I thought I read somewhere that Herbert just signed a five year extension. Did I imagine that?

The CA state income tax is 14% for Harbaugh's bracket.  The Chargers would have to pay him 10% more than whatever Michigan is willing to pay just for him to break even on the taxes alone.

As a long snapper, we'll know for sure this was a successful addition if we don't hear his name spoken again until senior day.

I've also heard rumors he's going to announce later today he's staying at Michigan.  Nobody knows anything.

Yep, my understanding was the timeout was actually called before the kneel down because the coaches saw an imbalance in the line protection they didn't like.

Would Alabama still be one of the four best teams if they didn't complete one 4th and 31 pass with time expiring?  Funny how sometimes the games matter, but sometimes they don't.

I agree, but I also wonder if they would really leave out two power 5 conference winners.

I remember when the playoff committee used to talk about "game control" being an important factor.  Game control clearly wasn't a positive for Alabama this year.

If Alabama doesn't complete…

If Alabama doesn't complete that 4th and 31 touchdown pass, but still beats Georgia in the SEC championship game, who would we be playing on Jan 1st?

(Also, it's still funny to me that Alabama is now "one of the best 4 teams in college football" because they completed that one crazy pass, but wouldn't be if they didn't).

The only thing we can control is beating Iowa.  Let's just make sure we do that.

OSU would also end up a one-loss team with one less win than other one loss teams.

Day inherited a 13-1 team and a loaded recruiting pipeline.  Any coach in America would be able to pull off a good run after stepping into that kind of situation.

Yep, my take is that Michigan has thoroughly combed through everything it has, found nothing serious, and is therefore backing the team and coaches to the hilt.  The regents and president don't seem to be the kind of people that would just roll the dice if they didn't feel really good about where they think they stand. The only thing that gives me pause is whether the B1G or NCAA has some kind of unexpected evidence/finding that they've not yet showed Michigan.
