Now that the NC GM is what I predicted - UofM vs WASH here's my prediction

[filmcane]

It's going to be a phernomenal game!! I predict it will go back and forth, HOWEVER, Meeechigan will win the title. They will own the trenches, but Penix and those receivers will keep bringing them back in. Too much OL and running game from Meechigan and the #1 D will salt this away for the Maize and Blue.

On a related note - SOOOOOOO happy no SEC teams (either current or future) will play in the NC GM!!!

Great night!!!

We should just stay in the ACC. We don’t stand a chance against the B1G juggernauts like Michigan, Washington, or Rutgers.

I am just confused as to how a second year coach is in title, takes at least 6 years to get his players to turn a team around

Not only that - he has to stack multiple top 10 recruiting classes.

very selective if you. How long has Michigan has their coach?

Was fortunate to grab an elite QB he was familiar with (from his one year as OC at Indiana) and match him up with elite receivers he inherited from the former staff.

Well, at least that didn't hurt...

He inherited a culture only rivaled by Georgia.

I like all Big 10 Championship Games that exclude Ohio State.

 

[gordonsolie]

Rarely do either of these teams have Top 10 recruiting classes.

Interesting.

Wonder if he has a new way of installing culture? That takes many years from what I have been told, no exact date but you just have to believe..

He also had to put those players into a scheme that would fully exploit their skills and talent. Seriously try to imagine Mario walking into that situation at Washington this year and think about how many wins he would have led UW to and what their offense would have looked like.

Mario would have been a 6-6 team if coaching Washington.

Exactly! Just imagine the talent he would have wasted there.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

I don't care who wins. I'm just happy to see the SEC shut out of the championship game. It's refreshing to see 2 teams that haven't been in the CFP title game.

In irony of the last year of the PAC-12, we have the B1G vs PAC-12 in the title game. Should be a good one.

Did Mario go 6-6 in that same conference when he inherited a NFL QB?

That's a different conference than it was when he was there.

What was UW record before their coach got there? Didn’t they have two horrible years under jimmy lake?

Imagine that. Coaching can make all the difference. The UW head coach came from NAIA got his first P5 OC job at Indiana (Penix connection and one of their best offenses in school history) and then was poached from Fresno State. He also brought **** near his whole staff with him. All from NAIA

What’s the point…..real coaching matters

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

You’re right……it was the worse conference when he was there and now it’s one of the best because of coaching

Ehhh Maybe. I wouldn't be too sure about that however. Meat Chicken hasn't faced an offense like this all year. Mikey Peenous sure has a quick release!
