Stanford was probably the best team they've played but they didn't get Stanford's best shot. Their staff stuck with Nunes at QB through the Notre Dame game and moved to Hogan - who gave their offense some true balance - shortly after that game. I don't think they beat Stanford with Hogan at QB today. Oklahoma was their second best opponent but they're consistently a soft team that struggles to run well in big games outside the Big-12.

I have never seen numbers win a game...it is the players who wear those numbers...and our players are good...we may not win but it will not be for lack of pluck and grit.

Man, folks outside of us REALLY don't want Alabama to win...LOL.
They have a voting thing on Yahoo Sport's Sportstacular app on games. Alabama is only carrying the South, every other USA region is strongly pro-ND and the rest of the world too.

They also played 1 less game than we did. We were #1 in scoring defense going into the SECCG. Their stumbling offense should have trouble.
Yeah and I really don't think games outside the regular season should count in the final regular season statistics. During the actual regular season we led the nation in scoring defense.

I think the game between Notre Dame and Alabama will be a replay of the Bama-Michigan State Bowl game.

Remember, Michigan State was supposed to have an awesome defense as well and by the middle of the third quarter Coach Saban was screaming, "Someone tackle the guy!!". That statement coming as Eddie Lacy ran 70 yards up the middle for a touchdown because Coach S. didn't want to embarrass the Spartans.

This is the preferred analysis and I am in favor of this outcome.

Everyone wants to see the king get knocked down. I don't worry about it
