    If Michigan Wins?

    Let’s borrow some trouble. If Michigan wins the NC and later has to vacate their games should the number two team be named? Or should they just vacate it like they did in 2004 when USC had to forfeit all their games? There was no NC that year. Oklahoma lost to USC and Auburn was the only undefeated team . Say the number two team has two loses and you still have an undefeated FSU? Then wha?
    Is this enough controversy to chew on?

    Disagree... Michigan beats Bama by 6 and Washington beats Texas by 17 to set up the last Big10/12/14/18 vs. Pac8/10/12/2 game.


    To answer OP, they aren't going to vacate wins for breaking a rule the NCAA stated provides little or no competitive advantage (In-person scouting) and which the NCAA considered removing all together in 2021... Even if they did vacate wins, see Louisville Men's Basketball 2013. I didn't see a 2013 National Title Banner hanging in Crisler Arena (Michigan's basketball arena) this past Spring. Vacated wins are dumb, when you go to the record books there is an asterik* and in some cases a school takes down a banner and maybe even gives up a trophy, but we all watched the game(s) and the players still have their rings.

    Doesn’t matter.

    Michigan will be deemed “the better team” even if they lose to Alabama, and move on to the Championship game.

    Or maybe vice-versa.

    When Michigan wins the Natty, it will be forever seared into my simple little mind, no matter what

    Then I will spend the next 365 days talking trash to all Alabama Elephant fans

    But not FSU fans, because the NC is tainted this year.

    Nobody knows. You'll have to ask all 13 committee members what their opinion is and they will give it to the team that looked the best on paper.

    The UAW will privide the Refs with Fully loaded Corvetts, fits since most refs are over 50, and Michigan wins the National Championship.
    The state of Michigan needs this boost as a state.

    Only if they throw in some Hawaiian print Tommy Bahama shirts and some New Balance Dad shoes.

    If they would have to vacate, then at least this could be an alternative trophy. Empty of course !ohio-brewery-releasing-special-edition-stealing-signs-beer-v0-Vtrgsq9jkxBGr6KGmDKjymRGJMCOeSCP9s.jpg

    Bama would claim it to give them an even 50.

    Why is it funny? Michigan has an abysmal bowl record. Last 20 years they are 6 and 14......with that said, I hope they win it all, but with Zinter out and McCarthy struggling throwing the ball, I highly doubt they beat Bama....

    One of the best hats ever made. Filson makes one similar that is waxed tin cloth with a wool liner, favorite hat ever.
