game, Gary made a statement as Bama was going in for the go ahead TD and had run it down UGA's throat in the 3rd quarter, that the elite teams had to run an offense like Bama. How many agree with this statement or do you think a Oregon or Aubiurn type offense can work long term in college football?

No, why would anyone? UA wasn't in an NC game from from 93-08, the teams that were ran all kinds offenses. A&M beat UA this year, what kind of O did they ran?
Recruit better players than the other teams and have a good coaching staff. That's the mystery of CFB success by and large.

When you can recruit offensive lineman and running backs like Bama and LSU can, I agree 100%. When you can assert you will with little risk of turning the ball over, owning the clock, and keeping your defense off the field and rested, it makes too much sense not too. The Spread is effective but is pointless if you can't block the defense up front and it has a bigger risk factor, but it does even out the talent level on a one game basis. But for consistant, long term success, if you can recruit dominant O Lineman there is no reason not to run an up the middle, run based offense.

What a fricking lame, self-serving, irrelevant thread. Otherwise, great stuff.

I think its obvious Oregon type offense can. See Texas A&M. I think Coach Malzhans offense can work long term.

I think that style definitely minimizes risk. Part of the reason Bama has been so successful these past few years is there is a huge margin of era. A&M had to go up 20 points to beat them. They have not been blown out. Against UGA in the SEC championship, they had a lot of things go against them, but they were never out of the game and never had to press to come back.
Oregon's spread works for them, but you that margin of error is much slimmer. Against LSU, DeAnthony Thomas got stripped a couple of times trying to make plays in space and that absolutely killed them.

I don't see the point in lumping Oregon's scheme in with Malzahn and A&M. Oregon may run a spread but their spread is run-first. They bring out four-wide just to thin the defense and then they'll run a trap inside. Totally different from Malzahn ball.
ETA: It is a nice backhanded fap thread though, OP.
