I want to get there first but if we do.....I want Notre Damn first. Beat the hell out of them again and then Meechigan if they can beat Clemson only because I am tired of playing Auburn by a Lake.

It's pretty good when Bama puts up close to 600 yds of offense and they "didn't look very good".

Let's be plain here. LSU isn't very damn good.

Tua wasn't badly over throwing last night, he was putting the ball where it needed to be but the receivers were being held at times. LSU DBs were very physical, they could have drawn a flag on nearly every play had it been a different ref crew, I wonder if another group of DBs could be as physical and not be called, it's not every day a ref crew is as relaxed as last night.

Tua was WAY off his game last night.

I mean, it still worked out for Bama, but that's mostly because Bama has an embarrassment of riches at receiver and tight end, but I saw many badly thrown balls that players had to haul in one handed and shite.

That's because LSU had the athletes to get to him when Aranda dialed up a blitz on literally every down. LSU has one of the better defenses in the nation, no doubt about it, but how many of y'all have watched Michigan over the past month or so? They're kicking arse lately.

Michigan is good.

LSU's secondary is probably the best that Bama will face all year. I doubt Michigan's is better. You could perhaps make the argument that Michigan's defensive line is better than LSU, but idk about their secondary. Not to mention, Michigan will not face a group of receivers and running backs the caliber that Bama has. In any case a lot has to happen for this match up to be a possibility, especially on Michigan's end. But you would have to think Bama would like the match up.

Anyone remember last time Michigan played Bama? 41-14 final I think it was, right? Pundits were pretty high up on that Michigan team as well.

Michigan stat going into yesterday's game was through the last 10 quarters of football they had only allowed like 3 first downs. Then they promptly jumped out to a 28-0 lead yesterday with 2 defensive touchdowns (iirc). Their defense looks elite.

Don't get me wrong though, y'all. Bama is obviously really damn good.

What do you think happens when a receiver is slowed in his route? It's makes the QB hold the ball longer which means the D has more time to get to him or the QB throws it to the route anyway and hopes the receiver can make a play, I'm not talking about simple bumps at the line I'm talking about LSU players holding onto receivers for 2 to 3 seconds, any other stadium and that shite gets flagged, LSU tried everything to slow Tua down and he still beat them, alot of his deep balls were TDs without blatant holds. Michigan would be blown out even worse and you know it, stop trolling.

Nah. Michigan doesn't match up well against Bama. Clemson is the only team that does.

Michigan has basically the same players that South Carolina beat in the bowl game last season and you think those same players can stop Alabama.

If by chance Bama were to beat UGA for the SEC Ring then Go Blue will not stick within 24 points of Alabama. Tua and Bama played against the best DB's in the country last night. Go Blue's DB can't even see the level of DB's that LSU has.

They’d have to beat Ohio State first

It's not Michigan's secondary that makes them elite. It's their front 7. Specifically their defensive line. They're playing like gut eaters, man. Michigan is the best team in football.

They are not good enough on offense to beat Bama.

What you desperately want to happen doesn’t always pan out Edward and an angry LSU squad will pound the hell out of your pigs this coming Shabbos.

Not in this day and age. To beat Bama, you need an explosive offense like Clemson had two years ago.

Alabama didn't play well on offense last night and beat the #3 team by 30pts.

Alabama didn't play well on offense and still put almost 600yds.

When Bama plays a B- or C game they are still 3 tds better than everyone except Clemson. They'll need to play a good game to beat Clemson.

Michigan's offense is just as bad as Lsu's. Their O-line is just as bad as Lsu's.
They are much better upfront than LSU on defense though.
