Wahoos, are you trying to jinx Bama? Lol...
Very nice posts in here buddy.. I agree 100% that TCU was the best team last year and would've put a beaten on Bama or ANYONE else at the end of the year!! They were the hottest team in the nation at the right time for sure! Now this year, Baylor should be top 4 !! They showed last week they are a really good team and they played very good defense! The QBs getting hurt are concerning, but if Stidham is a go, then that team is a top 4 team NO DOUBT.!! Mich St will get a bump for beating tOSU, but wtf did they beat? OSU has been a fraud all year long.! Now they lose and Mich St is this crazy good team? At least with Bama you can see the dominance on defense, with Mich St it looks more like the other team effin up! Kinda like ND in 2012.. MSU will be a lay up for Bama, Clemson, OU, Baylor... If you want the 4 best teams, that will challenge each other, 2 of them are in the Big12.. OU & Baylor.!! ND and MSU are not gonna beat those 4 teams above, sorry, just have no shot.

I hope all your cows die of mad cow disease. Haha....
This is my favorite week of the year. The State of Alabama is always fun this time of year with major shat talking and crazy bets. I know it's kinda lop sided this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if ole Gus pulled a rabbit or 2 outta his arse. The Iron Bowl NEVER goes the way you think it will.. This reminds me of 2009, when AU had zero chance, and Bama had to make a final drive to win the game.. Maybe we see a good game? But that Bama defense is filthy, and normally defenses don't get out of synch like offenses do? What you say you cow tippin sister fukers.? Lol

The decision to schedule and play any opponent is strictly decided at an institutional level. In fact, there is an SEC program that plays no FCS-level opponents this season (Florida). This policy is not just within the SEC, but among most FBS conferences. What is mandatory of SEC schools moving forward? Starting next season, they must all schedule an out-of-conference game versus a Power 5 opponent. Also as of next season, among Power 5 conferences, only the SEC and ACC will play 8-game conference schedules, while the others have moved on to 9. Nick Saban is currently the only SEC coach in favor of transitioning to a 9-game conference schedule. You also specifically cited the Pac-12....and if you fact-checked your comment, you'd notice multiple Pac-12 teams have suited up against FCS schools this season. Some folks don't think deep enough to understand the impact of removing FCS schools from their schedules. If you care about football (at any level), the state of the game, and the quality of competition across all ranks, you'd be wise to encourage the funding of these programs and their athletic departments by FBS Power 5 programs with the big checks they receive for travelling to powerhouse programs. If you don't care about the little guys being able to play football, you should. Ever been to the College Football Hall of Fame? As soon as you walk in, there's a huge wall with 700 or so helmets. That's how many colleges play football at all levels in this country. They all contribute to the pool of talent that eventually filters to the men we watch on Sunday. If you care about the state and health of the game, you'd support the notion that the quality of play depends on this entire system. It's what is ultimately good for the game. Got off topic there for a minute, and I'm not trying to be a dickk or a smartasz, but you were blatantly incorrect in your claims and my honest assessment is you just fired those statements off at the hip. I know you are a knowledgable fan, but comments like these are what spreads confusion and fuels ridiculous debates in this forum. No...I'm not an "SEC guy." I've been a huge fan of this game at all levels my entire life and believe in educated discussion. Wow..... Tremendous post! Thank you

I mean they gush over Clemson but they played a 4-6 Wofford, 3-7 Ga Tech, 3-7 BC, 3-7 Syracuse and their last 2 games are against 3-7 WF and 3-7 SC. Wow.. That's eye opening and you can see why the committee respects Bama so much. Good find and thanks for posting.

CGM always calls a good game vs Bama. Also nothing would be sweeter to the AU players than to knock Bama out of the playoff. I think CGM will find ways to beat Bama to the edge and take some deep shots. Also there's always crazy kick returns, INT returns, fumbles, you name it, in the Iron Bowl. I think Bama wins but don't cover the spread. I also think this will be Muschamps best job this year. Coker will need a great day to score points. This game could resemble 2009 ? But if Bama plays focused defense like they have been playing, and AU plays offense like they did vs UGA, then this game could get ugly for AU. But that doesn't happen much in the Iron Bowl. Haha.

I agree 100% with your list and rankings. The BIG and ACC are not good this year, but the top 2 teams in those conferences are {Clemson and Ohio St}.. That's why I believe a 1 loss team from the top 3 conferences you listed will get the nod over a 1 loss from the last 2. Nicely done kind sir.

Recent history between the 2 teams screams under 21, but this could be negated by a very difficult game, and the nearly flawless performance by Alabama last week. It may be nearly impossible to duplicate that type of intensity and execution in back to back games. I'm passing this one, but 100% rooting for you. Great picks, Great logic, and Good luck. Shirley I will say this, Dak is gonna play very well I think -BUT- with no run game, they will have to play careful and pick their spots.. If you want to beat Bama, you need to control the clock and keep the game close in the 4th quarter. 2 things Dan Mullen knows to be fact 1) he's not going to blow Bama out. 2) he's not gonna run with any success.. So how's he gonna win? Control the clock and field position and don't turn the ball over. If Dak can throw the ball between 25-35 times and have some 3-4-5yrd QB runs, then State has a great shot in winning this game.. On the other side, Saban knows 2 things for a fact 1) his offense has been terrible in this game since he's been there 2) a close 4th quarter game will make his team nervous.. This means Saban will want to control the clock and score , score, score.. With both teams wanting to control the clock, and Miss St being 1 dimensional, I'd say a 17-14 / 20-13 / 24-20 / 27-21 type game is way more probable than a 31-24 is.. This is gonna be another war in the trenches.. And Saban will blitz a ton in this game. He will also play a lot of combo coverage like he did vs A&M to force State to drive the entire field and earn it, no cheap ones.. So this could be a lot of FGs type game. I have a very bad feeling about this game. Just seems like Dak is gonna have a Super Man type game. But I still feel the under is the best play in this game.

That said, I think Alabama's offense will also struggle to score. I think this game will look very similar to the Tennessee/Alabama game. The play here is UNDER!
Where is that girl from in your avatar? I've seen her before? She's a natural beauty!! I agree that this will look a lot like UT, but I also believe UT is a better team than MSU. State doesn't have a good run game outside of Dak. Even if they did, they ain't running on this defense anyway. Saban will mush rush him and force him out to one side where the LB spy will be. You'll see a lot of Rashaan Evans at LB in this game as a spy I think. He's fast as a RB and can get sideline to sideline quicker than Foster or Ragland. Saban has had Mullin figured out since he was at UF with Tebow.. The problem Bama has had vs MSU is the Bama offense has been terrible running against those monster DL. If that continues, Bama will be in a war deep in the 4th. I think the Under is the best play in this game, unless we can get MSU at 10.5.

Here's the thing, all these picks are ruining it for the MSU backers. Y'all need to pat Bama on the back and keep them talking about LSU and playoffs, but all the talk to Saban and the players so far is how "Bama has trouble with these types of QBs".. The spot is right, off a big win, but the media is not even talking about it, they've already put Bama on upset alert and that could've been a mistake! I'd be willing to take MSU 1st Q or 1st half. But I think that Bama defense wants to prove a point, like they did vs Dak last year, and shut him down. Also, if this MSU cover is going to happen, then the Bama offense needs to be terrible like they were vs Arky.. If that happens, then I can see it. But I don't see MSU getting north of 24 points max. That's a lot vs to his defense that is getting scarily better each week!

Nice pick last week on Arkansas Mr Mega.
I was also on those hogs and it was extra sweet because they beat the team that stood in the way of the Tide going to Atlanta. Now Bama just needs to handle Miss St and Auburn. I'm worried about Miss St and the spot Bama is in after the big win over LSU. The good part is, Bama didn't win that game late with heroics, and it was pretty much in hand the start of the 4th Q.. Also, Saban is the best at getting his team prepared week after week. The bad is, Dak is playing really good football right now. But can he escape this DL? I would be willing to take the 8 points and State right now, but I think we can get 10 by game time because the public and touts will boost this line up late like they did vs LSU and Ole Miss. The Tide has played their best ball on the road this year, but this is the exact spot where the offense sputters out each year trying to "not lose" and wins a close one. But another thing to consider, Saban has owned Dan Mullen since 2008 when he was at UF with Tebow and Urban. Tebow got the job done in 08, but since that game, Saban has shut Mullins offense down each year. This is probably a no bet situation, but just giving you my thoughts on the match up, what little I know anyway.. Haha, good luck and sorry for the novel

Wahoos, I know I said a week or so ago that OU would beat Baylor, that was just a guess really as I've only seen both teams play 1-2 games. But I do feel OU can stop Baylor run game, and possibly make enough stops with pressures on the QB .. On the flip side, I see know way that Baylor defense can stop OU.? Maybe I'm wrong, but that defense is really bad. They feed off being up a TD or 2 and forcing teams into "their" game and that's pas pass pass... I'm not saying their total garbage, I'm just sayin they will have trouble stopping another good offense. I think this game could be the best we have seen this year! I really liked the Clemson / FSU game. And the Bama / LSU game because they were defensive lead games. This game here will have more emphasis on defense than any other games these 2 teams have played!! I know that sounds stupid, and this is gonna sound even worse, but this is the games I like to play the under on.! The total should be very inflated and one of these teams, if not both, will try and control the ball a little more than normal. Maybe the 1st half under is better, because there's gonna be some really tired defenders on the field at the end of this one! I'm really looking forward to watching this one though. I kinda like OU to win still, but if everyone keeps toutin OU all week, I'm gonna roll with the Bears if it gets down to 3.. Ok, now you can laugh at me. Haha... Good luck this week Wahoos, I need it cause the NFL prison raped me yesterday:( I hope Jerry Jones gets Hepp C and that Cowboys defense gets a 45day long azz blazing stomach virus

Zero focus on this game for the Tigers as the season is basically over. No way this happens if Mizzou is in the top 25....these kids aint stupid.

Clemson dont want to account for so many play makers vs a Ohio st.... same goes for Ohio st... they would much rather play a Bama vs a Clemson... Clemson got tons of weapons. If Clemson makes the playoff.....PLEASE give us Bama Haha, if Clemson don't make the playoffs, they should "UAB" that program. Hahahahaha.... I'm hoping for the same game Boom Boom, but it looks like it will be in the finals because Bama will be #2 now and may go to #1 after the SECCG..

And call them "top" teams, then you gotta give Bama, UF, LSU, ect... The same love.. IMO, defense wins out nearly every single time.. It has been proven in the past, when an Elite offense faces Elite defense, the defensive team wins more than not.. My point in Bama losing their WR, was that they are getting better on offense and will be pretty good by the end of season.. If they can be good on offense with that Elite defense, then I don't see a team in the country that will beat em..

But Ohio St beat Bama on running the ball and playing better defense.. Everyone over looks the fact that tOSU had the best defense in the top 4 last year at that time of the season.. Defense wins championships IMO, and has been proven time and time again.. My point about Bama this year is the changes they've made to play better pass defense.. It all starts up front, and theirs not an OL in the country that can hold this Bama DL down.. None, zip, nada.... I know everyone wants to point to years past and prove Bamas deficiencies. But this is a new year, and they have a lot better cover guys and speed to play against those spread teams.. But it all starts up front.. Baylor for example runs the ball a lot, they need to run the ball to open up that elite passing game, what will happen if they are able to run the ball at -5 average and the QB has only 2-3sec to get the ball out? Then, do you think a team like Baylor is gonna keep Bama run game at bay? I use Baylor because IMO they have the best passing attack in the country.. But same goes for OKst, TCU, and others.. I don't think those teams could beat Bama.. Teams that I think have a shot are tOSU, Clemson, OU, and any other team that plays defense with a potent offense.. But to say Bama is not a top 4 team TODAY, is strange to me? But then again, I know folks hate the SEC and I understand that.. Haha... Thanks for the discussion Wahoos. Hope I made you LOL.. :) )
