You have to LOVE all the sour grapes in here. They should open another forum just for them and call it Dickriders.

Alabama wins the SEC and goes to the first ever college football playoffs. We lose to a deserving National Champion in a game we very well could have won by 6. In a good competitive game. OSU blows out the Mighty Ducks, who blew out the FSU Criminoles the previous week.

In spite of all the whining and begging and tooth gnashing in here, none of it means crap. Alabama is NOT going away and if you plan on winning the SEC, the road goes through Tuscaloosa. Same thing with the National Title.

This is really the first year under Saban that Bama was in the title game (now semis) and lost. Losses to Utah/OU etc don't matter as much, simply because you can argue what's another BCS bowl level win for a program that level.

I think Bama will continue to be extremely good, but Saban needs to figure out what to do about these spread offenses.

It's hard to find the right guy who can play 2 positions. Mosley for example could cover a guy and also play the run extremely well. Darron Lee for OSU is a little smaller than Mosley so he may move a bit better, but isn't quite as good against the run. Those hybrid guys are the ones that I'm not sure Bama has stockpiled enough of yet, the S/LB guys who they can leave in to stop the run, but still defend the spread
