Citrus Bowl Michigan vs. Alabama

[Foster]

I think Michigan will have more incentive as this game will be a let down for Bama. Still like Bama to cover the 7 point spread.

Go Blue!!!!

 

[McMurphy]

I will be surprised if Alabama is motivated for this game. Michigan might just win it

 

[eastside_purple]

Hope Michigan wins.

Always root for the Big in bowl games, even meatchicken

 

[zeeman]

Go Blue!!!!

Does it suck so bad how far you guys are behind the Buckeyes?

 

[KingKong24]

Bama scores on first offensive play. Why would you put a true freshman against Jerry Jeudy?

 

[Orin Swift]

This Bama defense is not very good.

 

[coltfan76]

Bama run defense is hot garbage.

 

[Yappi]

Alabama wins 35-16.

Kind of funny watching the last 30 seconds. Alabama scores a late TD instead of kneeling on the ball. Michigan spikes the ball with 1 second left down by 19.

 

[zeeman]

Michigan coaching staff is bad

In all fairness, it’s pretty hard for a team full of future astrophysicists and MDs to compete with Alabama’s cheating ways. ?

Michigan’s bowl record the last 20 years or so is almost as impressive as their record against Ohio State over that time frame.

 

[KingKong24]

Harbaugh 1-4 in bowls 0-5 against Ohio State.

 

[coltfan76]

PJ Fleck and Ryan Day have more 11 win seasons in the B1G than Harbaugh.

These bowl games are a sham. Just do a playoff already.

Too much money in the bowls

People say that, but there’s no doubt you could restructure and make more via a tournament.

The minor bowls are mostly about getting ESPN football program inventory for December.

Why not have a NIT equivalent tourny as well to replace that?

The best suggestion is a group of 5 playoff, they could give automatic bids to the champs and then 3 at large. Only issue is these fan bases don't tend to travel well and may not make for good visuals on TV so they may have to play the early rounds on campus. Then again the NIT plays on campus and some of their games are played in the auxiliary gyms for larger schools because they cannot fill up their primary arenas.

The best suggestion is for a real 16 team playoff. Players will play, prople will watch, fans will attend.

The basketball NIT is just bad basketball that no one cares about, but a football NIT would work as it would still have engaged players and fanbases. No one travels now because it’s meaningless and it’s only going to get worse.

16 or 32 (with 2 brackets). Higher seed is the home team until the final four

It's not funny; its typical SEC. Real classy.

Harbaugh's is clueless on clock management.

YES!!
