You get no argument from me there. However, disrespect in sports is a great motivator, particularly in College Football and College hoops. Look at the UGA-Bama game. If CMR knew how to manage the clock, UGA is preparing for ND, instead of Bama.

My point is that STUDMLB55 is acting like this Bama team is Miami 2001. He had the audacity to say this Bama team is as talented or more talented than Miami was. I have no problem with people thinking their team or their conference is great or best, but at least be realistic in your arguments. I am Big 10 guy and I would be the first to admit the conference sucks and the SEC is way better than every other conference. I don't alllow my fandom to come in the way of my picks or my objectivity.

that's objective though, if thats how he feels, that's how he feels, you feel differently, thats what the forums are for.. have a healthy debate... get angry bout it if you wish, I don't care...

only thing I pointed out was something that wasn't objective about Bama being top 15 O, when clearly they are..

Scoring offense.

However, when you say that Alabama 2012 is more talented than Miami 2001, that is a joke. This team isn't even as talented as last year's Alabama team.

Miami 2001 is widely regarding as the most talented team in CFB history. Do you hear anyone talking about this Bama team as an all-timer. They won their MNC game by 27 points. They had one game which they won by less than DD. They beat ranked opponents in back to back weeks by a 124-7 score. That is when your opinion gets swayed by your fandom.

Scoring O is the most important when determining how good a offense really is.........that is the point of offense is putting points on the board, correct?

BTW.....I do agree with you on Bama not being the best ever......they are just better than ND and we will see in about 24 hours.

There is no arguing that Bama is better talent wise and as an overall team compared to ND. However, unlike basketball/nhl, this is a one game take all scenario.
In College, i always go back to the Ohio State - Miami game, even though that game didn't have the discrepency that the FSU/Oklahoma game did. Ohio State had 14 players drafted that April (most in NFL Draft history for 7 rounds). OU was an underdog with a QB with a wet noodle for an arm. They didn't have the talent FSU had, but they shut FSU down completely. I think ND will have a very good gameplan and I think this comes down to whoever makes 2 turnovers loses.

I like the fact that ND has very good defense, mobile QB and good run. I also like Wood and Riddick's ability to catch the ball out of the back field. I think ND comes in with a chip on their shoulder.

I am in no way backing down from my play ( I already have ND), but this game is nothing like last year vs LSU. LSU vs Bama last year, in the title game (I lost a lot the first game at Bryant-Denny) I thought was the 2nd best bet I had ever seen. Miami -7 vs Nebraska is still the all time best I have ever seen.

Packers, Seahawks and Ravens each have played seven (7!) times since Notre Dame's last game

I said that Alabama's top to bottom roster (include freshman who may or may not play) has as much talent as Miami did in their hay day. You are the one that wanted to compare Alabama to Miami...not me. I stood by my claim and even accepted your bet that Alabama would have as many 1st rounders in the next 4 years as Miami did during their run, but you ignored it. Quit putting words in my mouth dude. Either quote me for what I said or shut the hell up.

You just made my point for me. You stated that Bama's roster had as much talent as Miami's roster from top to bottom.

LMAO... I brought up the 01 Miami team a few days ago! This is the best team I have ever seen in college! Please tell me someone didn't compare the Bama team to the 01 Canes! That is a joke! I would lay -28 on the Canes if they faced this years Bama team!

Very tough to judge talent of such young players.. Bama in 2 years may have the next greatest team ever but we have till wait and see! As faras 1st rd picks over next 4 years, Well again thats tough to judge. I would say this year Bama has 2 max 1st rounders. Which is great for any team any year imo! I would say Williams the NT is a 1st rd pick! He can play a 4-3 or 3-4 and even kick out on 3-4 to a DE.. Great player! The Bama guard #65 I think, is a very possibel 1st rd also! Great run blocker fom what I have seen.. A dark horse and a kid I like is Johnson the LB... He is a monster imo and a big kid! I really doubt he goes in the 1st round, but I could see his stock rise a few days before draft day and sneak in the 25-32 range!
