Honestly Dak doesn't scare me as a straight up drop back passer. He has success throwing off play action but thats pretty much it. His running ability is what will be the key
Bama - 41
State - 28

HE can throw the ball way better for damn sure.
I have been saying the same thing. Our return game is so risky Id rather just straight up go for the block
I wasn't talking about JK Scott he has been fantastic. Was referring to our return game and kick coverage.

they are capable of beating any team anywhere at anytime.
HOWEVER
they are also capable of losing to any team anywhere at anytime.

I know Sims isn't a Andrew Luck or a Tom Brady or anything like that. Im well aware of all that but as I look at Florida I am so happy to have Blake Sims.
Sims is a decent Quarterback. Not great but decent enough to win with a strong defense and a sting running game.
Florida is basically playing without a quarterback. They would love to have a halfway decent QB. like a Blake Sims. their defense and running game are both really good. They just get absolutely nothing out of the Qb position.
the only difference between BAMA and Florida is a decent/serviceable QB. both have five start recruits, they both have good defenses and running backs. BAMA gets some production out of the QB position and FLA gets none. BAMA could just as easily be where FLA is.

re: My objective look at LSU-Bama game

At the end of the day LSU is still the team BAMA is built to beat. We have gotten faster over the past few years because nowadays you have to have speed to stop the up tempo teams. Back in '09 - "12 you could win by having the biggest and strongest guys. Now though you need speed. LSU is still the style/type of team we are best suited to grind it out with and beat. However the same exact thing can be said about LSU. Im expecting a grind it out field position game.

College Playoffs
Posted by Jkel4 on 10/28/14 at 7:28 pm
As we near the final stretch of this college football season we are getting closer to the first ever college football playoff. It might be too early for some people to declare this but, in my mind the playoff system has already been a success
The BCS system always seemed to be viewed as a flawed system. At the end of the day though it probably got it right whether you liked the teams or not.The best thing about the BCS in my mind was the debates and arguments it created. The discussion of who should jump who and get the chance to play for the title was the centerpiece for many office lunch breaks. Everybody had an opinion on who they thought belonged in the championship game.
The playoff system has expanded what the BCS did in terms of creating debates and discussions. Instead of debating one team’s chances of making it into the title game its now turned into discussions on which two, three, or even four teams deserve to be in that final fourth spot.
What makes the NCAA college basketball tournament so special? I think It’s the unpredictability. I think it's the fact that some hedgehog named Jeffery has just as good of a chance to pick the final four teams as I do. Everybody loves it so much because they know their team has just as good of a chance to win it all as any other team. They have watched a cinderella team make it year after year and whose to say that it won’t be their team this year.
That's what this playoff system has done for college football. It's given fan bases that have watched their teams suffer early to mid season defeats still hope that their team can make it to the playoffs; and if they can make it in….. then they can win it all. The examples of this are everywhere this season. Oregon lost at home to Arizona. Last year - their title hopes would be gone. This year though, they are still a contender to make it in. Michigan state lost to Oregon yet they are still in the conversation. Auburn lost to Mississippi State but are still right there with a chance. Alabama lost to Ole Miss. Thanks to the playoffs, three weeks after the loss they sit in perfect position to make it in. Fans of Oregon, Michigan State, Auburn, and all the one loss teams are still just as excited about their chances to get to the title game as they were on week one.
That’s why I say that the playoff system has already been a success. It was put into place to help determine who the best team was in college football at the end of the season but, it's clear that its biggest and most positive impact on college football thus far, has been on the regular season not the post-season.
Lets look at a list of the top ten one loss teams:
Alabama
Auburn
Oregon
Notre Dame
Ole Miss
Michigan State
Georgia
TCU
Kansas State
Baylor
There are a lot of teams that still believe that they have a legitimate shot at making it into the playoff. These teams are from all over the country. The viewing area of fans that have a team with a chance covers the entire nation. The longer you can keep more teams in the discussion to potentially have a chance to win the National Championship the more people are going to watch and the more exciting and intense the regular season becomes. This is what the playoffs have done. This is why it is already a success. The playoff system has given fans the only thing a fan ever needs - hope.
