That would make sense if you think that Georgia and TCU are at a similar level when they’re playing at their best. Of course, most people would realize that isn’t true. Georgia is leaps and bounds better than TCU, and proved it.
Perhaps true, but TCU made it to the championship game and no other team did. Georgia is not 58 points better than TCU, in any event. And, while I think, and thought all along, that Georgia was the best team, I also think the 2 teams are on a somewhat similar level.
TCU beat Michigan by a few points the prior week, and Michigan had beaten Ohio St. 45-23 at Ohio St. Georgia beat Ohio St. by 1. That tells me these teams are closer than you think. And, again, that Georgia had a great game, and TCU had a bad game, on Monday.
Which generally supports my point that teams don't always play great, or even well, in big games.
