#1 Alabama vs #3 Ohio State

Florida and Ole Miss gave Bama the best games all season and Stetson Bennett played better against them than Fields did who would’ve guessed that.

I personally really like Saban. I hate Bama but respect the heck out of Saban.

Hard to argue that he might just be the best CFB coach of all time.

There's no doubt he's a good coach. Surrounding himself with the right pieces to be successful, development of players, and has his team always ready. I honestly like his passion, they can be 30 points, and a guy gets a flag, and he's as angry as if the game is on the line.

I honestly think had Lawrence been in the first time they played, they would have spanked them and theyd been out. They caught a break.

I agree with this 100%.

Plus the way they matriculate assistants and he keeps getting good replacements.

Can't hoard players the way The Bear used to. I can't think of any coach I'd put ahead of him

 

[TNHopeful505]

. Who else do you put in though? A&M? A team that didn’t even win their division and got blown out by Bama

I'd be interested to see if Clemson would have fared any better against Bama. I'm not sure they would have

 

[rjd970]

The simple truth is the only thing that can beat Bama is the rules.

And they don’t play by them and are governed by a different set than everybody else.

When it is this one sided and a run lasts this long, it is so far north of sigma that something that something else it at play.

I say this with all seriousness. I don’t know if Bama will lose another game under Saban. OSU can almost match them man for man and this isn’t even close.

This is not normal, and this is not fair. It isn’t even approaching an even playing field.

Not a catch

They wouldn’t have fared much better than Ohio St. I don’t think

True. He can plug anybody in on staff, abd still dominate.

Nothing bothers me more than a dude celebrating a TD when his team is down 4 TDs.

And the cherry on top is the fact that it's going to get overturned.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

No more scoring would be fine with me, now

Remember when we used to make fun of the Big 12 for those offensive shootouts. We have now entered that era but with better defense but no one will ever see it because the offenses are so dynamic.

. But surprisingly this will be Saban’s first undefeated team since 2009

Its a COVID year, this game doesnt count.

 

[feathersax]

Grit by Buckeyes. Still competing (though I've come to dislike that word).

 

[99gator]

The only difference between Texas A&M and the 3 other teams to make the playoffs not named Alabama is that Texas A&M had to play Alabama during the regular season.

I kind of think it popped up after he broke the plane. But yeah I agree with you. Hey look at me we just moved within 22 with under 9 minutes left. Lol

Problem is: the gap appears to be actually widening.

 

[rjd970]

Just a little salt....

We just paid our ex-HC $millions to go get a NC ring at our most historically hated rival.

Let that sink in.

[volinbham]

that's a shame

 

[volinbham]

that's a bs call

 

[kiddiedoc]

I just want to say "thanks" to you guys for the friendly chatter, giving me a much-needed break from my real world at work. Sucks that this is the last CFB game of the year. And, sucks that we have to watch two of my three least favorite teams in doing so

When you sign the number one class in seven out of the last eight years, you’re going to win a lot of games. Then when you add on the fact that they have they greatest coach in college sports history, you get what Alabama has become.
