Michigan/Alabama Then Texas/Washington In The 1/1/2024 “Semis”
As stated I was to be in transit (ode to the letters of transit in Casablanca, however, as often the case, I digress) when the 4 team college pig ‘off field was to be announced.
I said FSU and Mich vs FSU. I was wrong, but could see the shift from those aforementioned “know besters” and always knew it could be ‘Bama.
So first on 1/1/2024 Mich is a very slight “fave” vs Alabama to be followed at night, by Texas a mid-sized favorite(the state certainly is not mid size and will lead in population within the next 20 or so years or so it is forecast) vs Washington and its “Pittsburgh PA” supporter. (Rain here in New York, really bad weather there, causing delays, but they finished and (3-10) ‘Zona upset (7-5) Pitts in a rematch and reverse result of the ’08 season Supe).

Speaking of rain, it is left to right, the great Claude Rains and the “ditto” Humphrey Bogart, in the seminal, awesome film, “Casablanca.”
