Florida is the last team to win the championship wearing white jerseys. Let that sink in.

That QB for Irish will feel like Jordan Jefferson after next mon night
Unless Bama has 5 turnovers, Irish won't stay within 3 TDs

Here is what I have:
Their DL can match up with your O-line...not many teams have players who can do that even in the SEC
They don't know how to lose this year; when you find ways to win, you just believe you'll do it again...no matter the score in the 3rd quarter etc
They have a great TE who can potentially expose the LBers/Safeties for Bama
I think Bama has more advantages such as; better run game, more experience qb, better overall talent, belief they will win another one, more proven head coach

Nowhere. Bama will roll to an easy win in a boring game.

Better front 7? Really? Possibly but people fail to consider the depth issue. ND can't compare to the depth on this Bama team. They'll stay in the game possibly till the half then they wear down. Bama by 14.

From a positional standpoint I'd say secondary is a slight advantage to them, hard to tell due to competition but numbers indicate that. Also QB is a bit better but UA's overall offensive numbers are better than ND's. ND's Defense has slightly better numbers than UA's, but UA's offense shows to be a touch better than ND's.
From a game day coaching ability ND's coaching staff has shown to be better at game day decisions. Saban has shown to be one of the best game planners in the business though.
If it is a blow out then UA will be the one doing it, if it is a close game ND could win this. Not saying will but could.

I don't know where you are getting your information but Bama ranks better in every stat except RedZone defense. Check yards per game Total Offense/Total Defense, rushing and passing. Every damn stat there is except RZ defense and not by much.

GPA, is the only place ND has the advantage

Bama makes their arse quit halfway thru the 2nd.

Halo is right! ND lasts a quarter and a half, maybe.

I do not think they have an advantage over us but I am impressed with the number of points their defense has given up this year.
WE are going to beat the shite out of them.

You need to break the numbers down more than raw stats. How many points did they hold their competition below their normal score, by what percentage. Also do the same to the rushing and passing yards and ND's defense is "slightly" better than UA's on paper. Now level of competition affects this as well obviously but it is a good indication of how things are.
Last year UGA's defense looked very strong on paper but when you looked at how they did against good teams they lived off teams that weren't "top" teams.

how so? Bama has an all-american safety and a 1st round pick at CB. ND has a couple converted WRs.

Also QB is a bit better
LOL. based on what? I was planning to post that ND has a better backup QB than Bama, based on experience. But the starters arent close.
