re: Bama fans, where does this NC game rank in terms of pre-game confidence for you?

Possibly Minkah
Uhm, WHAT?

He's talking about the fake news rumor that Minkah has a lacerated kidney.

Notre Dame seemed like such a fraudulent team that year to me.

Agreed. That was just another bowl game. The REAL NC that year was Bama vs Georgia.

Reminds me of LSU game. Going to be tough sledding for our offense. Defense needs to show out for the game.

You sound like an Auburn fan - trying to ride the injury excuse train. I expect better from Bama.

I mean, he's just talking about his own personal confidence level. If I were a Bama fan, I'd feel much more confident with a healthy SDH, Moses, and Jennings at the LB position. They're not missing as much as they were during the State and Barn games, but you could see the difference in Bama with and without those players.

I never feel confident sooooo......

I felt confident about all of them other than the Clemson games and I was pretty sure we'd lose last year, but in order:

1. Texas (I thought Saban would outcoach Mack worse than he actually did)

2. LSU (I thought the LSU win in Tuscaloosa was flukey and it was a revenge game plus best Defense in the history of CFB)

3. UGA (I just think it's not a great match up for UGA but I completely expect this game to be closer than all but the Clemson games)

4. ND (Seems ridiculous now but ND seemed like a team of destiny and had alot of really great players, but like someone said it became fairly obvious quick that behind their star players they were slow, small, and unathletic.)

5. Clemson '15 (I was worried but I thought DH would pull us thru, I was more confident than was warranted in hindsight. It was all Saban in that one.)

6. Clemson '16 (I thought we'd lose. I never really hoped until Jalen scored late and then I looked at how much time was on the clock and despaired)

I'd say #5. Georgia is better in key position groups, and Jennings was Bama's only real pass rush threat.

Not very confident about this one at all.

Lol, you need a rewatch

ND has been irrelevant since the late 80's early 90's

I mean, they definitely weren’t irrelevant because they made the BCS NC. I just didn’t think they were very good. Outside of OU, they struggled against anyone with a pulse.
