This is coming from an Ole Miss fan, but based on what I've seen (and I watch a lot of football and read a bunch of articles), who have we seen that is better than Alabama? They might have lost to us, but I'll be damned if Alabama isn't leaps and bounds better now than they were when they played us.

Oh and best of luck to Alabama and the rest of the SEC. Hoping the Tide win out so the SEC can be represented.

Would have to go with Clemson at the moment. Bama #2.

I'm not buying that 1 loss Bama is better than every undefeated team. They are certainly at least top 4 and that's all that will matter. They can prove themselves from that point.

Winning over LSU doesn't make them the best, but they've been pretty stout all year.

I think most intelligent posters knew what was going to happen in that game...it went exactly as projected

Maybe. Maybe not. Just keep winning and get a shot to prove it.

You, my friend, get it.

If we had played Ohio State last year in the middle of the season, we'd have beaten the hell out of them. Teams improve as the season goes along, unless they are hit by injuries like Ole Miss last year, and/or lose some emotional games and then regress.

In college football, every team loses players and has to start inexperienced players in some positions. Some do this more than others in a given year, and if those players are blue chips who are completely green, then the difference between their play from the first to the last game of the season can be tremendous.

Good post.

No. They were a matchup nightmare for LSU. Bama looked better than they were Sat. LSU looked worse than they were just because of the matchup.

Don't care if we're number 1 right now or not. Just want to keep winning to get the opportunity to prove it on the field. It will play out as it has to.

Dak will throw for 400 yards and MSU wins.

If the season ended Saturday, the answer is yes. We'll see if they can sustain that type of play.

It really doesn't matter at this point. We need to stop talking about how good we are and prove it the rest of the year and hopefully into the playoffs.

At the end of the day you have to have the results, not just the potential.

Hard to say. Bama probably has a better defense than Clemson but Clemson definitely has the better QB and overall better offense.
