Personally, I think OSU gets housed. The stage will be too big for Cardale, and I am not sold on the Big 10 anyways. Big 10 probably is the weakest out of the P5 conferences. OSU struggled with multiple teams that just flat out aren't very good. I wasn't sold on OSU before the Wisky game, and hell, I am still not after it.

Give me Saban with a few weeks to plan on how to confuse and pressure the shit out of Cardale.

Man, I don't know what Big 10 Championship game you were watching, but Cardale is one big, cold-blooded killa. I saw nothing but focus and no emotion. OSU's O-line is big enough to give him some time, he'll shred Bama's weak secondary (ranked 60th). I'm gonna go out on a limb without looking it up, but I'm thinking Meyer's bowl record percentage is better than Saban's.

Doesn't Bama lose something like 10 starters on offense next year? Not that it matters. They'll be back next season appearing not to miss a beat. Must be effing nice....

It depends on how many underclassmen go pro. I cannot see more than two or three going pro. Cooper will. Yeldon probably will. 'Bama will lose 5-6 starters on offense but it will not matter. The entire SEC gets hit hard. They will not be nearly as good as they were this year, and this year was ceertainly questionable.

Meyer's record is much better. 9-2 vs 8-7. Those are for major bowls. The new OSU QB is a one game wonder. Watch how 'Bama's defense forces him to throw the ball.

The crescendo for these play-off games is really picking-up (a promoters dream come-true). For those that feel a (4) team play-off
is sufficient.....don't be so sure . I could see an (8) team play-off where a (7 or 8) seed would eventually knock-off one of the top-
seeds. That would really be something.....the "pucker-factor" would really set-in.

Well, after what I saw when he threw the ball against Wisky, I'd be worried as a Bama fan. That kid has a cannon with a laser on it. Got to keep in mind also what the OSU D did to Gordon. Granted, I'm not entirely certain I can't throw the ball better than Stave, which gave Bucky D less to worry about, but Sims isn't exactly world beater away from home.

We will see. Doing it against another scrub Big 10 team doesn't really impress me. He may go out there and kill it against Bama, but I need more than one game against another Big Ten school as proof.
