Ummm, hey look, I'm one of the biggest Bama fans you will ever find - I have a huge elephant painted on my bathroom wall, and my kennel name has nothing to do with the color palette - you have NO IDEA how much it pains me to agree with Jacob, BUT....

Jacob is right on this one. Saban said on the post game show when he was interviewed that this team was the biggest group of overchievers, and the least talented NC team he had been associated with. There's nothing wrong with that. Their sucess was not becuase they are the most talented - it's becuase they believed in the process, and committed to the process and had great TEAM chemistry. Or, as someone once said, they believed in themselves, had dedication and pride, never quit. The price was high. So was the reward.

Just a question here. Did Saban actually say that this team was the "least talented"? I did here him say that they were "overachievers", but I missed the "least talented" part. Overachievers can be scary talented as well.

LOL. Eli got the lion share (When compared to Peyton.) of his scrambling ability, but even that was minute.

That's a nice trip down memory lane for you, huh?

Yea it was

After that game, the Bear made the statement that Archie was the best QB any of his teams had ever played against.

Anyone notice the A&M and AL scores were off by only one point. A&M over OK by 41 to 13. AL over ND 42 to 14.
The Aggies missed a PAT.

Yeah, he did. The context of the coversation was regarding the individual talent levels, vs the team chemistry. I actually still have it recorded - I'll re watch it again tonight just to make sure I have the wording correct. Good excuse for me to watch it AGAIN!

I have watched the game now TWICE because it does me good to see the TIDE ROLL over ND...(the most over rated team ) in the country this year.

Should have seen the LSU and Bama scores last year. Crazy!

Hilarious at first but good to read all the way through/

The sea of blue-clad fans inside Twitter Stadium on San Francisco Bay erupts. Brent Musburger, 86 years old but miraculously looking younger than he did 20 years before, intones, "And your 2025 national champions -- the Kentucky Wildcats!

To which Kirk Herbstreit adds, "That's 18 of 20 for the SEC, and this is the most unlikely champion from the SEC era, a program that really found itself under the leadership of coach Tim Tebow."

When Florida crushed Ohio State on Jan. 8, 2007, to claim the BCS national championship, no one imagined that would be the first of seven consecutive titles for the SEC. While the SEC was widely viewed even then as the nation's best conference, most considered the wide world of college football as too laden with regional powers dotting the landscape for one league to take over in the BCS era.

For all you BCS haters/playoff enthusiast. I heard on ESPN earlier that they have decided to have a selection comittee of 16-24(?) people. The guy said they will not go by any BCS,ap,coaches or any other poll out there. He said they will sit down in a room and decide on 4 teams to go to the 4 team "playoff". Could be any team with no curiculum to go by really, they will just be asked to take into account for Strengh of schedule and con. champs.

Would it be to hard for them to just take the top 4 teams in the AP poll to put into the playoff? All day long on the sports radio i listen to they are trying to figure out the 4 teams to go with out a method to the madness. Some of the guys were saying they need to pick the 4 hottest teams at that time. Some were saying leave oregon out due to a head to head loss to stanford and put stanford in. Some were saying put TAMU in the playoff because they had a good back stretch run late in there sch and scrap out the TWO losses they had. It was a even larger mess by throwing in a mediocre undefeated suckeye team.

This playoff is not going to be what alot of people think it is.

-Do you really want to go back to the completely biased and purely emotional based AP Poll!?
It's the whole reason that SPLIT/Championships exist in the first place.
-Look at ESPN and other Sports outlets were VOTERS are writing these SEC HAte Articles. You don't think they'll do their best throughout the year with their votes to KEEP SEC Teams from ganging up in the Play-offs ??

-You're right about that

If they aren't going to go with an expanded sixteen team playoff system pitting conference champions against each other, then just can the whole thing and go back to the AP and Coaches poll where we have endless arguments speculating who the real National Champion is.
