I love it. Now we just need a couple saying Mich State is going to trash us because our pass defense is worthless.

The first two don't count for obvious reasons. Athlon did an article like that for all 4 teams in the playoff.Mark Schlabach predicted us two months ago.
Tim Brando - believe it or not - picked us to win it all back on April 21.
Brando has maintained this position on Twitter in recent days as well while pointing out Mich St is not a pushover.
Steve Lassan picked us two days ago.
and this will be the first Bama team to ever do that. Right?:wink:I keep hearing the talking heads say our offense worries them. I'm assuming that is part of the reason, but we will win the championship with our defense. IMO.
You nailed it...all about the money in today's world. You can make his case or you can make any one of 3 other cases...let the games begin.P"
I don't care what he personally thinks, but he is a representative of cbs sports--an entity that has a huge financial stake with our conference. Interpret it however you want, but given That connection I find this rather interesting. And bringing to light more bulletin board material doesn't hurt.

Being a sportswriter is easy.Interesting considering that the CBS network has a relationship with the SEC....

I have red about 20 different sports writers' predictions for the playoffs, and NONE have picked Alabama to win it all. Now, none were from the Southeast, but that is still startling. Have you guys come across articles with a writer picking Alabama to win it all?
To be clear, most are picking Alabama to beat MSU, but they expect Alabama to lose to Oklahoma (and a few to Clemson).
They may very well beat us. But if you set the line on the game today, we would still be Bama -6 or so.
Don't go down this rabbit hole. I have tried to explain how the line is set and why it moves for years. It falls on deaf ears.You understand that this doesn't mean that Vegas thinks that Alabama will win by 6, right?
