Poll So its Michigan v Washington for all the marbles

[RobBase]

I don't think it'll be a blowout at all. Like I said 7-10 point Michigan win, but I feel like Washington's offense will have a couple of stalls that puts them in a hole and they are playing from behind and against the clock most of the game.

MI should have no problem controlling the line of scrimmage and time of possession, grinding out the W.

Washington will be put in the position to really go for big plays, and they might hit a few but I bet a couple result in interceptions, too.

Nah, just kick back and enjoy it, you got that comfy no pressure situation where you can just hop on and talk shit to whoever is looking worse at the moment.

Also, if UW looks good or Michigan looks bad you can do that thing where you claim the pac 12 CCG was the real championship. A real team SEC move.

You haven't watched much UW have you? Forced to go for big plays? Leading to turnovers?

They will be going for big plays from the jump. There's no forcing needed. It's what they do and what they do better than anyone else in the country.

For sure UW will be pushed by Michigan's run game. I'm not saying UW should be favored, but the idea we should assume Michigan will stop UWs passing just says you aren't paying attention.

UW hasn't faced a run game as strong as Michigan, and Michigan hasn't seen a passing game anywhere near what UW is.

I watched both Oregon games, MSU and the game last night. I just think MI is going to put them in 3rd and long a lot while in the lead and the ability to control the clock by running the ball.

I misread that when I first saw it, thought he was saying Michigan might be forced to go for big plays. I probably read it that way because it makes way more sense...

Dear Washington fans,

I'd like to use my one time for the game on Monday. Not for me, but for my best friend. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain cancer. He started radiation/chemo today, but even with that, they are saying possibly only 6 months to live, but a max of 12-18 months.

So if you could give this to him. I would greatly appreciate it. He needs something to keep him upbeat.

Thank you for understanding.

UW was 3 of 11 on 3rd downs yesterday and still scored 37. Tell me you didn't actually watch it without telling me you didn't actually watch it.

Again, I like Michigans chances, but your take is ridiculously off the mark.

Yeah but you played Texas.

I could be wrong, but that’s my prediction.

I don't think you can say anything of the such. Washington is unlike any team you guys have faced this year. Their style of offense definitely didn't exist in the Big Ten or with Alabama. Their defense isn't elite but it's also not shit, and michigan's offense has been off ever since Stallions got canned. Not saying I expect Washington to win, but if they're able to connect on big plays early, michigan's not really built to play from behind against this type of offense.

Yeah but you played Texas.

I could be wrong, but that’s my prediction.

And Michigan played the team that lost to Texas.

Of the four teams yesterday, Washington is the only one that wasn’t “rusty”.

Trying to remember a bigger douchenozzle head coach than Harbaugh. Not coming up with anything.

I think UW has a better chance at beating Michigan than Texas after watching last night's game.

Good Luck Michigan...they're going to have to play mistake free ball....

Good explanation … now was a six game suspension appropriate, excessive or too lenient?

Recognizing the signs is one, decoding the signs is another. Are the signs really that simple? If I know a team stole my signs one of two things are going to happen.

I am going to update them.

I am going to send them in with a different method.

Not a real complicated thing to defeat.

Wireless communication is long overdue, and teams than cannot afford to send in-person scouts … maybe they shouldn’t be playing the big boys.

I'd say appropriate.

The NCAA hasn't weighed in yet that I've heard. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, they do.

None of what you said matters as far as the act. It doesn't matter if Michigan was able to actually use any of it. They could have gotten them so wrong that they lost all of those games and, other than adding a layer of hilarity, it wouldn't matter. It would still have been a violation.

I think the UM/Washington game will come down to the little things each team does. A big advantage for UM is -- they are one of, if not, the least penalized teams in CFB. I just read that Washington is the 2nd most penalized team in CFB.

Michigan's team isn't one you want to be behind the markers on offense and they aren't a team you want to give free yards when you are defense, as they can grind out looooong drives wearing your defense down.

In Washington's defense -- the article said they only had 30 yards of penalties in the semifinal, which is 40 less yards than their season average. So they could easily play a clean game, but if they put up their season average of 70 yards worth of penalties against UM -- it will makes things extremely difficult for them.

This one looks pretty simple to me, Michigan is not going to be able to score with Washington.

I heard an interesting comparison yesterday. Someone compared this 2023 Washington team to the 2021 Ohio State team, that Michigan ended up beating. They were saying that they were constructed and built in a way to beat that team with Stroud, Olave, Wilson and JSN. I honestly thought it was pretty spot on. This Michigan team is better than that Michigan team IMO. And this UW team is probably slightly worse than that OSU team, overall, despite being undefeated. My guess is Michigan wins by about 10-14 or so.
