Stock Up/Down: C.J. Stroud saves his gutsiest performance for last, Jim Knowles' defense surrenders another offensive explosion and TCU stomps out Michigan's national title hopes.
Michigan’s ticket to the national championship game was all but punched ahead of the Fiesta Bowl. Most assumed the Wolverines would await the winner of Georgia-Ohio State, which was considered the more contentious semifinal matchup of the two.Max Duggan and the Horned Frogs just kept making big plays on both sides of the ball in a back-and-forth barnburner that saw 69 combined points scored in the second half alone.
Mercifully, the 2022 semifinals flipped the script. Each game was a razor-close, high-scoring affair that came down to the final seconds of play, and the two contests were decided by a total of seven points. TCU-Michigan and Georgia-Ohio State delivered to the highest order, bringing excitement and unpredictability back to the first round of the CFP and giving fans two of the most memorable semifinal matchups in playoff history.
OK, OK, I know. Purdue got the bloody hell beaten out of it by LSU, Illinois lost and both Big Ten teams lost in the CFP. But alas, silver linings.Florida State endured five straight seasons of seven wins or less entering 2022, but with a 35-32 win over Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl, the Seminoles notched their first 10-win campaign since 2016. Holding the No.
Knowles’ scheme may simply require more time to take root, as it did at previous stops at Duke and Oklahoma State, but that won’t make this year’s end-of-season results any easier to stomach for Buckeye fans.
