If Alabama is overrated then all of college football blows by that logic. You cant call a unanimous number 1 team overrated unless you breath their name in the same sentence as the 49ers or some shite. inb4somedumbassbammershave

Is it a forgone conclusion that Alabama wins another National Championship? They seem to be in a class of their own?


quote:

I disagree. I think there's an overreaction to Alabama right now. They beat a depleted Michigan team and depleted Arkansas team. Alabama has not been tested yet, even though people want to act like these were statement games. At Missouri won't be easy. At LSU. At Tennessee. Those aren't easy games. I think Alabama is a little overrated. I hate to say that, because Nick Saban is one of the best coaches out there.

Wasn't he surprised when Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen were falling out of the top of the draft?

I disagree with the over rated part but they have not been tested.

I think it remains to be seen. Bama is certainly a very good team. But, we really haven't been tested at all yet.

It doesnt sound like he is saying Alabama isn't #1, but I think he is saying the gap isn't as big as many are trying to make it out to be.

A true road game against an opponent not falling apart at the seams, Bama has not faced yet. I think Bama is top notch, but there are questions that remain such as the secondary for example. Bama should be ready when the time comes however.

I agree we have not been tested but how can you say that Alabama is overrated because of that?

It's early no doubt,2010 people thought we were unbeatable.

We ended up losing 3 games.
