LSU has no offense and Bama has the best defense in the nation. Easy matchup. A&M has a good young coach but will have to recruit some defense to compete in the SEC. Bama will beat them easily. The only real entertaining matchup for the Tide is Oregon. They can spread you out and score. As I said, and I firmly stand by it, if Bama loses, it will be because they beat themselves. And with the best coach in college football, I seriously doubt that will happen.

In his brief pro-career with the Dolphins, he was average, never made the playoffs, had mediocre talent. At Alabama, he basically gets his pick of the best players available in the country ... Les Miles could win a National Championship with those teams, so could Brady Hoke ... so could you, so could I. Nick Saban's a good coach, but IDK if I'd say he's the 'best' ... he has the best situation, maybe. |

Re: Auburn ...
Alabama is impressive again this year with a different set of players.
The level they played at last year in the National Championship was just ridiculous, they would have beaten anybody that day. |

Re: Auburn ...
I was a little concerned about a drop-off this season, given all the talent we lost. But the defense remains tough as ever, and the offense seems to be moving the ball even better than last year.
I hate to be boastful - "pride goeth before a fall," and all that - but we've got a damned good squad. It will be a disappointment if we're not in the title game (and winning it, of course!). |
