@@mattbunts7513 Oh don't say that!! It upsets people. It's not PC to say the refs probably cost you a game you played poorly in and still should have won easily.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@prakdescott8667 Actually Michigans coaching staff adjusted too slowly to what was happening on the field. The whole first half they stalled the offense by being stubborn to what was happening on running plays yet they kept at it. Even on several possessions in he 2nd half.

It's something he is terrible at in bowl games. Actually, with the overturned touchdown they still would have won the game, but they still should have overcome that. Can't let the officials take a game from you by playing lame for the whole first half. That's what officials can and will do
Excellent job. Great summation. Equally refreshing to see so many comments giving respect to tcu. It wasn't a perfect, I'm a tcu fan, I openly admit that. But I think this was a statement game for the defense.
TCU had the bigger, faster, more aggressive players. Only upset about that game is the so-called none brand beat the brand. Best players on the field on both sides of the ball had on purple.
@Brian bruh, the were picked to finish 7th in the big 12, unranked to start the year, first year head coach and like 95% or more of the roster had never even played in any bowl game, let alone a cfp. That's the definition of a Cinderella
TCU was the better team and when you Michigan with all those 4 and 5 stars and you got beat down by a private school who has 20% of your own student body you have to ask yourself, were we ready ? And the answer is NO ! TCU was better prepared and deserved to win this game ! Happy new year to you all and Hail State !
Funny how the Michigan qb said that played “smash fest”. And are going to bring the big 10 to the big 12, yet they can’t run the ball the whole game and honestly got dominated up front.
@@bunkydamonkey1225 Michigan had 186 yards of rushing and scored 39 points in the second half. They had the ball with the chance to win in the 4th quarter despite: 1. Having the officials take away a TD from them, 2. 2 pick sixes, 3. Not scoring at all twice in the first half when inside the 5.
@@SmashTheNumbers TCU averaged 8 yards per carry. Michigan averaged 5. You couldn’t run the ball besides the first play of the game. TCU outplayed Michigan.
@@SmashTheNumbers you obviously didnt watch the game. 60 of those yards came on one run in the first play. Tcu dominated the los. Michigan only scored on trick plays and mccarthy scrambling for his life
@@VLA1234-t2t I wonder if you noticed (while watching the game) that Michigan scored 39 points in the second half? TCU had good luck at the right times. Other than that, Michigan played well enough to win.
Last Fiesta bowl I watched with this much scrutiny was Auburn Oregon for the national championship at 2011. The field was slippery then as well. It affected many plays and just look at the low final score was between a vintage chip Kelly offense vs Cam Newton.
Georgia with the nations top defense gave up 41 last night. They trailed by 3 scores. That didn't matter. They said were in a track meet, so let's ourscore them with plays that are working. Michigan with one of the nations top defenses gave up 37 points the offense gave up 14. Despite all the play calling errors at the goal line and the officials, Michigan showed they should have won this game. But here is what happened. They said let's run the ball and go 3 and out long after it was obvious they could not run. Cost them time on the clock and so much momentum over and over. They kept giving up control of the game by going 3 and out in the 2nd half several times. Because they refused to recognize and accept they could not run. Stubborness and lack of awareness. Despite all of these coaching blunders they still had a chance to win the game outright at the end. Truth is if a modern thinking coaching staff was at the controls Michigan wins this game pretty handily. Look at all the blunders and sheer stubborness with our coaching staff. All that talent wasted again.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah ok. TCU defense stepped it up. They went from a team who relied mostly on outscoring to yesterday a good defensive effort. That was the difference the turnovers
Michigan definitely had a chance to win but it wasn’t all them why they lost. TCU turned the ball over as well. The game was won because every time it looked like Michigan was going to get back into the game TCU had an answer which kept the Wolverines at bay.
Ik people will say I’m cringe, but I’m glad TCU won a playoff game for the Big 12. They proved you don’t have to be OU or Texas to do it. And TCU was the better team yesterday in practically every facet.
Michigan had more total yards, more passing yards, more first downs, led in time of possession, had fewer penalty yards and fewer punts. They tied in yards per play(7.0) and turnovers (3). The only major team stat that TCU led was rushing yards/YPC.
@@SmashTheNumbers stat muncher. If u watched the game TCU was dominating. Michigan kept barely getting back into it bc of penalties. Scored directly after a penalty 4 times
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. TCU was the better team, period. Faster, more physical, more disciplined. Michigan and Ohio State get too much credit.
Cover 3, yall actually did a decent job of analyzing the game so I won’t be too hard on yall, but the fact is is that Tcu just played better. You will all turn to the more first downs and total yardage, and while that is true, Michigan had more possessions than tcu, 18-15, (not counting pick sixes for Michigan) and two of those drives were one play drives that Tcu turned it over, so really it was 18-13. When you have five more drives than the other team then yeah, you’re gonna have more yards and first downs, generally. Donovan edwards was not that big of a factor. You take away his 60 yard run on the first play and he has around 59 yards on less than 3 yards a carry, on a team that prides itself on smash mouth, physical football with a great offensive line. On the other side, you have a defense that allows on average around 200 total yards and 13 points and the Tcu offense put together 37 offensive points and almost 500 yards. They just played better. The only reason Michigan stayed in the game was because of Tcu turnovers, I don’t think Michigan scores 45 or even 38 if tcu doesn’t turn it over 3 times in their own territory. You could probably take away the two pick sixes and I’m still confident Tcu would win because of that dominating offensive performance. Even if they were down 38-37 with like 2:13 left, I would have taken duggan and that offense to go a get a game winning FG. The frogs just played better. Start respecting them more.
This year the Big 12 was very good as was the SEC. Both teams GA and TCU played a lot of good teams. The transfer portal has created parody in these conferences. Yes SEC has great history. If GA underestimates Sonny Dykes they will struggle. 13.5 point spread says a lot. Before GA got Kirby Smart, they were the Oklahoma of the SEC. Should be a good game.
If TCU wins the championship it’s ultimately gonna cause a certain type of consistent top-25 school to absolutely lose their mind and get a bunch of coaches in those jobs saddled with expectations they have no hope of meeting.
@@johncarlson5636 I agree, but CFB fans and admins are not known for being reasonable or fair. Don't get me wrong, I'll be stoked if they do it, but a bunch of people will learn the wrong lessons from it.
The answer is no oyu are not getting spotted points from Georgia. Georgia would have to play thier wprst game in 30 years to lose just as Michigan did.

@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 Yep. I guess the question is: is TCU like Mississippi State in all of the other relevant repects this year? Certainly have the coaching tree there, but I think TCU has significantly better D and O lines, safties, LBs, and a better QB, with better WRs, RBs, etc.
It will take an incredible act by the refs to keep TCU from winning. Georgia looks like trash...they are not in the top 10. Probably crap coaching to be honest....but who knows.
The main thing that hurt Michigan is they scored less points than TCU.

If TCU is so good how come they 14 point dogs in the National Championship Game? 🤔
Because they are constantly disrespected because they aren’t a big brand like Texas or Georgia. That’s why.

For the same reason that we give rankings to teams before the season starts.
