maron Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Alas the Big Ten is the weakest of the Power 5 conferences, talent level wins out. Bama - 8 1/2. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHHEAD Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Alabama is still a well deserved top four team in the country, and still probably the best team in the nation, and still a well deserved number one seed.....but as stated the last six weeks, no other SEC team deserves a top ten ranking, and stated MISS ST was one of the most overrated teams during the course of the 2014 season on several occasions.

FISHHEAD Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 ....and to answer your question, I don't believe yesterday's performance should have little bearing on ones thinking on Alabama moving forward, well, I take that back, perhaps just a smidge.

maron Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 People making the mistake in interpreting a lower SEC into a stronger Big 10....B10 is still sad compared to the other in the Power 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHHEAD Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 People making the mistake in interpreting a lower SEC into a stronger Big 10....B10 is still sad compared to the other in the Power 5 I would take Ohio State over any SEC team except Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boatboatboat Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would take OSU with the #1 or #2 QB over Ala The #3............... um NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick McIrish Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 The last place SEC West team (Arkansas) would probably win any other conference but maybe the PAC-12. Certainly win the Big 12. That said these games are a match-up of teams, not conferences. Arkansas went 2-6 in the SEC, 4-0 outside it..... Ole Miss looked pathetic, so did a few more unmotivated SEC schools. Bowl games often come down to that, motivation, since everyone (players/fans/coaches) want to beat the SEC it makes them a good fade this time of year.... Obviously not in title games where the big boys have something to play for (8-1 last 9 years) but in all other games look to fade the SEC. Said it for years, it still applies. The most dangerous kid on the block is always the one with something to prove. PS - Gators will not be hungry against ECarolina either. Do with that what you will.

Patrick McIrish Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would take OSU with the #1 or #2 QB over Ala How about against VT? Never mind, I forgot they've already played. Amazing what we can come up with when using small 1 and 2 game samples...... And we move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Got Bama -7 (-120) for a bit .......... SEC has had a subpar bowl season for sure but for me doesn't mean Bama isn't a TD better then OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what we can come up with when using small 1 and 2 game samples...... And we move on. Would favor OSU with Barret after he had played 7-8 college games. In start #2............no way. Just like I dont give OSU much chance today with a QB making his 2nd start. OSU's #1 and #2 QB's are obviously better than ALabama's #1. After OSU's #3 has 8-10 starts under his belt he too will be better than Alabama's current #1. DEPTH like no other.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick McIrish Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Just so I read that right, this OSU team couldn't beat a VT team without an experienced QB? Wow. Didn't Wake beat them? Weren't they 3-6 or so in conference play!?? You may be right about QB's, I think Bama could just hand the ball off with a punter behind center and beat VT. I see why it crippled you guys, playing in the SEC though it's a physical conference, we don't use injuries as an excuse. That said, GL today. I need OSU to stay close, I think they can.

Guest boatboatboat Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 OSU wont stay close IMO Do you think ALa with their #3 QB making his first start could beat Wisc 60-0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick McIrish Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Probably not but I don't put much into 1 game samples. A team doesn't prove it's infallible nor is a team exposed in one afternoon. Nor a conference. It's more about the body of work. And yes I can see OSU staying close, just cover Cooper. Bama has been shut down on offense more than once, a 3rd string QB isn't going to hurt their defense. I like the under as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say "we" pat? Are you on the Alabama team? Did you play a part in their success? Coach, perhaps? Also i thought you liked Florida? Fans who root for entire conferences always boggled my mind. Would be like me as a Jets fan rooting for NE and chanting GO AFC EAST!! You give weinke and mr smith tons of crap for their ramblings on FSU (deservedly so) but you sound the exact same when you talk about any team or conference you support.

Haha, and the guy said in another thread "PS - didn't go to an SEC school, don't even like that conference." Sounds like he might the the 15th team from the SEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
