Jon Joseph Moderator No. 5 Share Posted January 14 No surprise here but it's another B1G moment for the Ducks. It took Harbaugh 8 years to get Michigan into the 4-team Invitational and 10 years to win it all in a season where the SEC's 'best team' Georgia did not make the field. A difficult season for Bama that had more than its share of ups and downs leading in part to Saint Nick's retirement. JJ McCarthy is a late 1st round/ 2nd round NFL QB draft pick. Like at Stanford, Harbaugh's focus after a few unsuccessful Michigan standard seasons, returned to smash-mouth football. Caleb Williams free-lanced USC to an out-of-the-final AP top-25 finish. McCarthy who was playing through an injury late in the season, perfectly game managed Michigan to a title. The drive in the Rose Bowl to tie the game was epic. McCarthy was able to overcome a special teams meltdown and win the game. Would you rather have JJ or Joe Flacco? Harbaugh's gone. Most likely and I hope, to the Chargers. He is losing the core of the roster that defeated Ohio State 3 times in a row and won the title. His relationship with the Wolverines AD is chilly. And why stick around and have to deal with the NCAA? Will Sherron Moore, undefeated as an interim coach against Penn State, Maryland, and Ohio State be elevated to the top job? All of this cements my belief that Oregon and Ohio State, with the corps of its roster back and quality portal pickups, will be playing in the 2024 B1G champ game. In 2024, Michigan plays Texas, Oregon, and USC in Ann Arbor and trips to Seattle and Columbus. Like UW, Michigan will not be putting a 2023 B1G time Blue Chip Roster on the field in 2024. The Michigan roster in 2023 was 54% Blue Chip, 14 out of 16 teams with a BCR. Will it still be Blue Chip come 2024? The Ducks keep scoring by commission and omission. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
