    I think bama will take this one fairly easily, Texas has struggled against the only two good defenses they have played and neither one was as good as bama's. On the other side of the ball I don't think Texas will be able to stop bama's run game. I would also give the advantage in the special teams area because of Arenas. The biggest thing will be that bama will control the clock just like they did against Florida and McCoy wont be able to get into any kind of rhythm

    I like both teams but I think Bama will take it fairly easy. Texas hasnt impressed me too much this year like Bama has.

    How can you say Texas is a real deal when they BARELY won their conference?!? I used to like Texas, but over the season they seem like they have became weaker.


    I say Alabama by 2 touchdowns.

    I want Texas to win only because there in the BIG12. If Bama does win I won't mind there one SEC team I can stand.

    Texas big. Against Florida, the bama pass D was horrible. McCoy will be able to exploit that when Tebow couldn't.

    Before anyone bings up McCoy's poor performance against Nebraska, remember that McCoy was under constant pressure by Suh and the other teckle. Bama won't be able to get nearly as much pessure on McCoy without blitzing.

    You really think a Nick Saban coached team will believe that. Look at what he did this year. After losing last year to FL in the SEC Championship game he made damn sure that his team understood what it took to win a championship, and they came out against FL and took it to them.

    Bama SHOULD win this game. They have a better defense, and a more balanced offense. McCoy is Texas's leading rusher, that says a lot about what he means to that offense. But anything can happen, look at what Mack Brown did against a heavily favored USC team a few years ago. This BCS Championship will be a good one, with 2 of the best coaches in college football.

    You can also look at last year's game vs Utah. After losing a close one to Florida, they went into the Bowl game as heavy favorites against a midmajor. Bama was completely and thoroughly beaten in that game.


    Never under-estimate Mack Brown. He knows how to motivate, and he knows how to scheme with the best of them. If I had my guess, Brown and Musschamp have spent as much time breaking down film on Saban as they have spent on Bama.

    Exactly why I pointed out the USC - Texas BSC game. USC were heavy favorites and Mack Brown found a way to motivate his team to come out and win that game in the 4th quarter, when most people had written them off against "one of the greatest teams ever" as many people wrote about that USC team.

    And I agree they will definitely look at Saban's defenses not just at AL. But what is cool about his Bama defense is that they run it very closely to an NFL-style defense. With a defense stacked with experienced seniors and McClain calling plays ON the field after looking at the offensive setup, just another reason why this defense has been a top 2 defense all year. I would love to see what Mack Brown is drawing up to counter this Bama defense.

    I think Bama will probably win, but after hearing a lot of arrogance from some Bama fans about how they are going to kill Texas, I hope Texas pulls it out.

    Bama is lucky not to have a few losses. That Tenn. game should of been a loss and they are dang lucky the refs didnt cause a personal foul on big Coby for taking off his Helmet before the play was even dead. That would have moved Tenn. up closer and another try for 3. Texas all the way.

    And so is Texas... so what is your point? Texas could have lost to Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas A&M. Plus Texas had an easy in-conference and out of conference schedule, blowing out the likes of Wyoming, Central Florida,Texas El Paso, Baylor and Colorado. I think Alabama's schedule was a little tougher.

    Those are usually good teams every year though that's my point. So just put Alabama on that list lol.

    Take a close look at the Bama schedule. I see a total of 1 team worth anything, Florida and that's just because of thei defense.
    LSU lost to the only 3 teams on their schedule that are any good.
    Ole Miss has talent but they don't perform well all that often.
    Florida has a vey good defense, but their offense is well below average.

    You can now look at the Texas schedule and use the same reasoning, just change the teams to Nebraska, TAMU, and OU.
