A lot of people also forget that they lost a shot at a title in 2018 because they lost by 4 touchdowns to a team that lost to Eastern Michigan at home.
So great that they barely beat Nebraska at home and the officiating was so bad in that game the B1G felt the need to issue a statement on it the next day.
i get youre a michigan fan, but beating the #6, #10, #9, #1, #5, and #8 ranked teams to win a national title is the best/most difficult run we have seen to a national title.
it is simply true for one year. next year, someone may have a harder path, but for one year, they have the greatest run
College football fans are going to have to rethink how they view success. You are going allowed to lose more often and still have success.
We don’t look at the Eagles differently because they lost to Commanders in December when they won the Super Bowl. That doesn’t mean Eagles fans were happy.
well yeah. college football changed last year. Maybe next year the champion is 16-0 and beat 7 top 10 ranked teams. i can’t predict the future. But Ohio State, as they did in 2014, set the standard of the new era of college football.
Good playoff run but it’s by default bc it was the first one in an expanded playoff format. Definitely not greatest season, 2 losses and 1 to unranked rival. It’s ok to say it’s new and there will be new categories of this stuff but definitely underachieved during regular season.
I'm not. I'm chuckling that OSU insecurity is so deep that a national title isn't good enough, and y'all have to claim it was the Best Run Ever when it clearly wasn't.
You need to add more context. They lost as 3 score favorites at home while their unranked rival’s anemic offense whose QB couldn’t throw downfield run by an OC who got fired 36 hours later controlled the clock for the entire 4th quarter.
Not to mention how embarrassing the fight they started was!
You’re getting ratio’d because CFBsky is like 50% Michigan fans by volume but this is 100% true! It would’ve been true for Notre Dame had they won the title game instead of us! And it’ll be matched next year! But it’s true!
This is an underrated aspect of our national championship, watching Michigan fans twist themselves into underselling their good team (minus QB) and frankly great defense because it owns the Bucks or something
It's not the underselling that says Michigan owns you; it's beating you in Columbus and planting a flag. You guys lost to Oregon also. Regardless of how bad the Michigan loss is, arguing it's the greatest run with 2 losses and no conference championship is a bit weak.
oh, the defense was absolutely stellar, no one is denying that
The offense was rancid. Awful. Unwatchable. Vile. The OL was mediocre, and that was the best part of the offense outside of Loveland (excellent, but injured) and Mullings (good, but overworked).
Yeah our best offensive player didn't even play in The Game! We had running backs behind a line that wasn't particularly good at blocking for them and a QB who was a great Beat Cancer story but was not a B1G level starting QB. At all.
The starting front 6 on D will all play on Sundays, of course.

But who knows what next year will bring. They own that title because they wrote the initial chapter of the new era of CFB
welcome to the new college football where you can and will lose and still win national championships.
it’s fucking great.

Quiet, then.
Michigan still had NFL level talent at almost every position, especially on defense.

maybe they made the championship game? they did that, right?
Unlike their football team.
their QBs were bad. if they had competent QB play more than NW, OSU, and Bama, Michigan is probably 9-3/10-2 and pushing playoff territory.
