OT: Opening line for Michigan/Iowa is... odd.
Pretty sure I've never seen a 22.5 favorite with an over/under of 35. Michigan literally can't cover and hit the under if Iowa scores a TD. 29-6 would be a push. Coincidentally, I saw on twitter Saturday that the last 10 Iowa games with o/u 35 or lower have hit the under. The Nebraska/Iowa game had an insane 24.5 o/u and they even limboed under that.
So if you think Iowa scores a TD Saturday, take either the points or the over.
I saw that. Good Iowa D and an atrocious offense supports something like that.
Betting on the Hawks, is like betting on the Vikes. Think you got a sure thing? Nope, here comes the red hot Iowa offense that hasn't been seen in 3 years to screw you over. Sure they will score a touch down? Nah, but here is 2 meaningless field goals instead.
Take the over and even give the points. If the Hawks score a touchdown it will be off a turnover and the defense scores. The All-American corner Cooper DeJean is out and replaced by a freshman. The Hawks got manhandled by Penn State earlier in the season and this game should be a similar beatdown. Remember the Hawks gained 12 yards of offense in the 2nd half against the Gophers just a few weeks ago.
Sticky was right the offense is offensive and atrocious but when you have a 260 lb quarterback that only throws fastballs in the area of his receivers what do you expect.
Iowa will probably be shutout so the big question is how much will Michigan score.
With the kick to the nuts last night, part of me now expects the knockout blow to be Iowa beating Michigan in a huge upset. Would completely solidify that Sticky cannot have any nice things as a sports fan and should stick to watching the Professional Bowlers Association tour.
Ok, no crazy shit went down, looks like Michigan will be the new #1 team in the land. Good stuff. Will be interesting to see who gets in: Texas? Probably. FSU? More than likely, although definitely weakest of the 4 playoff teams. Can Alabama get in? Should they? I think they are a MUCH better team than FSU.

But I am also unabashedly a Tide fan.

Georgia AND Alabama should both get in if things were 100% accurate. The 4 best teams in the country are Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Georgia. IMO, without a doubt. Texas has a legit bitch they way they punked the Tide's ass in Tuscaloosa. But no way will the playoff committee do this.

They just did B) Well, they punked Georgia. You know the SEC fans will go ape about Georgia being out and Bama being #4. But it makes sense. Michigan and Washington 1/2 as undefeated champions, Texas and Alabama at 12-1 with Texas getting 3 for beating Alabama. FSU has a legit reason to yell being 13-0 but without their starting QB they only scored 16 points beating a Louisville team that gave up 38 to Pitt. Committee clearly felt they had no chance to win without Travis so putting them in would have been wasting a spot.As for Michigan/Iowa, I watched Iowa go 3-and-out, Michigan hit 3 passes to wide open receivers, said "Game over", and turned the channel with 12 minutes still left in the first quarter :o
