Slive would give death penalty to Baylor, Ohio State and FSU. Bama wins by forfeit.

I wouldn't. FSU doesn't match up well against Bama. Their DL isn't physical enough.

Uh.... I think you swung and missed at that one.

Bama's O isn't the power running team of the past few years. During the LSU game they made several comments regarding Bama's lack of physicality on O this year. Changes in blocking schemes, etc.

It's still be more than enough for FSU's DL. It looked below average SEC against the run. Bama will be able to run on that. Bama's OL is good enough for them to be 2nd in the league in rushing and 1st in yards per carry at 6.5 in conference games.

What 57 said, plus FSU is VERY physical on their OL...

and they have the best overall collection of skill players that Bama would see this year. They have a good QB, 3 good RBs, 3 good WRs and a good TE

3 of their 4 DL starters had offers from Bama.. 2 of their 3 LBs are undersized (like safety size) and they still only allow a little over 3 yards per carry.

I just think Saban would have something cooked up for a freshman QB with all that prep time. I know Winston is good, but he hasn't seen a D on par with Bama. If they confuse him early it would be over. Even though they are not as good this year, they are still very good. I was really really impressed by the FSU backs particularly wilder. He's tough, big motor, and runs hard.

I know Bama's oline hasn't been dominant this year, and that LSU's D isn't what it usually is. That group looks to have gelled here at the end of the year based on how they took control in the 4th last week. Yeldon is something else. Not that impressed with Drake, but it is a nice on two punch.

I think Florida might upset Florida state, call me crazy I just think they slip up and we are gonna see bama and osu. I hate osu with a passion and I don't think they should get in regardless because of their schedule. but saban will give myer another heart attack in the championship game.
