So there is a tie with @TUcandoit and the Mighty Mighty Chieftains. Coming down to the championship game and possibly the tie breaker score.
All four of the top pickers missed TCU, but picked Georgia. Do they get to pick the winner after those games were over, or do they not get to pick the championship game, because they missed TCU? Or if they picked Georgia over Michigan, then do they get credit if Georgia beats TCU?

They get to pick the winner of the championship game. It’s a whole separate thing and it doesn’t follow the bracket like the NCAA tourney
Will depend on whether or not TCU gets their RB back for the 'ship. That kid is a stud and him going out almost derailed TCU's chances in that game. I think we've seen that good offensive schemes will win over good defenses these days. Georgia's defense is, IMO, the best, fastest, and most complete in the country...and Ohio State made them look pedestrian for long stretches of the game. And I actually think TCU has the advantage at QB in this one. Bennett may be CFPs version of Trent Dilfer. Manage a game and don't make mistakes. He's good but there's no wow factor like Stroud or Bryce Young, or the kid from Michigan. He's a winner...and there's something to be said for that. Can TCU keep UGAs WRs and RBs in front of them? That will be the key #1 to this game. #2 is can TCU keep UGA off balance enough and use their speed and over pursuit against them? Dykes' offense is usually pretty good at that stuff.
We'll see. For the 1st time in many moons, this game has my interest. 1 because Bama and Clemson aren't a part of it, and 2 because neither coach is a complete ass hat with an ego the size of the state they represent...at least they don't come off that way. Plus, TCU being there should give hope that a smaller private school has a chance to compete at the highest level.
TCU defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie on his time at TU: 'We had to go through the School of Hard Knocks'
When Philip Montgomery hired his longtime friend in 2015, it set in motion a journey for Gillespie that continues with the chance to win a national title Monday night.
Well the top two in the standings picked different teams so we don’t have to go to a tie breaker.
Congrats to @TUcandoit for winning the challenge this year.
We all are. Thats why we don't have a job in sports media and are not billionaires lol
