re: Alabama-a&m

aTm might win this one, I haven't paid any attention to them this year, but today looked up their stats and shite. I figured their shitty defense would be their downfall. I know stats only go so far, but aTm is no joke.

Their only two losses were very close, to LSU and FL.

Their defense is ranked 27, which doesn't sound that good on paper, but UGA's defense is 25 and we all know it's a pretty good defense. aTm's is only giving up a fraction more of a point per game than UGA's.


aTm has 10th best rushing in the country.

aTm is #4 in the country in overall points.

And it's not just against cupcakes... considering they are more than halfway through an SEC season, including two losses, and still have those kinds of numbers is pretty incredible.

I wouldn't put money on them beating Bama, but I don't think I'd put money on anyone in this game period.

Had aTm won just one of those close losses, they'd be the ones talking about mNC scenarios.

Basic summary, I didn't know aTm was that good because I haven't paid attention to them. I'm glad I read up before my pickum this week.

SEC's best offense vs SEC's best defense.

This is the perfect trap game scenario.
