The question isn't who WILL beat Bama this year ... it is who is more likely.
The answer can't be "neither" because the question is comparative between the two choices.
If State .00000003% likelihood of beating Bama, yes I am over stating ... I rounded cause I got tired of typing zeros ...
And Texas A&M is .001% likelihood of beating Bama then the answer is Texas A&M.
The answer most certainly can be neither, because your asking for opinions from random people. If someone believes that both teams have a zero percent chance to beat Alabama then their answer is neither. Also if you throw in the "any given Saturday" theory then both teams have a fifty percent chance to win (two teams, one winner), so their answer would be that neither team is more likely to win.

The A&M v. Bama game fascinates me. Manziel is quick on his feet for sure. He gave our guys a run for his money for a while. I'm curious to see how the bama defense runs after him. I don't think A&M will prevail, but it should be a fun game to watch.

This isn't how statistics work.
