Saban. Barrett has regressed a lot since his injury.

May depend on who leaves coaching wise from both schools

Saban. Ohio State's offense isn't doing much against that Bama D.

Bama's offense, if not distracted by the Kiffin saga, is good enough to move the ball vs the Suckeyes.

Meyer. He is a much better coach than Saban per Skip Bayless

If there are any young female interns with a special relationship with Urban, then Saban will win, Urban will feign illness, promise his wife he loves her, resign, and find a job where he claims only ugly women reside.

If Meyer stays flaccid in the football complex then I'd say he has a 10% chance.

Saban is sane and stable with a stacked roster. Bama by 15 or more.

I think Bama rolls Clemson this year, if they play. Clemson has been the most lackluster 'playoff likely' team this year, by far. They've been going through the motions and look as though they've had a pretty lazy approach to the season. If they think they can turn it on just because they see Bama lined up against them, they are mistaken. If they truly had some fire in the belly due to the loss last season, it would have been evident from September onward.

Saban doesn't allow young women to make terrible clothing purchases and he never rewards lazy and sloppy opponents.

If not for Kiffin's decision to quit running the ball up 21-6 in the first half we would've won the 2014 game.

Henry and Yeldon were gashing them, but Kiffin grew tired of it and started trying to pass more. Sims threw 3 picks (1 was a pick 6, 1 would've been a TD for us if thrown on time, and the last one was picked in the end-zone).

You realize that's more of a thing on the rant than in real life right?

Ohio State hasn't really looked that impressive this year.

But Meyer is a good coach and you can't count them out by any means, nobody expected them to match up to us a few years ago and they came out and swung toe to toe.

I watched the Ohio State and Michigan game last night. Ohio State did not look like the better team--regardless of the score. The Buckeye D line didn't put much pressure on the QB and their d backs were often caught far away from the receiver. J.T. Barett struggled in the passing game and wasn't protected all that well by his O line.

The better team with the better coach is Alabama. Saban wins.

I have a feeling it'll be a repeat of the 2009 SEC Championship Game if Ohio State and Bama play each other in the national championship game. This year's Ohio State team has a lot of the same offensive problems that plagued 2009 Florida. Probably even more so because Ohio State doesn't have a Tim Tebow-like QB to make up for their shortcomings.

If it comes down to coaching then Urban again. Bama's offense is hanging on by a thread and the sec is as good as usual to prepare them for top 5 teams.

I really like Meyer. I think he is the second best coach of this generation in CFB.

That said, this is not one of his top 3-4 teams as a HC playing arguably CNS' most complete team.

tOSU had an awful Oct, caught an overrated Nebraska at home with a QB injury, and beat an awful Maryland.

They were largely outplayed by UM with Speight not 100% and were fortunate the D bailed them out.

Of the top 5, I like Bama's chances best against tOSU. Jt Barrett is a talented player, but he is not an accurate passer nor would he have time to be. The OSU run game isn't strong. It would come down to whose O can perform better against whose D... I like Bama big.

I feel like this is almost makeup to tOSU for last year when they had a more complete team left out.

Bama's defense is by far the best of any playoff team. Nobody will beat them.
