I think its a great match up that I am really looking forward to watching. In the end though, as an admitted fan/homer, I am predicting a slightly more competitive version of the LSU game. They do the defense/running game very well -- Alabama just does it better. Also, because a little good-natured trash talking is always fun, remember this?

Statistically they've played 4 defenses better than MSU. MSU is not the defensive team they used to be, though they should match up well with bama. I agree that you can't write off State, that team doesn't give up and finds ways to win any means necessary. |

Quoted:
I want to whiners to explain this one. The Big 12 wants a Championship game and the Big 10 is trying to block it. The Big 10 evidently demands divisions over all the teams playing each other. 
So no more complaining about it if they can't do it. http://texas.247sports.com/Bolt/Big-Ten-amendment-could-block-Big-12-title-game-41820715 The Big 12 conference hoped a January vote at the NCAA convention would open the door for the 10-team league to have a conference championship game in football, but an amendment submitted by the Big Ten could block that plan.
Conferences currently have to have at least 12 teams and two divisions in order to host a conference championship game, and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and ACC commissioner John Swafford submitted a proposal to eliminate those restrictions. Not so fast my friend, said Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany. He told ESPN he doesn't think the Big 12 should have to expand to hold a title game, but he wants to know what the league's procedure will be for determining the participants and how deregulation might impact other conference structures - like the ACC. The Big Ten's amendment indicates it's OK with having fewer than 12 teams, but divisions is a must. EXACTLY All he is asking is for definition in how the 2 teams will be determined since there are not 2 divisions. He isn't trying to block anything. |

That is hilarious since all the conferences seem to be having championship games right now without having any "extra" rules. How do you explain that? So you think the Big 10's opposition is rooted in opposition to schools forming small conferences in order to have a "champion"? Do you think that would carry weight with a committee that selects playoff participants? I honestly have no idea why there is opposition to the Big 12 playing a championship game. Clearly they are doing for the money, which is why they all do it, but the only issue is how they decide who earns the right to play the leader. I honestly don't see how it is any other conference's business. There are no rules that force conferences into divisions. That is something they do on their own AFAIK. Is there a rule that says you have to have divisions or it simply a matter of math? |

It's done in the other conferences by taking the winners of each division. Guess I need to read it again. I WANT the Big12 to have a Champinship game. I don't care if they have separate divisions or just take the top 2 and play again. I dont care if they only have 10 teams. The NCAA needs to adjust that rule. Im assuming its there so teams dont drop down to 4-6 team conferences to improve the odds pf winning the conference. I'm just wanting a 13th game like everyone else is playing. That way the top teams are risking making the playoffs like everyone else. Look at Iowa. 12-0 sit at home, go to final 4. Go play 13th game and lose and your out. Ouch!

The only reason to have a conference championship game is if you have too many teams to play round robin. This new proposal is purely for style points to pose for the "playoff" committee, which makes it worthless, IMO. I have no beef with a Big X(II) champ who wins the conference by the rules without a championship game. The whole issue would be moot if they would expand to 8 teams as they should anyway. The solution is so obvious.
I disagree with Delaney - they should NOT have a championship game, unless they can get 12 teams again. There is no need for this change, except "playoff" posturing. It only proves my point that the whole thing is a shameless popularity contest. |

I don't think anyone will underestimate MSU. They are a good team, and Dantonio is a good coach............should be a great game
Quote HistoryQuoted:
Statistically they've played 4 defenses better than MSU. MSU is not the defensive team they used to be, though they should match up well with bama. I agree that you can't write off State, that team doesn't give up and finds ways to win any means necessary. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Notre Dame vs Ohio State is the most interesting game I see for the entire post season. IMO. Bama vs OU IMO
We heard all this stuff last year that Ohio State had 0 chance of beating Alabama. I can tell you right now, Alabama has not faced a defense as good as Michigan States. And I HATE MSU.

Texas A&M vs Louisville in the Music City Bowl. The Aggies own the all-time series against Louisville 3-0, having played them three straight years from 1992-1994. The Cardinals are coached by former Arkansas football coach and amateur motorcyclist Bobby Petrino. Dam I wanted to play Texas Tech For selfish reasons. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I think its a great match up that I am really looking forward to watching. In the end though, as an admitted fan/homer, I am predicting a slightly more competitive version of the LSU game. They do the defense/running game very well -- Alabama just does it better. Also, because a little good-natured trash talking is always fun, remember this?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvCnavPhWc

Where's that on the schedule? Jumping the gun a little bit there aren't we? Should we have just backed the playoffs down to 2 teams this year? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm only interested in it if you have changed Alabama to bama in the smallest font available. It has brought us pretty good luck this season.

Any A&M fans going to Nashville? We got our tickets/hotel room yesterday, but it's only a 3 hour trip.
I'm interested to see how your fans travel for this game. I know you have a large fan base, but do they give a shit about playing Louisville? |

Peach Bowl will definitely be a bore, I expect a lot of empty seats
• Houston already had trouble putting fans in its stands even with a 12-1 team • Its hard for FSU fans to get excited about this match up • Noon kickoff on NYE
Tickets on Stubhub have already dropped to $19 |
