    so who you got for the natty, Washington or Michigan. I’m leaning Washington after watching their quarterback. I think he probably should’ve won the Heisman.

    Michigan seems like the more complete team given UW’s defensive deficiencies, but UW’s passing game is absurd so that might balance that out.

    I hate the big 10 probably because ESPN used to root for them so hard. So I am pulling for Washington but I really just want a good game.

    Let the pac 12 have a title before it gets dissolved. Plus penix looks legit.

    edit: plus it’s nice to see lower ranked recruiting classes being coached up to compete with teams stocked with blue chips, as i think that will be the model we will have to follow for the foreseeable future. Glad it can work, albeit much harder in the sec.

    IMo Michigan will be favored but Washington will win.
    Pac 12 is legit.

    I am hoping Washington wins because I am not a fan of the Big10 but the way the Huskies almost threw that game away with some questionable game and clock management and an ill timed injury I am not sure they will be able to handle Michigan's defence! The injury to the RB which prevented the clock from running down further will probably be a big loss for Washington also, it would be nice to see the Pac 12 win on the way out!

    Penix will abuse Michigan's backfield.

    Michigan opened at -4.5 at most books.

    I think Washington is the more battle-tested team. I give them the edge but I am pulling for Michigan.

    For some reason I just can’t hate Harbaugh.

    Hopefully Washington, Michigan will probably have trouble since they are unlikely to have stolen the Huskies signs.

    I’m not a fan of Harbaugh or Michigan but, their defense is really good. Washington might surprise me but if I were a betting man I’d put my money on Meeechagan.

    I’m just hoping for a barn burner that comes down to the very end of the fourth quarter.

    I think that will tighten up as we get closer to the game.

    I'd probably take Washington and the points if it sticks around 4 or 5.

    Pulling for Washington, though someone other than uga or bama is also nice.

    I’m going for Washington, just because I have no reason to dislike them. I also want to see a new regime in college football be on top… of course with UF returning to prominence as well. Sick of Bama, UGA, Clemson, and OSU being at the top. I’m not tired of Michigan yet, but I’m getting close to it.

    QB and receivers. Some of those grabs were astounding.
