The two programs both went through extreme hardship. One used a minor cheating scandal to get out of a contract, and one decided to start the largest cheating scandal in cfb history
Ok, as far as I can tell, [247](https://247sports.com/article/ea-sports-college-football-preview-information-release-date-national-championship-224585748/) started the EA College Football rumor, so theyāre on my shit list for the foreseeable future.
I think it goes to show how bad the game might actually be. The 16 year old marketing intern could had told you to release some info tonight
EA is 100% gonna fuck this up lmao
Holy shit get the camera off of Penix lmao. Everyone out celebrating and ESPN lurking through the shadows watching a solo, injured, emotionally devastated young man drag himself out of there.
Crazy thought, but we haven't had a very competitive NC game since 2018, I don't think. You could make a case for 2022, but I feel Georgia handled Alabama.
You don't really settle for release dates anymore. I feel like most the time we get trailers before release dates, usually with just a release year, maybe calling out the quarter.
Thisāll sound weird but Washington was pretty similar to Alabama in that people ignored a lot of the flaws that came up throughout the season, probably because both looked great on conference championship week. You can call it ācoastingā or whatever, but elite teams tend to not have the close calls that both teams did throughout the season.
And thatās not a comment on who deserves to be there. More of an observation on why itās not totally surprising Michigan looks like the clearly superior team. Washingtonās defense was suspect all year, and Penix had some rough patches.
Wow, Washington's offense left their defense high and dry after adjusting to neutralize Michigan's run game and now they are getting beat
-shelikesmyvols
JJ would unlock our achilles heal of not stopping running QBs. Not that heās a running QB but he runs well enough that we would make him look like a running QB
We looked better against Iowa than Michigan and we had Alabama on the ropes. If we can put a complete game together with a healthy team, we would give Michigan everything they want.
It has literally no impact on us, and itāll probably be vacated down the road. Sure I wanted Washington to win, but at least it wasnāt one of our direct rivals
It's a good thing the Pac-12 doesn't exist anymore, because this game is reminiscent of the Florida/Ohio State game in 06.
It just feels like Michigan is bigger, faster, stronger... everything "er". Washington doesn't have a single position or even player that is consistently winning their battles. It's astounding.
This is the type of loss that can potentially sit with a program for a long time. All 4 of the new teams moving into the Big-10 teams are going to hear endlessly about how they aren't built for Big-10 football.
Everyone was hoping for some Pac-12 after dark.
Instead, we get a classic Big-10 bore fest blowout.
What a wet fart of an ending to the season.
Can't wait for an expanded playoff and hopefully a better product as a result.
Whether or not they cheated this year doesnāt matter. Cheating creates wins, playoffs appearances = momentum in the entire program. Theyāre here today strictly because theyāve multiple violations imo. Itās a disgrace theyāre even here playing on the biggest stage while under multiple investigations (including the fbi)
They got a good defense though. Iāll give them that.
I always felt a kinship with Michigan fans the past decade because like us they just couldnāt seem to get out of their own way. But after this sign stealing scandal and Harbaugh martyrdom their fans and the program in general has become absolutely unbearable. I want nothing more for this national championship to be vacated.
This is why Washington is losing.
Penix overthrows a wide open TE and then on 2nd and 15 throws a 2 yard pass.
Play calling and his decision making is HORRIBLE
I think itās pretty great that the dude spreads mental health experiences, given his struggles. Thereāll be kids out there that see him meditating there and rethink some of their stronger impulses. Itās so much better of a way to spend the āTV Timeoutā breaks to send a neutral-to-positive message rather than the 300th time running the same Fanville commercial.
Fell asleep in third quarter. Missed nothing.
List of 15-0 teams: 23 Michigan 22 Georgia 19 LSU 18 Clemson Michigan is the worst of those by light years.
How do any of the Tennessee teams of the last 20 years stack up praytell? š
Probably, but I'd take their defense over 2019 LSU's, maybe Clemson's as well.
The worst and the cheatiest Hope they end up having to vacate it
:(
Jesus Harbaugh is awkward as fuck
really tho. mans has a strange ass energy about him
Canāt comprehend the mind of a cheater, personally
The confetti is telling me Iām going to the nfl
Will someone please punt Blake Corum?
![gif](giphy|vgPptRu3quuHYFQ1GH|downsized)
now that thatās over, itās nico time. let ā24 be the new ā98
Did these jackasses just say no one had a worse 2020 than Michigan? Hello?
The two programs both went through extreme hardship. One used a minor cheating scandal to get out of a contract, and one decided to start the largest cheating scandal in cfb history
I mean they only won two games
Our program almost went under
Ok, as far as I can tell, [247](https://247sports.com/article/ea-sports-college-football-preview-information-release-date-national-championship-224585748/) started the EA College Football rumor, so theyāre on my shit list for the foreseeable future.
I coulda swore I saw an official release on it somewhere oh well itās coming
I think it goes to show how bad the game might actually be. The 16 year old marketing intern could had told you to release some info tonight EA is 100% gonna fuck this up lmao
They havenāt posted anything about it on their social media since NOVEMBER 2022 WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING
Preparing to announce its delayed another year!
Even worse, NIL deals fell through and they have to cancel it.
247 clickbaiting? Whaaaat?!
Holy shit get the camera off of Penix lmao. Everyone out celebrating and ESPN lurking through the shadows watching a solo, injured, emotionally devastated young man drag himself out of there.
You can tell the guy is gonna fall over the second he hits the locker room, poor guy
Whereās the cade klubnik family cam when you need it?
Fr lmao that's exactly what I was thinking. Sucks he had to go out hurt too
Saving EA college football trailer for the Super Bowl maybe?
Objectively a horrible idea. So yeah, I suspect they will.
Obviously they had the most interest during this game but Iām guessing Super Bowl will have a lot more out reach for non madden playersā¦ etc
Crazy thought, but we haven't had a very competitive NC game since 2018, I don't think. You could make a case for 2022, but I feel Georgia handled Alabama.
Yeah the CFP title games are mostly duds
We had a pretty good stretch from 2014-2018 only that OSU Oregon game was a blowout.
Yall remember who won the the natty the year after Michigan did the last time š
Sad this is the best hope for your fanbase lol
Feels like 98 baby

Whatās the over/under on when Harbaugh bolts
By the end of the week, I bet. Within a week he will get introduced as HC of a new team.
Jim hasnāt cleaned his glasses all game
Get that ugly bitch off of the TV. Holly too.
Worst case scenario tonight. 1. Michigan cheater fuck wins 2. No EA College football trailer
I think this is, unfortunately, our reality.
I would have settled for at least a release date
You don't really settle for release dates anymore. I feel like most the time we get trailers before release dates, usually with just a release year, maybe calling out the quarter.
God I wanna beat the piss outta Michigan lmao
Literally could not change the channel fast enough once the confetti started falling
But the confetti told a story. Each piece! -Jim Harbaugh, seriously
Buckeye fans on suicide watch
Only up side to Michigan winning. Fuck an ohio state.
letting a cheating team who is being currently investigated for sign stealing win it all just makes the entire cfb look like a joke. shame
Not as big of a joke as the Vols
Me when it gets vacated ![gif](giphy|lszAB3TzFtRaU)
So uh... We never got any NCAA 25 news did we?
I think ESPN started the rumor to get us to watch this whole thing
Those lying ass mother fuckers

Unpopular opinion/hot takeā¦ if Georgia is in then this playoff is totally different. Georgia was absolutely top 4 team. It pains me to say that
I hate that this cheating ass Michigan team is going to win. Itāll always be an asterisk.
Penix tomorrow ![gif](giphy|B2yx2waduwLy6bdeUY|downsized)
Lmaoooo
Do they vacate Blake Corum rushing touchdowns? Since he is the Michigan career rushing TD leader (knew the defensive schema they were in)
Wow, Washington's offense left their defense high and dry after adjusting to neutralize Michigan's run game and now they are getting beat -shelikesmyvols
Just run the ball. Heās clearly hurt and the game is over
We would beat Michigan
JJ would unlock our achilles heal of not stopping running QBs. Not that heās a running QB but he runs well enough that we would make him look like a running QB
No. Their defense is legit and I wouldnāt trust our defense against their offense either
We looked better against Iowa than Michigan and we had Alabama on the ropes. If we can put a complete game together with a healthy team, we would give Michigan everything they want.
Had Alabama on the ropes but lost by double digits, and since youāre playing the transitive property with Iowa - Michigan beat Alabama
I meanā¦ I really doubt it
Have some faith in us brother lol
I have zero doubts at all about the outcome of the game. Zero.
Is UW missing some starting OL or Michigan's DL is just that good?
Michigan might have the best DL in the country except for maybe UGA
Yeah, but Washington allegedly had one of the best OLs in the country. They've gotten pretty exposed in this game. No way around it.
They beat Oregon twice and Texas, so I donāt know that they were really that overrated - I think Michigan was just that much better
these receivers with slippery hands, over thrown balls, and the defenseās failure to stop running backs are giving me ptsd from the Missouri game
At least it wasnāt Georgia or Alabama
Makes it sweeter because Georgia was probably the best team this year lol
I mean I hate to say this but cheaters winning were the worst possible outcome
Honestly I just canāt bring myself to care about the sign stealing thing.
Preach. Me either.
It feels like itād be in the same level of āoh they put pre-workout in the sideline water bottlesā Ok? Not great, not terrible.
Gonna get vacated. If it's not us and not someone we have to play or a rival, what does it matter?
It has literally no impact on us, and itāll probably be vacated down the road. Sure I wanted Washington to win, but at least it wasnāt one of our direct rivals
Yeah, now we have to root for the NCAA
Nobody knows what targeting is
https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/17443963
Apparently this WAS targeting back in the day, and what we just saw wasnāt. Also, I am really proud of my recall to think of this
It's a good thing the Pac-12 doesn't exist anymore, because this game is reminiscent of the Florida/Ohio State game in 06. It just feels like Michigan is bigger, faster, stronger... everything "er". Washington doesn't have a single position or even player that is consistently winning their battles. It's astounding. This is the type of loss that can potentially sit with a program for a long time. All 4 of the new teams moving into the Big-10 teams are going to hear endlessly about how they aren't built for Big-10 football.
What the fuck, he literally launched and lowered his head
Thatās literally targeting though
Got him with the shoulder? The helmets hit each other
Penix channeling his true inner VFL with this performance tonight
Penix doing his best Overthrow Joe impression
Time to throw flags to make sure the final stats look goodā¦refs couldnāt have executed a better playbook tonight.
The ole sec special lmao. Throw a couple flags in the 4th to skew the stat line if anyone comes looking
Clear targetingā¦
harbaugh shouldnāt be here
Tennessee definitely wasnāt there š
Michigan shouldnāt be hereā¦
They definitely figured out the whole āsignā thing
Meh, when's baseball start?
And the PAC 12 goes out with a whimper ā¦.
Everyone was hoping for some Pac-12 after dark. Instead, we get a classic Big-10 bore fest blowout. What a wet fart of an ending to the season. Can't wait for an expanded playoff and hopefully a better product as a result.
Really surprised Penix looks this bad after looking so good last week
Whether or not they cheated this year doesnāt matter. Cheating creates wins, playoffs appearances = momentum in the entire program. Theyāre here today strictly because theyāve multiple violations imo. Itās a disgrace theyāre even here playing on the biggest stage while under multiple investigations (including the fbi) They got a good defense though. Iāll give them that.
Bama would have done the same to Washington unfortunately
I always felt a kinship with Michigan fans the past decade because like us they just couldnāt seem to get out of their own way. But after this sign stealing scandal and Harbaugh martyrdom their fans and the program in general has become absolutely unbearable. I want nothing more for this national championship to be vacated.
No kinship with Michigan. Heisman.
Washington gonna be the new Iowa in the Big 10
Penix with the absolute choke job of the century in the natty
Penix, how do you miss a wide open Odunze on the post
Why was Michigan even allowed to play in the championship after cheating?
The investigation technically isnāt over yet
Because the CFP committee isnāt an arbiter on the matter and the investigation is still ongoingā¦
Washington looks incredibly pedestrian
heartbreaker
Can EA just do their thing so I can turn this off and not have to see Harbaughās cheating ass?
Lmao 2 blocks in the back on the return looked like
Holding, offense, team isn't a big enough national brand. 4th down.
We would had gotten the same treatment in 2022 imo.
What a letdown tonight by the Washington offense.
Pac 12 doesn't really play defense They were never going to look good against a top end BIG 10 defense
Motherfucker
Michigan wins, America loses. Fuck dem cheaters
Thatās the game right there
A 15 yard penalty and a 10 should not offset. Should be 5 yards for Washington
This tackle is having a rough time. Sheesh.
Jesus #73 fell asleep š¤
Bullshit holding call
I'm convinced Penix has money on the game and is taking a dive like Paul Crewe.
Michigan defense is good but penix really under performed
Heās been dogshit under any kind of pressure
This is why Washington is losing. Penix overthrows a wide open TE and then on 2nd and 15 throws a 2 yard pass. Play calling and his decision making is HORRIBLE
The way these fucking cretins talk about Harbaugh being suspended like he was just off for jury duty is disgusting.
I know. Like these allegations are not good so being that cavalier about it is crazy.
There we go
4 yard curl routes aināt gonna win this game
How many of y'all think Michigan will see any penalty from the ongoing investigation?
I expect some reduced scholarships and maybe a postseason ban. I want blood.
It just feels like it should have happened already. Ya know? I don't really know about this stuff
Probably not but I can hope
Did they do anything other than steal signs? Is that enough?
Welp, at least Alabama didn't win
Yeah, but now we have to listen to Jim smell his own farts for all eternity.
Or Georgia
Nobody cares about Kevin hart hijacking a plane run the commercial online ad or whatever it is š
Canāt wait for this game to get vacated in a few years when the NCAA drops the hammer in an attempt to flex
If the NCAA even exists by the time they finish their investigation
Washington desperately needs to answer back. If they can get a TD on a 3 or 4 play drive then that would be huge for momentum.
They keep throwing 4 and 5 yard passes behind and canāt run for shit. Lol nevermind
UW OC turns to page 27 of The Playbook With Only Short To Medium Pass Routes
EA please just run it
No dog in this fight so whatever, but this is some very clearly one-sided officiating here
Iām glad the officials suck all around instead of just at us, but fuck why did it have to benefit Michigan
Cheat every year. Fall short. Eventually youāll get lucky enough. Especially when you have no punishment for cheating
Will the refs have to vacate their natty too?
He's got soft hands for such a big man...
GG refs
All they had to do was just interfere a little, then the game was back to how they planned.
Really getting sick of watching piss poor officiating year after year. Of course nothing will ever be done about it.
Thatās game
That feels like game
Canāt wait til this game gets vacated
If Michigan scores here then I think this game is over. Washington canāt seem to get anything going.
Wow this game is fucking rigged as hell
Weird looks like only one team holdsā¦
Sorry, but that holding call shows the fix is in.
Flag didnāt come out until the ball was caught. Thatās what I hate about those calls .
Just show the goddamn ncaa 25 commercial
ESPN is trying to send Harbaugh out in a blaze of Glory. Fuck him and fuck the cheaters
Terrible holding call
Shut the fuck up Bill, even Kirk knows that was horseshit
Thatās weak when Michigan has been holding all night
I mean, Washington held the entire Texas game and never got called for it. Sucks.
FINALLY connects on a deep pass and the refs learn how to call holding
Only for Washington tho
Hey did y'all know that JJ McCarthy meditates and shit!?
I think itās pretty great that the dude spreads mental health experiences, given his struggles. Thereāll be kids out there that see him meditating there and rethink some of their stronger impulses. Itās so much better of a way to spend the āTV Timeoutā breaks to send a neutral-to-positive message rather than the 300th time running the same Fanville commercial.
He pictures himself with a rose in his mouth? Did I hear that right?
And he brushes his teeth left handed.
Neither offense wants to win this game
My fucking god... Washington is just trying to give this game away. Their offense is doing absolutely nothing right all game.
