A lot of people point at the A&m game. Had yeldon not fumble near the goalline, this would not be an issue. Oregon doesn't gave a mike Evans to create mismatches.

Alabama would be favored by 3 on a neutral field

Oregon would win by 7

Bama's DL would also cause problems for Oregon's OL, who are also undersized for their positions. Oregon's game is all finesse and timing based, so Bama neutralizes that with their own speed and far more physical play. This is the same way other prior SEC teams have handled Oregon.

It would be the same song and dance for the school of Donald Duck. Bunch of hype and flash, but no substance. Smash them in the mouth and disrupt their timing schemes and they fold like a wet blanket. For all the hype they've gotten over the past 10+ years, where are their national championships? Nowhere. They always lose the 'big' games, an annual fraud.



So all of a sudden Washington was not a big game?  All hype and schemes? Hilarious. How much  have you lost fading Oregon this year? Better wager more units, you dumb arse.

American businessmen--the corporate suits--won't give us this game. Ithink Alabama will cruise thru the SEC, but Oregon has a tough game vs UCLA who they have to beat twice. Either way, the selection committee will want to match up Bama into a winnable contest--say Clemson or Louisville.

Wrong they want Bama and Oregon. That is the match up that will get the most ratings. Like Notre Dame and Bama last year that was a big match up for TV and ratings. The worst thing for them is to have happen like the last 3 Bama championships. Bama get out to a huge lead and the other team have no chance of coming back. Thats when people turn the channel if they are not fans of the teams playing or huge football fans.

Bama is a 3 point favorite on a neutral field right now. They would cover that line. I do not think Oregon will get to the game they still have to play 3 games they can lose and I think they will lose one of them. Say what you want about Stanford losing but they have the ducks number right now. They also have to play a tough UCLA team. Bama has LSU left and play them at home. I think the winner of the game this weekend between FSU-Clemson will get to the championship game but there is still alot of football left to play. Being an Alabama fan I would love to see Bama and Oregon play. I do think it will be the same as the other times Oregon has played a top 2 SEC team and they lose.

During the A&M game Saturday night they said that if Bama played Oregon on a neutral site Vegas would list Bama at -3.  They didn't say anything about a total. 
Would have to agree with this line.  Same situation as a few years back when Auburn with Cam played Oregon.  Tigers were -3 in the title game.

People fail to realize that without a fumble on the 1 yard line, Bama is winning that game by 21 in the 4th quarter.

What we have learned over the last 7 years, is that at the end of the day, defense rules over any type of flashy, gimmicky, video game type offenses.

Oregon doesn't know what it's like to play big boy football, and I pray to god this is the NC game, because it will set up a GREAT wager on Bama at a line that should be higher than it will be due to perception.

UCLA already won the Pac 12 south?  you mean ASU just quit and the invigorated USC team just packed up for the winter?

come on man, stop making it a foregone conclusion that UCLA will win the south.  they'll likely lose at Stanford sat and WILL lose at Oregon next week if Mariota does not get hurt.

stop.  please.  let the season play out.
