Alabama is not the same team

[upperdeck]

I know people are writing it off already.

they are the best team but I dont think the D is nearly as good as the past ones. A&m moved the ball, UL threw for 250 before people knew how bad they were, Ark scored 30, LSU couldnt do anything and stayed in the game . Clemson has the lines to compete and Tua is not nearly the beast at QB some make him out to be.

HOT TAKE, HOT TAKE!!!!!!

Yeah, I don’t think so. There is Bama and then everyone else. Clemson is in a tier 2 by themselves also but there is a gap between them and Bama.

Are you saying we could beat them in the first round of the playoffs and face Clemson in a rematch for the NC?

Yikes, I watched that game at LSU and saw just ridiculous talent everywhere for Bama. Their WR's are huge, fast, strong. Tua is fantastic, and their RB's are running fresh like its August, because they barely even have to use them. As for their defense, they held LSU, which throttled Georgia to -3 yards rushing through 3 quarters, and running is what they do better than almost everyone in the country. They completely manhandled the #3/4 team at their place. They are unstoppable this year. Truly. Clemson/Michigan are the only ones with a shot. Maybe Georgia shows more than they have all year in the SEC title game and keeps it somewhat close.

They haven't broken a sweat this year. They have won with some absolute shitbag QBs none of whom were good individually just were the equivalent of Trent Dilfer on the Ravens Saban finally has a QB. They might be better than people think (as in none of their last few games Auby, SEC CG, Playoffs) are close. The 2 close games vs Clemson was only because DeShaun Watson was the vastly superior QB to whomever Bama played.

I agree that their D can be had, but Tua is very special. If his knee holds up, their O would put up 65 against us. We could easily put up 30 on their D.

Are you being paid to promote the playoffs?

Actually we'll know for sure soon enough. Their final 3 games may very well be a Georgia team who has hit their stride, a Michigan team who as the best defense in the country and an offense that's improving every week, and a Clemson team that has the next best defense and a good offense.

They will have earned it.
