If Wisconsin is in the top 4 next week before the championship game, then congratulations on the B1G championship victory Badgers.

Penn St and Maryland are pretty evenly matched, eh?
Who said that? 
Franklin will do that any time he can. He was HCIW, and this dipshit AD decided to let him go. 
Then, Dandy Randy said, "let the rivalry begin". 
Besides, we could line up a complete group of 5 star kids across the board, and we'd lose because we're outnumbered at kickoff.

Auburn beat the brakes off Georgia and Alabama. That was a 12 point beat down if I ever saw one. Felt like a 28 point win, not a 12.
Never expected Hurts to be handled the way he was, especially as the game moved along. Nothing downfield was open for long stretches of the 2nd half and Auburn's pass rush was able to play it right in not committing too early only to be burned by Hurts' running.

I think Alabama is one of the four best teams, but they do not have one of the four best resumes.
In what way(s) does Alabama seem to be better than its resume?  Auburn was the first really good team Bama has played all year, and Auburn won in a game that was not as close as the final score indicated.

You're certainly not alone in your estimation of Bama's worth, but I'm wondering what intangibles make them better than their record.

they only had 12:10 in TOP. I think Kansas had more when they had around 4 total yards

Merely belief.  They've proven nothing.  If Clemson wins tonight, then they have no business getting in without an Oklahoma or Wisconsin loss next weekend.

yeah, Alabama is always going to get the benefit of the doubt just because of Saban and how much he's won there.

Alabama isn't the same team this year. They've had injuries to the LB corps and haven't been as stout stuffing the run and rushing the passer because of those injuries. They aren't as ridiculously dominant stuffing the run as they always are- which makes the offense have to pick up more slack and it hasn't.

I like Jalen Hurts as the QB when you're playing with the lead and running the ball down the other teams throat which allows play-action to get working because those LB's and safeties are freezing up. Down double digits late- against a non-Mississippi State or garbage team and the defense knows he's got to pass? He can't do it. He's a better version of Blake Sims- but he's still a version of Blake Sims- a running back playing QB.

Nick Saban and ESPN already politicking for a spot in the playoff. 

This excerpt from the article cracked me the F up...

"Coming into the weekend, Alabama was one of two unbeaten Power 5 programs, along with Wisconsin, and it was No. 2 in ESPN's Strength of Record metric and No. 1 in Game Control."

I sure as hell would love to see how ESPN comes up with their strength of record metric and how the hell they rank Alabama as having the #2 most difficult schedule in college football. Jesus.

The back half of that first set was some of the best high level volleyball I've seen in years.   Too bad Gophers let it slip.   Look like they will extend this to a 4th at least.
