Michigan Is A Significant Plurality “Fave,”
Sure there is uncertainty and even more so controversy ahead, as hours from now and with me in transit, the four college football ‘offs participants will be named.
Two certain ones are the four time Rose Bowl opponents (’77, ’80,’91 and ’92 seasons–they split the 4 games, the most noteworthy being Wash’s win in ’91-’92 to gain a share of the mythical college crown with Miami Florida, ode to Miami Ohio winning its conference yesterday), (13-0)Michigan and (13-0) Washington.
They almost certainly will rank 1-2, with Michigan now only a slight underdog to win a non shared title (they shared the ’97 season crown with Nebraska, a third win or share for Nebby in 4 seasons and no titles since) for the first time in 75 years.
There is a third (13-0) team and they are Florida State, which won the A.C.C. crown with a (16-6) win vs Louisville last night. They did so with third string, true freshman quarterback Brock Glenn at the so important “quarterback station.”
Based on projections, especially by those who know best (they are not Robert Young/”Jim Anderson” types, not by to use a related term, “a longshot,” but they are smart), FSU will make the ‘off and it appears be #4 ((12-1)Texas is also projected in, likely but far from certainly, as a #3 to clash with “Wash,” leaving out (12-1) Alabama, which fulfilled my prediction that Georgia would not win a third straight crown, however, hail each team, though neither appears to be ‘offs bound. ‘Bama, whose lone loss was to Texas, certainly still has a chance), which if it comes to fruition would manifest in “Mich” being a pretty big “semis” favorite vs the ‘Noles.
Again I will be in transit and will discuss this further in the next day or so.
I could so easily be wrong, but I see “Mich” a pretty big “fave” and likely winner vs Florida State and Texas a relatively small favorite vs Washington and its “Pittsburgh PA” supporter.
