The College Football Playoff Semifinals are finally here. Before we get to 2023, we will know one if not both of the teams that will be playing for the National Championship.
The #2 Michigan Wolverines face the #3 TCU Horned Frogs semifinalists in the College Football Playoff Championship at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
TCU is the Cinderella of the season. According to Caesars Sportsbook, the Horned Frogs entered the season with a 200-1 odds to win the national title, the longest odds of any player in the semifinals. This is the longest odds ever for a semi-final.
This game may be full of points. TCU leads the Big 12 in scoring (40.3 points per game), yards per game (473) and yards per pass attempt (8.8). Michigan can score as well. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Michigan finished the regular season with a plus-point difference of 347, the best in a regular season since 1905.
