I think the Irish would score more points than Bama can. Their offense does not look good and Notre Dame has too many weapons on offense.

That isn't how the Bama roster is set up. Saban doesn't care if he only scores 14 points. As long as he dominates time of possession and his defebse stops the opponents from scoring.
Saban recruits the front 7, the O line, the secondary, then the skull positions. He almost builds his roster backward. Which is odd. But it obviously (when done right) is very successful

Bama's....watching this game I am not impressed. Bama is dropping easy interceptions...Tennessee almost sacked the Bama QB for a huge loss and their was obvious holding which was not called...
I think Bama's defense in a Playoff/bowl scenario is probably the best in nation. So much talent on that side of the this year especially in the front seven. ND would have a tough time establishing the run. I will be interested in whether or not LSU can get Fournette going against them.
IMHO Tennessee is on the same level as Virginia. Decent coaching, a handful of guys that will get drafted or signed as URFA, and a lot of heart when it counts. I'm not bending the knee to the SEC though. The rest of the country has caught up or is catching up...time for the 4 letter talking heads to do the same
Yes, it was on CBS...great reporting SALG! However, it's ESPN who bought the SEC network, who sets their own topic bars on radio and TV to boost their monetary investments, and who promote their employees to say a 3-4 SEC team is better than a 5-1 Big 12 team or there should be 4 SEC teams in the CFB playoffs.
Alabama barely beats a crap team, but will this victory will be looked at similarly as the breaking of the siege of Bastogne rather than what it is.
There are at least 4 big time ESPN dudes right now talking about how overrated Bama is. One even compared Bama to Iowa. ESPN people outside of those reporting for the SEC network have generally been critical of the SEC this year. It's a new Era man.
New era? The things I referenced happened last year. I'll buy into what you're saying when it's reflected in the polls (which it isn't yet hence them still making a big deal about the # of SEC teams in the top 25), or the "reports" from the playoff committee. Until then (and I do hope it is as soon as you think SAL) I will continue to internally and externally rampage against the SEC bias
It is interesting that Ole Miss was ranked 24th after losing to Memphis. Anyone else, they would have disappeared from sight.
Don't sleep on Memphis, the game between them and Houston will probably produce the best non-p5 team.
Exactly right. Bama has NFL talent on the offense, but saban doesn't care about big plays or 40+ points. In Savan's mind a 3 point lead is a 30 point lead.
Saban clearly does not value offense. How else can you explain hiring Kiffin to be OC?
