Alabama vs. Texas

As a current student at The University of Alabama, I'm extremely excited for this game. So I was wondering, who does OT think will win or want to win?

I don't like Saban.. he lacks character and has no honor, but he's a good football coach.

I think Alabama wins...

I'd like McCoy to finish with a title, esecially after being a 2-time Heisman finalist... hook em! \../

Go Bama! Even though they killed us. =/

Texas shouldn't even be there. I think Alabama kills them.

I'm pulling for my conference. I'm also an SEC fan. I love my conference. I'm just thankful that we at least lost to a team of that caliber.

i just hate colt so much his face makes me rage

[QUOTE="Saxsoon"]Roll Tide Texas doesn't deserve to be there. Who did they honestly beat of worth? Their 3 toughest games were against the Aggies, a crappy 6-6 team, a downtrodden OU, and Nebraska. I say this as an Aggie with the crap 6-6 team. Big XII sucks this year.lazzordude

The MAC? Well, that came out of left field. I think it's consensus that the MAC is inferior to everyone else. If I'm not mistaken they didn't win a bowl game this year and their bowl track record the past couple of years isn't good.

Refute how? By pointing to their schedules? People won't play Boise State. That's a fact they have trouble scheduling because the big boys don't wanna lose. Although I must give props to Virginia Tech for playing them next year. And Oregon State does too. Way to not be afraid. And Texas Tech dropped TCU this year. Hmmm...

And let's go to Alabama's out of conference games: Virginia Tech, Florida International, North Texas, and Chatanooga. All I can say is simply: Wow. Now I am not saying that they don't deserve to be in the championship game cuz they do but would it be so bad to schedule ya know...teams? (No disrespect to those last 3 but come on)

People are afraid to schedule Boise? Since 2000, BSU is 5-8 against teams from BCS conferences, and 0-4 against the SEC. This is including bowl games. Don't try and tell me that they would go undefeated if they played in a BCS conference.

Now for schedules. Alabama played the 12th toughest schedule in the country. Texas the 49th. TCU the 82nd. BSU the 98th. These are from the Sagarin ratings, which base SOS off of the performance of the teams on the schedule, without regard to assumed conference strength. Meaning, a win against Wyoming=a win against Florida=a win against Baylor. You can't argue that TCU or BSU played a tough schedule.

Alabama all the way.

Well, if Texas wins then I get to work over-time. Which means more money. So I hope Texas wins. Not that I care about football, but I do work at the university co-op (official store for UT)and you get a bunch of people coming to the store to buy orange longhorn crap every time they win or when there's a game.

That may be true. It's a lose-lose scenario. But it terms of the actual football being played, it's simply not true.

Bama, I'm just hoping it will be a good game. I don't see Texas scoring much. Maybe to much of my SEC pride/hatred of Texas, being an Arkansas Razorback fan though.btaylor2404

K...I never said they would go undefeated if they were in a BCS conference. Why didn't I say that? Because it's totally correct. They wouldn't. But yeah people are afraid to schedule them. As someone else enforced, schools won't even play Boise coming to their building. I am not gonna look for quotes or anything because 1. I know what I'm talking about and have heard/read such and 2. It's out there. You can look. And I won't argue TCU or BSU played a tough schedule. Especially Boise State. They are men amongst boys in the WAC. They need to get out of there.
