Several teams have a case for the top four spots when the CFP rankings come out on Tuesday. Here's how RJ Young thinks it will shake out.
, and he had six catches for 123 yards with two TDs in a 24-10 win against the Badgers. Another Ohio State home run hitter, running backdidn't play at all. Still, the Buckeyes haven't given up more than 17 points to a single opponent all year and have held six opponents to 12 or fewer — including Penn State.. They've not only gone 41-1 since their last loss to Florida in 2020, but have won 25 straight.
An undefeated UGA in the SEC title game feels like a lock for the CFP, even if it were to lose that title game — especially if that loss is close, and come againstWhen it comes to Michigan, the difference for me is that the Wolverines have throttled every opponent, and they play better with a chip. It'sbecause the phrase comes from the 19th century when a dude would put a block of wood — a chip — on his shoulder and belligerently dare someone to knock it off if they wanted to fight.
It's self-inflicted — just like this sign-stealing-cheating scandal. As I am a man powered by slights both real and imagined, as fierce in a fight as I am spoiling for one, I recognize how pyrrhic these last few seasons must feel in light of this alleged dark corner of Michigan football being exposed naked, bare and ghastly like John McClane wearing nothing but a sandwich board in Harlem.
I understand where you're coming from, Michigan fans. I have a tattoo of a chip on my right shoulder, Rudyard Kipling's"If" tattooed on my left shoulder and William Ernest Henley's"Invictus" tattooed on my right forearm. But I also doubt the rest of us can ignore that Michigan has owned Ohio State for the last two years and that it looks once again like the de facto CFP quarterfinal will be on Thanksgiving weekend.
Perhaps it's simple for many that the reason the Wolverines won The Game these last two years is that they knew what plays were coming. But it's not so simple. Just because you know what's coming doesn't mean you can stop it. Now that it appears your coaching staff enabled cheating — ignorantly or not — all players can do is what they have for the last two years: Win. And leave no doubt in the month of November..
