Texas gave up 9 sacks to Oklahoma. 9 sacks Yolo. I'm not so sure that Texas is ready to play against the big boys in the SEC OR the Big 10. Clemson kicked ass. I am not going to make excuses. They had a GREAT and deep defensive line, in addition to all of the other good players. They were WAY too much for the Alabama OL. This might not be the case this year but we shall see.

Is MSU any good? It would appear not but I don't know.

You make sense and unlike some of the teams listed above, Georgia has a tough schedule. The hardest teams for me to rate at this point are the Big 10. Who have Wisc. and OSU played to this point that are any good? Michigan State? Please. I am NOT saying that OSU and Wisc. are not fine teams. I am saying that a clearer picture will emerge when they start to play against good teams. I suppose that the same could be said about Alabama, although Texas A&M is much better than most would probably rank them. They have what is probably the toughest schedule in the NCAA and are starting to get hit with injuries.

I don't think so at all. In fact, it appears to me that Alabama exposed the Big 12 last year when they clobbered Oklahoma who at the time had a clearly superior QB to Hurts.

This assumes that he was ever going to be any good. It really is. This is why I want Rosen to play. Fitz did the best he could for the Bills and appeared to be a good guy.

I hope that you are right but a Bama win seems to be far from a given. The biggest edge that the Tide has over LSU is the head coach. Well, the QB and the receivers aren't so bad either but the game is by no means a sure win for Alabama.

Of course. Alabama still has to play at least 2 (perhaps even 3) excellent teams. They can lose, absolutely. Clemson played a good Texas A&M and has a game left with a good (but not at all great) South Carolina team. Oklahoma feeds on week sisters. Do tell, why didn't you include Ohio State in your post? They have some tough games remaining. Do you view Ohio State as 100% unbeatable?

My years of watching college football have taught me that teams with a great offensive or defensive line are very hard to defeat. Georgia is said to have the very best OL in the NCAA. I watched South Carolina play against Bama and they are good. Should Georgia have lost that game? No freaking way. Fromm? He is a very smart game manager. He doesn't have Josh Allen talent but you can win with guys like Fromm in college. I'm not going to kick Georgia while they are down. As you well know, good teams can have bad games. Georgia lost to a team that they should have beaten. Let's see what happens down the road. They might be OK. I don't think that many teams outside the SEC could beat Georgia. Do you?

LSU is very good virtually every year. Of course they are capable of beating the Tide IF everything falls into place. I have an idea.....give us a list of who LSU couldn't possibly beat...…. Let me guess.....Penn State? Ohio State? ?

Any pro team can beat any college team, no problem. This is a given. That said, the bolded was a rather dumb comment. I dare say that they generally play pretty well.

I am a HUGE Crimson Tide Fan who thinks that they would lose but your post is enough to close this thread. The bottom line is that it would take a similar miracle. Nice post!

2-2 in their last 4 meetings. Who is your favorite team?

The bolded is very true, but I really do not think that the Tide could beat a pro team. Both of their starting ILBs are out for the season and freshmen are in there. A 5 star and a 4 star but they are just kids. Pros would be just too tough for them.

Absolutely, because he is the GOAT, and not even Bryant comes close. Saban has the same number of titles in half the time. Texas offered him 10 mil per year several years ago and told him that he could fill in the number of years. His wife wouldn't let him sign with them. Terry Saban is in charge of that household.

This is true. Saban has an easier time keeping players in line because if they don't listen to him they will lose HUGE money. Saban can toss a player off the team, any player, and not get fired. If he WAS fired, he would have another offer in 10 seconds. Other parts of being a college coach are difficult nonetheless. I heard a Bama player say he was the best at his high school, if not his entire state, and when he got to Alabama, so was everyone else. In any event, I think that the phish would beat the Tide. Pros are too tough and experienced for college teams.

Well, Ohio State gave up about 700 points to Iowa and lost, but they were still pretty good.

All 4 of them?

Saban also asked for Brees and was given Dante Culpepper. And he brought Bellichick's defense from #30 to #2 in Cleveland as DC. That said, Alabama would have no chance against Miami. They have lots of players who will make the NFL, and Miami got rid of their most talented players (including Minkah Fitzpatrick) but they would still beat the Crimson Tide. I will say this.....if Bama had a professional offensive line, the phish could not cover their receivers imo.

OK but look at the zip his passes have on the last 5 yards of a deep through. Often this is a better indication of arm strength than pure distance.

Josh is still much lacking in experience. What he DOES have is an absolute cannon for an arm. That said, he does not have a legit deep threat which would certainly loosen up opposing defenses, and in that sense even help the ground game. The Bills are very close to being a complete, balanced football team. Josh is gaining experience and when he gets a deep threat, anything is possible. Not so sure. We have 1 loss. How many would we have if we kept McCoy? None, or more than 1?

I pray for you to experience a full and speedy recovery.

He also might be someone who is not quite able to cope with the way his life went down in terms of the hardships that he did endure. Calling him a name might be oversimplification, or so I think. I suppose that he is right. I'm not going to argue with him. ?

In retrospect, he was a very good player but a poor draft choice. I wanted Marcel to do well as much as anyone on this board. And yes, he was misused by Rex, who had him in coverage, or even standing still and jumping around like a useless 350 pound penguin. It was disgraceful. But, the truth is; many people are softened by money. If I had 50 million dollars in my pocket, I can't say for sure I would want to get together with a bunch of violent genetic mutants, play professional football, and suffer life long serious injuries. The man has many serious problems that I hope he solves. He never was a bad guy. I don't want to imply that the weed in itself was bad either. No, it was/is the lack of discipline. He did what he had to do under Coach Saban to get through and make the money. In the NFL you are pretty much on your own and are treated like an adult. Marcel, with his emotional problems from a life too tough for many of us to imagine, was clearly not ready for this. I hope he has some money left, gets therapy, and has a happy life. Again, Marcel Dareus is not a bad guy. No way.

We don't make a party out of lovin', We like holdin' hands and pitchin' woo. We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy, Like the hippies out in San Francisco do. I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, A place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down by the courthouse, White Lightnin's still, the biggest thrill of all.
