re: Besides the revenge factor, do Bama fans really care more about this game?

Yes. This is a statement game just like UF 2009, LSU 2011, and the UGA Blackout. We have a lot to prove tomorrow. Mostly that we are still the king of college football.


Numerous #1 recruiting classes, 3/4 NCs, and the likelihood that if you lose only one game, you'll still get in the BCSCG.

I think you're king of CFB even with a loss tomorrow.

This is a statement game only in the sense that people are asking if Saban can stop Johnny Football, which we all know he can and will.

This game just seems silly to hype up. It's not like A&M returned 22 starters. It's not like there's a dozen 1st rounders on their team (2011 LSU).

Just seems like a lot of hype built up by Aggies and ESPN only because of one player.

It is. The infatuation with Manziel and him beating Bama last year is the only thing going for it. Doesn't really have NCG implications because it's still way too early to paint the BCS picture. I guarantee a 1 loss Manziel machine will get in over unbeaten teams for the title game as well as a 1 loss Bama. People would love to see an Oregon v TAMU or a Clemson v TAMU. People would love to see an Ohio St v Bama.

Louisville may be the only unbeaten team at the end of the year and their schedule will not put them there.
