| None better . Roll Tide . |
| I'm assuming your talking about NCAA Division 1 college football. In that case, you're wrong, because there is no Championship. Winning a popularity contest among sportswriters doesn't a champion make. Until there is an actual playoff, Div 1 college football might as well be figure skating. |

Is it this year or next when they start the 4 team playoff? |

I agree Bama is the most likely pick given their depth of talent and schedule this year.
However, I won't agree that it is assured, they have to meet with some very decent teams this year that given the right Saturday could result in an upset. I pray that Saturday is 28 September.

Quoted: The more they say this, the less likely it will be. Jinx! Quoted: The more they say this, the less likely it will be. Jinx! Unfortunately, I agree. I HATE years where 'Bama is "expected" to win it all, we usually manage to find a way not to.  Quoted: ... However, I won't agree that it is assured, they have to meet with some very decent teams this year that given the right Saturday could result in an upset... Absolutely. |

Ole Miss? Sure...why not... If Marshall is adequate and gets the Gus Bus rolling....30 November might not be so nice for them, either. All these pesky spread teams for Nick to face. And he keeps lobbying to "slow down the game...it's for the children!" |

I can't wait . Caught Coach Saban on ESPN and he looks focused , |

Any given Saturday night in the SEC can bring an upset. |

Sorry, I only watch real college football...So I don't pay much attention to what happens outside the SEC

How many of those 4 will be from the SEC? I'll wager 2 or more. |

Texas A & M and LSU are the only "very decent teams" the Tide will play this year. The rest will be a cake walk. Ole Miss??

Of course that is what I'm posting about . Did you see last seasons game whenever Bama played N.D. 
That running back Lacy looked like a salmon going upstream . Beautiful really , kinda like a power ballet . |

Any team. Any day. It happens. Yep. I remember in '09 a less than mediocre Tennessee almost beat Alabama at Alabama. It took 2 blocked field goals, and missed field goal for them to escape. And Bama was great that year. 14-0 National Champions, and almost got beat by a bad UT team. There are 2-3 games like that, league wide, every year. You never know. |

The one I'll always remember was Southern Miss beating 'Bama in Tuscaloosa for Coach Bryant's very last home game, ending a 57-game winning streak in the process IIRC. My Dad was the Referee for that game, and I was on the sideline... too young at the time to fully understand the college football history taking place/era being ushered out that day right in front of me. (And also unaware that one of my closest future friends was out there playing for the Golden Eagles). |
