Everyone knows that polls much like elections are very much a popularity contest. However you would be very foolish to underestimate Bama. Im watching them now and they have a QB that can complete a 10 yard pass to a wide open receiver, something that Tiger fans are very unfamilliar with.
Well we've been tested and we clearly know what we can/cannot do. However, with watching wide open WR's either drop the F'n pass or have them over throw, I do wonder if there is a game were we just play perfect..
I disagree with the Bama assessment. As an aside, this will be sorted out for Bama in the next few weeks. If they beat MSU and LSU, they will be firm #1. And if Bama and FU meet I'm the SECCG, the n they can settle it on the field. Bama faced a ranked Arky t hat was decimated by injuries and off-field problems. USCe will not be in top -10 when rankings come out tomorrow. It is what it is. If fu won out, they will be ranked ahead o Bama and I'm title game.
I do too and I'll tell you why, although at times the last 2 weeks some of the situational play calling was suspect, and some head scratching calls, Zach Mettenberger was given many opportunities from the play calls to make big plays, and if Kadron Boone doesn't come up with a huge TD catch, the passing game hits zero big plays. In other words, yes the play calling is strange situationally at times, but it has been good this year, we just haven't executed.
I'm not do sure that we're going to be the ones to do it, but I can't see Bama going undefeated this year. The players are buying their own hype, and if they aren't, they will shortly. I know Saban is doing his best to make sure that doesn't happen, but the younger players will flat out not believe him. If we play like we did against USC, we definitely stand a chance. Our defense will be able to stop Bama's offense. The question is whether or not we'll be able to do anything on offense. 9-6 again could be a very real possibility IMO.
Watching the bama team against the Vols , each Bama player acts like he is on a high . There is more than gatoraide in them veins .
