 vs Bama, not historically better or worse. They play 3 times in last 20 years and lost twice, once with the current coach.
@@MichaelSmith-xb5cp like I said EVERYONE should recognize that the series is not a domination, and that we can get at them! UM ain't no easy win cleats!
Pete Thamel cried all night 😂😂😂😂
Did Michigan win it or did bama lose it?
Michigan's special teams were literally trying to give bama the win
Michigan won it they made plays when it mattered the most.
@@JoseGonzalez-zg8pltook 2 plays on offense to score😂 go blue
As a Michigan fan i had hoped we'd play georgia for all the marbles but beating saban was really special. Go blue!
You definitely didn't want that smoke, especially after they lost to Bama. I would agree with you if they had beaten Bama. But Georgia would have came to Pasadena drawing blood had they gotten a chance to play in a playoff game after losing.
Why does Stephen A sound so frustrated that Alabama lost?
Because he's a Bama fan🤷🏽♂️
He's a loser
Did these guys watch the game..? Michigan special teams was trying to give the game away and won but they’re saying Alabama lost the game lol.. ESPN can never just give Michigan their props straight up.
Michigan may be a special team, but ironically their special teams is the biggest hindrance
Just in this game. Trust me. That won’t happen again.
Ironically they had one of the best special teams going into this game.
Yeah this was surprising must've been jitters.
Say it with me Paul, “Go Blue”.😂
If anyone says "Alabama lost it" didn't see how Michigan DOMINATED the LOS on both sides, and how Harbaugh, Moore and Minter flat out outclassed Saban & Co, especially with that 4th and 2 call. If it wasn't for the constant mistakes on special teams, Michigan would have easily won this without any overtime needed.
I understand that ESPN has a contract with the SEC (I am a UF Gator fan Go Gators! 🐊) however the analyst aren’t giving Michigan their respect. They beat Bama and I doubted Michigan and I was wrong.
I haven’t seen one video covering Washington give them their credit!
I’ve noticed the changes of Nick and Paul. They understand that Michigan has morphed into a extremely strong team.
FAFO. Michigan Defense is freak nasty! GO BLUE! 💙〽️🏈🇺🇸
This panel is the last one you should watch or listen to when it comes to football. Them pointing out Bama needs more 1st round pick players to win vs Michigan’s mid level players said it all. That said, PF forcing a smile and lol for the cameras is unhinged
"you had the lead... Alabama blew the lead then there is no overtime"
good analysis. You have to play the full 60minutes and whatever happens, it's part of the game.
Low snap this, if they had done that.... whah whah whah.
Michigan made mistakes all game too. I don't hear the excuses the pundits are making for Michigan. Michigan should have won the game by 3rd quarter if they didn't have such a poor Special teams game.
ALABAMA didn't lose the game, Michigan took it from them. Eat it ESPN.
Period! Plain and Simple!
Without unforced errors by Michigan Alabama gets blown out.
Let's be real. Paul Finbebaum is the reason Bama was in it. He was on First Take lobbying to the sports media that if Bama wins the sec championship that they deserved to be in playoffs which was clearly a big mistake. Georgia should have been #4
no, FSU should have got the last spot - UGA lost to the worst Bama team in years - same Bama team that lost by double digits to Texas and got pushed around by Michigan...both SEC powers were down THIS year and neither belonged in the playoffs...
Stephen A ' we talking bout a centreeeee, ' 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅
Thank you Paul , Michigan was def the better team lol
Everyone is saying there is no dominate team. There is no team that is over the top. But we beat a decent Maryland team. #7 Penn State #3 OSU #4 Alabama and #2 Washington....We are the bully. We sent 18 dudes to the combine. We were the deepest and most consistent team, AND we beat the PSU on the road without our head coach...and did it without him two weeks later against our arch rival....
Both teams were messing up badly like number 26 with that 1 yard punt return , almost costed us the game
They straight disrespecting Milroe by calling him
mealray 😂😂
They’ll never give Michigan the credit they deserve. Did alabama lose it ?? If you watched the game Michigan was CLEARLY better. They were bigger, faster, and stronger what everyone said wasn’t the case. AND if Michigan did not mess up on special teams like they did they would of beat them by 2 touchdowns.. the score was closer than the game itself they got BULLIED ‼️
Shannon needs to get his own show. Jeff bests give this man his own show.
I hear all the excuses for why Alabama lost, and certainly the snaps were bad. But no one mentioned how horrible special teams were for Michigan. I’ve never seen a worse special teams performance. Those were costly errors. The fumbled flea flicker, the third quarter there were dropped wide open passes and poorly placed throws which are uncharacteristic mistakes by Michigan. Michigan never had good field position because of it. This was a weird feeling game, it felt like a 6 point lead for Michigan in the first half was a 17-21 point lead, in most of the second half it felt like Alabama had scored 20 points. The score didn’t reflect it. All time classic in the greatest place in all of sports.
I'm just glad the committee went with Texas over Florida State. We saw two really good games yesterday with the final four.
And they lost, so there’s that😂
No don't say that was a good game to these fans. Nevermind Bama had a chance in the end, Michigan really should have won 75-zip.
The Alabama glaze is real
As Penn State die hard fan. Much respect to the members of the " big house". Congrats to you all.
Hmmmm , " they dont respect" the big 10. I was waiting to hear that Yeah all about the SEC right..lol
Michigan was the far better team in the first half and had some bad mistakes. Then Bama had the mistakes in the second half. It was a good game and the better team won
They say that they don’t want to take anything from Michigan but blame Alabama for not securing the win they should have had. That is crazy. Michigan was the best team.
Reminder: just because Michigan won doesn’t mean they automatically get to advance. If Kirk Herbstreit and his dog Ben feel like Alabama would be better TV they can still put the Tide in the championship game.
😂😂
Yah cause Florida state deserved to be there 😂
😭😭😭
Still so salty bro lmao didn’t the team that got “robbed” get blown out by 60 points
@@Bobbleheads56That team also had 20+ opt outs and transfers so it wasn’t the same team
Amazing show
Stephen A in shambles. Bama lost and The Cowboys are a win away from the NFC East crown
Stephen A doesn’t watch college football. He’s paid to talk like he does.
I don't know about the Cowboys, cause he barely cares about trolling them anymore. He is more in shambles about Bama squeaking in and losing.
Go Dawgs!
🤔With the out comes. Georgia should’ve gotten a chance to three peat and FSU should’ve gotten in period! Because no team ended up in the title game that were put in 😂
But they're not going to talk about that. They were hoping Alabama would have won to justify them jumping FSU.
@@jeffbryant926 I agree
I like it when Shannon is in studio.
It shows how good Ohio state was this year
How?
Maybe it was the "same routes" but these were also new routes that no one had seen before and Saban and Alabama were ultimately not ready for. #GOBLUE
I also have to say I come back to this video multiple times- Because I so enjoy watching all the excuses drummed up for "Alabama losing it." Lol. It tickles my fancy. I appreciate Stephen A's last comment of " the Center was nervous cause Michigan was coming" and thats on my Front Four. Please and Thank you #GOBLUE
Bamas play calling was really bad on their last drive. They were gashing michigan with the run all night and had 1:30 left on the clock in the 4th. Ran 3 passes and went 3 and out, took no time off the clock. They could’ve ran took time off and likely moved the ball into field goal range.
You forgot when they ran the ball and fumbled.
@@gnar7003 milroe fumbled earlier that quarter and michigan didn’t score off it at all. They were averaging 4-5 yards per carry and didnt run once on that last drive. Thry needed one first and Michigan would start burning timeouts. Instead they took like 20 secs off lol. Gave michigan the ball back for the win or OT.
Michigan was just better!!
Bout a quarter or so means all night?
@@itsmarkwtf the only yards bama were picking up were through the run lol. Literally all of it. Was the only way they could get in the endzone. Michigan was the better team ofc im just saying bama couldve stole it in the end with better play calling
I love the "this wasn't a typical Bama roster." They downplayed Michigan's big win with just 2 5 stars compared to bama's 18 5 stars lol. Not only that, this was bamas highest rated composite roster in its history....
The excuses…..smh y’all wanted Alabama in the playoffs now you’re saying they’re missing players!! STOP
They are complete this year. No cheating. They just been dominating. Defense and oline is physical too
all i’m gonna say is this: if any other coach in the country was the head coach of the Crimson Tide, they would’ve had 2-4 losses on the season with this current roster
Ok….
They do have 2 losses on the season? Beyond that I'll just say these kinds of hypotheticals are completely unknowable.
Are we gonna pretend Steven A. just said that Alabama had the lead at halftime lol.. . 😅😂
Alabama invitational huh? 🤣
Nice review guys. I enjoyed the frank talk.
That must have broke Finebaums heart that bama lost.
It was hilarious to hear him bring up Missouri and Ole Miss when they had nothing to do with this game.
None of the correspondents are talking about UGA today, bc we all know Georgia was a top 4 team. Even with the SEC Championship game loss. They should of left out BAMA in my opinion
Paul hates Harbaugh so much I know he cried
It's not that serious.
Remember all those people saying Michigan was scared when it was announced that they would be playing Alabama. They didn't look too scared.
Michigan was a better team that overcame a brunch of special teams issues. Which none of the media didn’t even mention much at all or at all. Georgia should have been a 3 or 4 seed. Beating FSU by 60 proved that. Alabama was trash vs usf and auburn and the powers at be do everything possible to get them in the final four.
It makes sense what you’re saying but FSU lost by 60 in a head to head matchup vs Georgia. If I was on FSU I would be working as hard as possible to prove people wrong if I felt left out instead they on a vacation to Miami and lost by 60!
I know these guys don’t want to bash Milroe, which I respect, but stop talking about how he’s so young!
He was the older starting quarterback in this game! If Milroe is so young then why not give the even younger JJ McCarthy credit for making big plays when Michigan absolutely needed it.
Bulldogs should have been in! One bad game determined them to be out but Georgia would won a third chip. That’s my opinion though
Lay down the pipe
Ga is trash for losing to da horrible Alabama team
UGA and Bama were both overrated this year - UGA lost to the worst Bama team in years who lost @home to Texas by double digits and got mauled by Michigan in the Rose bowl...the SEC didn't produce a top 4 team this year; FSU should have got in...
He had protection all year. Let’s give Michigan their props. D was awesome! If they played again Bama would still take an L.
Can creepy Paul go away already.
SAS : they were all over him
Guy in the Middle : Giggles 😂
Great games as an Alabama fan shout out to Michigan but coaching lost this game for Bama similar as the Texas game…. We got beat by a TE stunt and blitz combo and simply leaving the flat unaccounted for. Which are simple fixes but no adjustments as well as the scheme trying to make Milroe a pocket passing QB
nah, both semi-final games were won by the better team - both scores didn't indicate how much better Michigan and Washington were compared to their opponents...set's up a great NCG between two undefeated conference champions...
@@musicbyTaraRose Michigan wasn’t better than Alabama 💯they honestly were evenly matched just coaching favored Michigan and they deserved to win due to adjustments
What’s funny is I said around the time that Harbaugh got that 3-game suspension that Michigan was going to probably rally and win the title. And I said this as an OSU fan who was hoping to get revenge this year. Yeah, they’re going to win.
@user-rr3fo6hy9q Lol. Get out your emotions. As I stated, I’m an OHIO STATE fan. It’s not like I’m emotionally inclined to root for UM. It’s just what I believe. What’s funny about your rabid fan response is that if Washington won I wouldn’t mind and would probably be like “Good for y’all.” So chill out and take yo bs somewhere else.
