Curmudgeon Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'd be surprised if they didn't give it to TCU as they're more deserving of it than Alabama. As they only lost the conference championship game by a bawhair they might even be kept at #3 ahead of Ohio State. My guess is the semi finals might be something like this- Peach Bowl - Georgia v Ohio State Fiesta Bowl - Michigan v TCU Just to see how badly I can get this wrong here's my predictions for the rest of the big bowls. Rose - Utah v Penn State Sugar - Alabama v Kansas State Orange - Clemson v Tennessee Cotton - USC v Tulane 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Aye I'd still have TCU in ahead of Alabama. I'd go 1. Georgia 2. Michigan 3. Ohio State 4. TCU. If that scenario plays out, the Michigan v Ohio State rematch will be an absolute blockbuster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Confirmed as 1. Georgia 2. Michigan 3. TCU and 4. Ohio State. So it's Georgia v Ohio State and Michigan v TCU. Two good looking games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I'm confused by the system again. According to Wikipedia, they've already decided who plays in the semi-finals, to be played around the New Year. But, BT Sport are listing a bunch of quarter-finals being shown this weekend? So are the playoff teams set or not? If so, what are the BT games for and do the playoff teams just sit around twiddling their thumbs for three weeks? Why don't they play more rounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekend's games are for the level below so a different set of playoffs altogether. That's the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision), the more familiar league is the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision). There's no promotion or relegation between the two, but occasionally a team from the FCS might get invited to join the bigger league. The FBS playoffs are due to expand to 12 teams in a couple of years' time, which considering there's about 130 teams seems overdue. Absolutely agree that it's a confusing setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 TCU have been fantastic on both sides of the ball. Michigan will need to be much better in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCU are obviously a very good team by virtue of being in the playoff, but Michigan were a big favourite. That turnover and resulting TD could well be a turning point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that last statement back. Would be an epic collapse for TCU to lose from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
