#2 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1)

Key Players

QB AJ McCarron

RB Trent Richardson

WR Marquis Maze

LB Courtney Upshaw

SS Mark Barron

Coach: Nick Saban

Pass Game: EVEN

Personally feel the most polished QB in this game is the player that will be playing the least, Lee. Jefferson came in during the Bama game and turned the tide of the game. He was the X-Factor that helped LSU win the game. AJ McCarron won't be asked to do much but he is underrated when it comes to passing. LSU's receivers are a tad better but McCarron has some targets to throw to, even Richardson out of the backfield.

Run Game: BAMA

LSU has plenty of RBs to throw at you, Hilliard, Ford, Ware and Blue but Bama has the best. Richardson was a beat in the previous meeting, this time just needs to get into the end zone. Slight edge to Bama but LSU will have the advantage in depth. Don't count out Lacy either.

Defense: EVEN

Two different types of defenses. LSU is more opportunistic, faster, and more athletic. Bama is hard nosed and more power oriented. LSU specializes in the secondary while Bama's strength is up front.

Special Teams: LSU

Many would argue that Bama's special teams lost the game for them last time. I would agree to a certain extent but those FGs weren't gimmes. Some I wondered if Saban should have punted and played for field position. LSU's real advantage comes in punter Brand Wing, where returns are a rarity. Also, you have to like LSU's return game better in Mathieu. Maze is no slouch either though.

Coaching: LSU

Not saying Miles is a better coach. Just think his quirkiness and ability to coach in big games will be an edge for LSU. Saban is still a great coach but with Miles, you always have to be on your toes.

*For the non-CFB fans there is at least plenty of NFL prospects to watch. Many of whom will be on the Panther's radar.

I'd almost guarantee one of the players on the field tonight are a Carolina Panther in four months.

A defensive needy team watching two great defensive college teams.

Hard for me to pick who I want to win. Since I live in both of these team's territories, I have no desire to hear from their obnoxious fanbases.

Where's the option for Who Cares, Why Do I Want To Watch An SEC Rematch?

lol

It's like someone sneaks into your home and shits in your cereal every morning and then forces you to come to the huddle and open/comment in threads you apparently hate.

I'm not even watching. I'm tired of the over saturation of the SEC. The SEC was not that good this year and I just have to listen to another year of how the SEC has won titles in blah blah blah years.

It is easy to win a lot of NCs when you are guaranteed at least one team in every year no matter how many games they lose, or whether they even play in a conference championship game or not, and then they usually get to play against a pooty Big 10 team that was just good enough to beat a bunch of sh*tty teams in that weak ass conference.

Who would you have them play? maybe the Pac champ Oregon? lol

maybe Poke State? after watching the Fiesta it became evident to me that they would have been bitch smacked by either LSU or Bama (and I wanted them to be given the chance until that game)

So they beat the middle tier teams of the ACC (Virginia and Wake), enjoy the benefits of being tied in with the pooty Big 10 (Nebraska and Ohio State), and beat an overrated KSU team that only beat one quality team this season (Baylor) barely.

Yeah well when you mostly play ACC, Big East, and Big Ten schools your bowl record will be pretty awesome.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
