With Alabama dominating a favored Georgia team through the air and Baylor’s defense upsetting Oklahoma State, Championship week certainly brought us some surprises.
Starting with Baylor, their defense absolutely stymied what had been a decent Cowboys offense to that point and their offense did just enough to put the game away towards the end. Then, right after, Alabama’s wide receivers put on a clinic in what had been essentially the undisputed best defense in college football. The Crimson tide ended up largely cruising to a 41-24 victory. Meanwhile, Michigan, Utah and Pittsburgh all dominated in their games.
