About Last Night
College Football Playoff lives up to the hype
What a day of college football! In what was easily the best day of CFP semifinal action since the playoff was implemented, TCU won outright over Michigan as 8-point underdogs, while Georgia narrowly escaped against Ohio State thanks to a late missed field goal by the Buckeyes. It was the rare semifinal Saturday where both underdogs covered the spread fairly easily. Now, Georgia is an early 13.5-point favorite against the Horned Frogs in next Monday’s National Championship game.
First full Saturday of NCAAB conference play
Conference play has arrived, which signifies the start of the grind toward March Madness 2023. Saturday’s slate saw some wild results, including previously undefeated UConn falling to Xavier, Iowa State dispatching #12 Baylor, #4 Kansas surviving against Oklahoma State and #17 Texas beating Oklahoma by 1 point in Norman, among others. In all, it was a day that gave us a taste of what’s to come over the next couple of months.
