Bama most likely going to repeat

Submitted by MGoDC on

Still a few games to go but you have to imagine Bama is the odds on favorite to play in the title game where they will proceed to destroy ND. Bama is a good team, and might even be the best team in the nation (certainly looked that way before the A&M game). Although it's annoying that the SEC is going to play in the title game again for sure now (if not Bama then Georgia) I can't really complain abou them deserving it.

Here's my question though, when was the last time a program caught this many breaks this late in the year to win titles back to back? Alabama didn't win its division last year, wins the title. Alabama behind three undefeated teams in week 11 and #1 and #2 lose (#1 loses by 30 to an unranked team?!) A great team for sure but I've never heard of a program getting such luck with how things have shaken out for them back to back years.

KSU lost. Bill Snyder has staked his whole fucking career on catching that one lucky year where, even though they didn't play anyone with a pulse, KSU would go undefeated. He's obviously not a bad coach. But his teams are always, always overrated because of their bullshit schedules.

How is KSU's schedule any bullshittier than anyone else's?  I mean, Michigan played Alabama, but not everyone can play the defending national champion.  They're playing the Big 12 schedule, and they played Miami (a traditionally good team) in the non-conference.  Sure, they played North Texas and Missouri State, but Michigan played UMass and normally feasts on a couple MAC teams.

why does everyone seem to think alabama is an unbeatable awesome team, when in fact, in back to back games against LSU and then A&M, they looked like the lesser team on the field? Does anyone actually watch them play?

While a number of people seem to be making themselves feel better by saying that ND will get killed by 'Bama in the championship game, I'm not so sure -- ND's defense has looked good against a number of teams with good offenses. With a month to prepare, I think a game between them will be interesting.
