We'd make Michigan look like a JV team IMO.

Am I stupid for thinking that we would route Clemson? How much better are they this year compared to last? How much better are we this year than last year?


I don't know, honestly. It's hard to gauge them (probably a bit like us pre-LSU) because they haven't played anyone since Lawrence took over with nearly enough talent to challenge them. They have certainly been playing at an elite level the last 3-4 weeks, though.

I think it's fair to look at how A&M threw the ball around on them and think their back 7 would have an incredibly difficult time stopping our passing attack. And our OL is good enough to hold up against their DL for long enough to let our receivers run routes, IMHO.

You know you want to do a SoG Prediction Model for Clemson, Notre Dame and Michigan.

Just do them.

Michigan still has to be able to consistently move the ball to shorten the game.

Yeah. If Shea Patterson couldn't move the ball through the air against us with the WRs Ole Miss has then he would be in serious trouble with Michigan's personnel.

If Bama does go undefeated this year then they will do it again next year. In my opinion, next year the team will be even better than this year's.

As the starter, Tua would be 30 & 0 with two SEC championships and two college football playoff championships as the starter.

I could see Bama winning the next 3 CFPO championships which would a 4peat.

Saban will win 5 more NCs before his 2025 contract ends. That puts him at 10 at Bama.


Whoa, man. I love the enthusiasm but lets pump the brakes a little bit. We haven't even won the NC yet this year. I hope everything you have said becomes a reality but who knows what could happen.

They are far superior with a better defense than last year. The last close game they played Kelly Bryant was the QB.

Let's not get cocky. Michigan-Bama would be like OSU-Miami 2003. Michigan has great dl and ol, with a great overall defense.

Yeah, folks predicted Miami in a blowout including yours truly. Don Brown is a great dc and Michigan prob. has the best OL coach in the country.

Take out Clemson and those three (Bama, ND, and Michigan) are some serious freakin’ storied programs.

Mmhmm, I really hope Clemson falls so Oklahoma can get in and the CFP can be the bluest of bloods.

No Ed Warinner is not the best offensive line coach in the country. And the only team they have played with a good D-line is Notre Dame and they got blown off the ball for four quarters. This Alabama team is a very bad match up for Michigan. 31-10 range would be the score.

Teams can improve during the season and Michigan has. The way they dismantled PSU was impressive.

I agree and that was a decent win. Michigan has been terrible on the offensive line ever since Harbaugh has been the coach. They've big boyed some shitty teams. You ain't gonna line up and blow Alabama off the ball. It's a bad match up.
