A good morning to reflect on college football

[MiloMorai]

Looks like another blow out in Kali (Rose Bowl).

One has to be crazy to spend, for an average price of $880 to see the game live. It is another $480 for the Champ game.

Ohio State.....record last 4 years 50 wins 4 losses.  As of now OSU has the highest ranked recruiting class for 2016.

Michigan is going to be the Michigan of old with Harbaugh at the helm.

Looking good for at least these two B1G schools.

Quite frankly I don't know how anyone could have ranked Iowa 5th with its' lack of athletes and weak schedule.

MSU and Iowa were doomed to fail before they played their bowl games.  Not enough athletes on either team.

Well my upset picks totally backfired yesterday.

I am at least happy that OSU took care of business in the Fiesta Bowl. I wish things would have worked out better and that OSU was in the CFP as I feel that we would have been the best team to represent the conference. It is what it is. But Notre Dame is always a good matchup so no complaints there. TTUN had Florida's number today as well. Maybe the B1G will go back to the days of old where OSU and TTUN are the top two teams followed by everyone else in the conference? Or am I just jynxing myself again? We shall see.

Good luck to Clemson and Alabama today as they square off in the National Championship Game.

Also, congratulations to Ohio State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Minnesota.

Any folks out there think Michigan quarterback Rudock will make it into the NFL?

His stats are impressive.  I hope he makes it.

[Plazus]

Good question, Brooke. I thought that Rudock did pretty well given the transitional change between schools and a brand new coaching staff. I think he is in good position to be a decent backup quarterback at the very least. I don't see him shattering records or playing as starter for the long term in the NFL but I could be wrong. If Rudock can strengthen his body some more and improve his football IQ, I don't see why he couldn't be a starter at some point in his career. It does help that he is familiar with the pro-style offense.

who knows he really looked impressive toward the end, at the start of the year he was defiantly not a NFL calibre QB, end of year I'd say atleast a career backup kinda guy. I dont think hell be drafted or if he is its 5th or 6th round(and we all know what happend last time a Michign qb was picked 6thh round)

Heh!  Actually, there is something about how Rudock has been playing that reminds me of Brady playing as Wolverine quarterback.  I wonder if Rudock could be really amazingly good.  People haven't given him that much notice, but he did about 2400 yards a year at Iowa, and then over 3000 at Michigan, with very good pass completion percentage.  He did fabulously against Florida, which going into the game had one of the best defenses in college football, with many players on defense destined for the NFL (including pass defenders).

if he could accurately throw the ball 20 more yards...i dont think michigan ran a food fly route after utah.  other than that i could see him as a back up that will have to earn his way, he wont be given much.

Did you wacth the last 3 games brah? Did you watch the last game when  the Burned VH3 the second time? Rudock started hitting the deep stuff. That being said QBS have been know to win the Superbowl without terrific downfield passing..

[Brooke]

I think he can already.  There are plenty of accurate long passes in this series:

The Indiana game is where it all seemed to finally 'click'

At least 8 Buckeyes are going in this years NFL Draft.  All early round picks.

Reloading for next year now.

I suspect Ohio State will be fine since they have had excellent recruiting classes.
