My guess is if that happens there's a good chance Fats takes the best job offer he can get and we're all horrified when he leaves for something that feels like a lateral move.
So since we deal in hypotheticals now, in this one we're playing Michigan in the Fiesta. Win or Lose? We know Georgia wins the whole thing no matter what, so do any of Michigan's players who came back go pro after reaching Natty (assuming they beat us)?
I like to imagine in this world Michigan wins Fiesta but loses to Georgia, our guys all come back cause they want one more shot, but Michigan loses some of their senior talent. Then in 2023, because Michigan is slightly weaker, tOSU beats Michigan. Ryan Day in the Rose Bowl as an undefeated team doesn't come through against Bama, and then we play Bama for Natty in Houston. We win Natty, Saban retires and who coaches where?
That's probably the ideal. It's kind of crazy that basically in any previous era this year still would have been a natural national title game Michigan/Washington since that would have just been the Rose Bowl pre-BCS then the championship game during the BCS era.
