And now the really hard part begins: third-seeded TCU enters the Vrbo…

With the ugly College Football Playoff National Championship between Georgia and TCU in the rearview mirror, now is the time to look into the future and make predictions that come this time next year could easily look laughable at best.

Stetson Bennett had his best game of the season against Ohio State, going 23-for-34 for 398 yards, with three TD passes and an interception. It was the first time in six games that he's crossed the 300+ yard plateau, but he should have plenty of opportunity against a TCU defense that ranks 83rd in pass yards, giving up 235.6 per game.

Of course, as we all know, that comes with loads of spare time while the little potato just lies there and requires no attention or assistance from us, no sir. What follows is a set of previews of…

Michigan made its College Football Playoff debut in the 2021 season, and things didn't go nearly as well as the team had hoped. The Wolverines lost by 23 points to Georgia in the Orange Bowl, which prevented them from advancing to the CFP National Championship Game. This season, Michigan came back even stronger. And it's hoping its upcoming…

Michigan has been here before. Defeated Ohio State. Captured the Big Ten championship. Advanced to the College Football Playoff. In fact, the Wolverines accomplished all of this just last year. This year, however, it feels different. Sure, Michigan's first-round playoff opponent is different than it was last season, and this year the Wolverines…

In the 2022 College Football Playoff, the game between the two and three seeds is expected to be the best.

After not a bad start to bowl season, things really went off the rails over the last few days. Arkansas blew a big lead, Syracuse scored a late touchdown, and a number of other teams I picked had terrible performances. While we can't even up our season record, hopefully we can still have some fun with these last games of bowl season. Who knows,…

Michigan's ground game didn't miss a beat when Corum went down in the second last week of the season. Edwards stepped in versus Ohio State, and ripped off 216 rushing yards and two scores. He followed up that performance with a 185-yard, one-TD performance in the Conference Championship Game, and averaged 8.5 yards per carry in those two…

Last season, Michigan made its debut in the College Football Playoff. It didn't end up being a great showing for the Wolverines, though, as they lost in lopsided fashion to Georgia in the Orange Bowl, a semifinal matchup. That performance didn't stop the program's momentum, however. On Dec. 31, No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 TCU will meet in the Fiesta…

TCU went from…

Last year, No. 2 Michigan did something nobody was expecting.

Unfortunately, what was a tremendous achievement for Jim Harbaugh's program didn't have the happiest…

Yes, TCU is facing a juggernaut defense in Michigan, but our free college football picks like the Horned Frogs' stars - QB Max Duggan and RB Kendre Miller - to still put forward a good effort and cash in against some very modest yardage total props.

After an undefeated regular season, the Michigan Wolverines are back in the CFP with unfinished business to settle.

Similar to the bowl season of the previous year, Michigan is again gearing up for the College Football Playoff semifinals.
