Bill from NYC

Unless you are already counting Alabama as in the playoff (I btw do not), I am going to have to do my best Bill Lumberg and go ahead and disagree. 29-0 against 3rd ranked LSU was pretty good, especially in light of the points they scored on Saturday. But as I said above, imo OSU would be a very tough game for the Tide.

Well, expanding the amount of playoff teams is a bad idea imo. Maybe if they do away with conference championships.....maybe. The teams that will play for the title this year will play 15 games. Don't you think that this is already excessive?

You do make sense. If you read my post that you answered, I said that I don't understand OSU. Allow me to add that at this point, I fail to understand the entire Big 10. I am NOT talking smack to you, but as an Alabama Fan the truth is that I would welcome a playoff game against UCF. In fact, the team that I am the most concerned about is Georgia, followed by OSU. The reason for this is that from my point of view, Bama is NOT a defensive team this season. They appear to be a good defensive squad with a truly exceptional offense. UCF seems to have given up a lot of points to lower rated teams. OSU, while shaky at times, has proven that they can score. Georgia seems to be a very good and balanced team. Could UCF compete with these teams? I don't know but it is certainly possible. Would they do well against Alabama? Sorry but I cannot visualize them doing so, but I have no wish to fight with you about this. Peace, and GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you think that Georgia is considerably worse than last year?

Georgia is tough and I know they can win, but I am having trouble figuring out how they will be able to cover our receivers. Now that Devonta Smith is healthy the Tide has 4 excellent receivers who are consistently open, a tight end who is also a deep threat, 4 top quality rbs (and at least 3 can catch), and a Heisman Trophy QB who can also run. This with a MUCH better than average offensive line. The Bulldogs are very good and we know how well coached they are, but I am looking at 31-17 Crimson Tide. Again, anything can happen.

Have you ever seen him play? The kid had the potential to be an absolute pro bowl lb. He was banged up a bit but has tremendous talent and is a predator (no pun intended). That said, I am in no way sticking up for his actions. There is zero reason not to believe the police officers on the scene. He has cost himself millions of dollars and I hope he is punished by the legal system if found guilty. Sad situation. How does it feel to be dripping with jealousy? Your furniture must be completely soaked.

Congrats to all Buckeye Fans! OSU is not an easy team for me to understand but they sure can score points, and in spite of the high scores and loss of Bosa; I can see some talent on their defense. I also want to welcome you to the Crimson Tide Fan Club, be it only for 1 week.

Congrats once again to the Crimson Tide. Tua and the receivers really put on a clinic this afternoon. I don't know, Is there any more doubt about who deserves the Heisman Trophy?

You are right, thanks.

Interesting. I never even considered the possibility that Bama has a bigger fan base than Notre Dame. Not ever. I see at least 10 Notre Dame shirts, hats, or jackets to every 1 that says Alabama. I would think that this would be the case in 48 other states, even down south whereas each SEC school has its own fan base.

Then why do people claim that Alabama gets special treatment? Don't you think that OSU, Michigan, Penn State, Texas, Notre Dame, and other teams have more of a following than Alabama? I believe that the networks would rather see any of the above teams in the playoffs along with some other teams than to have the nationally hated Alabama in there.....again. What say you?

I sure am proud of the ex Crimson Tide players for the way they played yesterday. Eddie Jackson was a freaking STEAL by the Bears; he just keeps scoring defensive TDs. Is there a safety in the league playing better than him? Oh and btw.....he was a (ahem) 4th round pick. True, he was coming off an injury but he is, and always has been excellent. It could be said that he sealed a national championship with his kickoff return against Clemson. Saban loved this kid and constantly raved about him, not a very common thing for Nick. Amari Cooper looks just as good as many of us claimed him to be. The man constantly gets open and he has been doing just that since college. Payne and Allen had a lot of tackles and assists for the Skins. Both also had a sack in the game. I wish we had some of these guys on the Bills.

LDAFRC = Let's Draft A First Round Corner

Watch out for Sternberger from Texas A&M.

Don't you mean a cornerback? After all, Marv Levy said that you can't have too many corners. If I owned the team and they picked a corner in round 1, I would rush up to the podium and fire the GM and the coach on national TV.

Brent had a crazy solo in "Aiko Aiko" and his ending was noteworthy.

I think that they peaked in 1989 at the shows in Buffalo, Wisconsin, and Philly. Jmo. Pooj, not the greatest video but check out John Kadlecik on lead.

1) Furthur - Jones Beach 2) James Taylor, also at Jones Beach.....he was flat out terrible and could not have been more boring. 3) Joe Jackson 4) Grateful Dead

They should certainly draft a QB next season, even if Allen is great. Remember what we paid for Rob Johnson who was a 4th round pick? If we draft a qb and he turns out to be good he will either play, or be worth his weight in gold in terms of future draft value.

I apologize. My response was meant for a different poster who mentioned The Citadel.

Why is your venom aimed only at Alabama? Seriously, why not Clemson? They played 1 game against a quality team. If you want to call Syracuse a good team, cool; lets make it 2. They won these 2 games by a combined 6 points. Who is it you want Alabama to play? If the answer is UCF, I would like that too! It would make a fine season opener. That said, their schedule isn't as easy as you make it sound. Some of those teams look a lot worse because they are facing the Crimson Tide.

Great stuff, thanks!

I'm not ready to agree or disagree.....yet. I do however think that a 1 loss Georgia or a 1 loss Alabama would be more deserving whereas they, IMO (I'm not talking smack or wanting to offend anyone) are clearly superior to any team in the Big 10, especially in terms of being a complete football team. I mean, how many 50 point games do those teams allow? Once again, this is JMO. It's an opinion, not an all knowing proclamation.

I'm sorry but I am missing the point you are trying to make. I'm sure it is me but where are you going with the above? Are you saying that OSU should or should not get in if they win out?

He seems like a very bright kid. I hope that he makes millions of dollars in the NFL.
