Kansas State's 3-3-5 defense gave up 35 unanswered points today. I'm not decrying the potential of this defense, but I wouldn't use the Sugar Bowl as an illustration of its prowess.

Who was talking of the prowess? How would you judge TCU D so far?

Well, they've given up 38 points, with 9:00 left. Here's a news flash. TCU plays 5 Down linemen, not the 3-3-5, any time Michigan is inside the TCU 10-yard line. They also sub a LB for a safety on 3rd and short, making their alignment a 3-4. So many of you just stick to a narrative, and don't even look at the defensive alignments before commenting.

As the announcers stated early in the game........ almost all teams use a 3-3-5 alignment at times in a game, but TCU uses it as their base defense. But they also use other alignments when the play dictates it.

Last, Michigan is the most over-rated team in the top 10. They nearly lost to Illinois, and the Big Ten was as weak as it has been in years.
 
TCU wins! Awesome game to watch. I was switching between ESPN and 2 and U for the different angles. Top notch production.

And I guess some good teams do run a 3-3-5 after all, haha!

I think either of these teams is going to get crushed by Georgia

I disagree. I think TCU will beat Georgia(if they win)

I see Georgia beating OSU but, not by much. Maybe 1 td. I could also see OSU winning by 2 tds + though. SEC was way overrated this year. They've got smoked throughout the bowl games. Other than 2 of the teams? I think.

Why don’t you just admit you were wrong and stop making excuses. Michigan did better passing. Got stuffed running except one play. Mich averaged 3.5 per carry except for the long run. Mich averaged 5.6 rush this season. Run pretty much shit down by 3-3-5 today.

They gave up over 500 yards of offense. Funny as hell you think that's a great performance.

Funny how you can focus on what I said. 3-3-5 was tough in run D. And beat mighty Michigan. Huge win. People who say 3-3-5 can stop a. Running team were proven wrong tonight.

Our course, you wouldn’t know because you never played the game. Just a big mouth.

Michigan was one of the top dogs this year. How many people even thought TCU would have a chance? I'm pretty confident that Michigan would handle Georgie. You think great teams aren't going to have success? Their W/L record is what is for a reason. Go check Michigan's offensive stats against most teams and get back to us. Probably one of Michigan's best teams ever and 3-3-5 defense came in and got TCU a trip to the Championship.

You're acting like TCU just played Wyoming or something....

Why don't you just admit that you lied about being at this game? You said it was sunny while tailgating. But it was cloudy all day long, with scattered showers throughout the valley. Nobody attending this game would post on a college athletic site while at the game. You just make yourself look more foolish all of the time.
 
3-3-5 to the CFB championship. Can’t explain that away. Just the facts. Favorite non-Griz game (different category in my mind) I watched all year.

Rosie, it was sunny today, with a few clouds. Nice day overall and warm in the sun. Hoops was right.

You know how many people actually are on their phones during these kind of games?? Numerous. People post all over social media while at games. It's kinda normal if you're into social media(most people are)

It was sunny at the tailgate at the stadium. Want to bet me $1,000? Almost everyone posts on phones at games, except old guys like you. Let me know on the bet. Growler, you have really lost it.
