I just think FSU has a better D and that Oregon's fast paced offense wouldn't last long against Alabama before they started to get worn out. You have to remember they dont exactly play any stellar defenses in the pac 12

Currently, I feel FSU is the team that could beat Bama. LSU will be a dog fight as usual. Oregon would lose to either FSU or LSU likewise with Ohio state.

Bama has three tough games remaining, LSU, Auburn and if fortunate, the SEC championship against mizzou or SC.

I really hope the best two teams are in Pasadena. I'm hoping Bama-FSU

Yeah they will against Stanford

Oregon's D isn't nearly as good as FSU's or as big. On O Bama will shut down the run game against Oregon and likely box Mariotta in and force him to make the throws in tight coverage with lots of pressure (since their OL is so small compared to Bama's and Bama's DL is the most physical group I've seen since Dareus really) and I have a strong suspicion that MM will crumble pretty badly against that situation.

Winston would likely be a different plan of attack, you have to use switch coverages and make adjustments. He is a lot more accurate passer and pushes the ball downfield similar to AJ and their run game is pretty balanced but not a real threat to win them a game if Winston struggles they're done.

The interesting thing about FSU's D though is that they give up a lot of running yds (173 to Thorton yesterday) so it could be a rout from the start like Bama had against ND last yr too because that D was a lot worse against the run than the pass and Bama knew what they had to do and it was a rout
