The Ole Miss team Bama lost to would be a 2-3 touchdown favorite over VT. Ole Miss would probably be playing OSU next week if it wasn't for a slew of injuries that decimated their team..
Bama first team OSU faces with more talent

Well then you got your wish.....careful what you wish for.
You and most Bama fans - to use your words - may agree with that statement, but it's laughable and has no basis in fact and my guess is that you would be in the distinct minority across the broader spectrum of knowledgeable, well-informed observers....but that is just my opinion.
They curb stomped LSU? Ok man. LSU a team that were full of freshman playing their first college game eked out a win. They scored 21 unanswered to win the game. Melvin doesn't play defense.
You put Ohio St. In the same division as Bama and they are at a mid tier bowl at best.
That same Wisconsin team lost to NW.

I don't know about that. Those injuries weren't there for LSU.

When is the last time OSU won a game that meant anything? Your fan base is almost as bad as Oregon's. You haven't won anything meaningful since 2002. Going on 13 years..
Thanks for posting that...you saved me the trouble.
If the Ohio quarterback gets tackled rudely and has to sit down (Colt style) I imagine things will get messy in a hurry.
I feel a lot better about our backup at that position.
Yes? And? Ohio State will be the only B1G team playing in the Sugar Bowl on Jan 1......
Your opinion, Sir. And you are certainly entitled to it. Two things I'm hoping for...an injury free game for both teams. And Bama plays it's 'A' game and you will be leaving NOLA wondering what happened. Other than that, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm done.
ROLL TIDE!
Bama is a 9 or 10 point favorite against Ohio State on a neutral field. That means Bama would be favored by 6-7 in Columbus or 12-13 points in Tuscaloosa.
Bama was a smaller favorite on the road against LSU and Ole Miss and a smaller favorite at home against Mississippi State and Auburn.
So it's not just my opinion - it's also the opinion of Vegas.
You guys act like Ohio State is head and shoulders above what Bama plays. Those numbers I posted prove otherwise. It also shows at least 4, if not 5 or 6 other SEC teams have more talent than the rest of the B1G. According to those rankings, the B1G talent would be:
Alabama
Florida
Ohio State
LSU
Georgia
Tennessee
South Carolina
B1G team
Those numbers show that Alabama has played equal talent at least 4 times this year while also showing Ohio State hasn't played the same talent Alabama has week-in and week-out, which also strongly suggests that the quality of player against which OSU has honed their skills is far inferior to that which UA has played.

Certainly, this is only an opinion but I would submit that Ole Miss would have wiped the floor with OSU that day in Oxford. In fact, both Mississippi teams would probably be favored in a bowl game had Ohio State not made it to New Orleans. We do have a healthy respect for OSU here in the South but you guys are definitely not facing the quality of teams week in and week out that Bama does in the SEC West. Given our schedule this year I see you guys with 3 maybe 4 loses.

MSU was number one, beat them 25-20 and that game wasn't that close. We allowed a late score. AU we were up 55-36 and we allowed a late score. I would agree with you but you lost me with those two.
Looking at the schedules and conferences it's safe to say I have no reason to worry, but worry I will because I want Bama to win. We lost to Ole Miss on the last play of the game. They were unbeaten at that point. You all lost to VT. VT!! Your best game was Wischeese. A team that would have been towards the bottom of the SEC East, well, maybe the middle.

Ohio State would most definitely be an underdog to Ole Miss in Oxford. I would guess Ole Miss would be a 1-2 point favorite over Ohio State if they had met in a bowl game.
That would be a problem......not sure who would play in that situation and Urby is keeping very quiet. We do have a Fr available but we'd prefer not to burn his RS but I'm certain he's been preparing in anticipation and our other option is one of our H-backs/WR, Jalin Marshall. Great athlete, significant threat with the ball in his hands. He'll start at H-Back/WR but will take snaps out of the Wildcat on occasion. He was a QB in high school, he can throw it but was a run first guy. You'll see him with the ball in his hands for certain....I hope it is not as QB
Thanks for that. I've never heard him called that before. Somehow it fits him perfectly, well done.
Lol....Ole Miss??? That is some serious SEC homerism there my friend. The average recruiting class ranking of Ole Miss for the last 4 years is #21, with only one in the top 10. I think the only people that believe that are found on this site or others like it in the south. It does make for good humor tho.....
OSU may be 12-1 in the B1G but that's about like being 9-3 or 8-4 in the SEC especially in the West. Of course that would apply to the Pac-12, Big-12, and of course the ACC.
The fact is that this is a huge game for Urban's credibility as a coach. Yes he has dominated the Big 10, but at a time when his biggest rival is down. That along with the fact that he has done nothing on a national stage yet means that the jury is still out on how good OSU truly is as a national player. Testing themselves against their own conference just won't do it at this point. See the fact that all of are underdogs in their bowls.
