They will bitch slap MSU this year, they owe them one.Comment -
Bama seems on slight decline
I think main issue is coaching the game has passed Sabin byComment -
Agree bigtime on Bama regressing... you cant stay on top forever. Wouldnt go as far to say the game has passed him by though... its just impossible to be at the top forever. I wouldnt be surprised to see a 8 or 9 win Bama team this year.Originally posted by jjgold
When I made this thread I thought Wisconsin had this game at home but its on a neutral field... still like Badgers at +350ish though. I think itll be a tight game. Bama will have QB issues this year...Comment -
Don't care about home/away, UM will be overrated per usual. Please don't tell me you're referring to UM bitch slapping MSU...Originally posted by GoBlue77Comment -
Normally I like betting under dogs, but Nick Saban vs some schlub nobody has heard of...give me SabanComment -
Alabama should be interesting to watch, qb will be a question mark but their front 7 on defense will be nasty, if their secondary plays like a few years ago then it might not matter who is qb. We'll see in about a month!!!Comment -
I'll be at this game so hopefully my Badgers are at least competitive. Hard to argue that they have much of a shot with this big a discrepancy in recruiting between the two programs. If UW running game can keep Bama O off the field, they could at least keep it competitive. I don't have high hopes, but hopefully I still have a reason to be in my seat come the back half of the 4th quarter.Comment -
Won't happen even if I played qbs for Bama. Theyll just dominate the trenches, should be a boring game.Comment -
Bama is SEVERELY being Underestimated...
Please all of you Big 10 homers...keep drinking that Koolade and believing your own hype. You are only buying into Saban's game he is selling and he is selling it so well to you and the whole college football nation. QB is honestly no issue at this moment. I fully expect David Cornwell to get the start against Wisconsin. Him and Coker both are equally talented at QB. Unproven...sure...but please make note. Blake Sims broke the Alabama all time passing record in the SEC Championship game last season. Who did he beat out...Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron..our previous 2 QBs. Bama has only improved every season at QB since Saban has coached at Alabama. Blake Sims was a part time QB and started as a backup RB his first two seasons. Kiffin working with a true blue full time QB can only make these guys better.
Our Defense is already being compared to the likes of our 2011 team and that had comparisons to our 1992 D.
Sure we are a bit short handed at RB but Bo Scarbrough who went out during Spring with a torn ACL is way ahead of schedule and is already participating in 7 on 7 drills at full speed just hasn't been cleared for contact by Dr's. We also have true Freshman Damien Harris and he will be able to play if needed.
WR...Calvin Ridley is our incoming stud Freshman and I've already heard he is better as a freshman than Amari Cooper. Now, we aren't even talking about our veterans such as Chris Black, Robert Foster, Cam Sims, and pay close attention to ArDarius Stewart.
OL...has holes but only to be filled by studs who played mop up last season. Bradley Bozeman will be playing guard and did well last season when filling in for Ryan Kelly at Center.
Secondary...our weakest link for 3 years...Saban hired his former LSU second ary coach Mel Tucker to take over that role from him and Kirby Smart and vast improvements as well as personnel adjustments are being made.
Please, drink that jug of Koolade to the last drop and keep underestimating Alabama. Melvin Gordon set all time records and was a top first round draft pick. You don't just plug in another RB to replace that level of talent. We will feel that loss with Amari Cooper gone but we've had 5 straight years of #1 recruiting classes to at least collect close replacements to his ability.
I'm not saying Bama is a 4 team playoff contender with Auburn, Arkansas, Georgia, and LSU serious concerns on our schedule but to lose to Wisconsin in our first game at a neutral site in the Jerrydome. You've completely lost your mind.Comment -
The Buckeyes though...Comment -

badgers easy in this oneComment -
yup, Buckeyes are the premier program in college football and will be the top dog for the next 5 years at least. I expect a title this year and 2 more in the next 5 after. Bama was on top for a while, now its the Buckeyes turn. Best coach in the nation with a cake schedule every year. Bucks will at least be in the playoffs the next 5 years. Until Michigan comes back (and they will under Harbaugh), Buckeyes have a free pass to the college football playoffs.Originally posted by kmarinouofmComment -
Bucks are soooooo deep at the skill positions its sick. Smith was good but Buck fans wont even remember him by the end of the year. Jalin Marshall will be the big play guy this year. Excelled as a frosh last season...Originally posted by Big BearComment -
of course not lol, I'm realistic. we have a ways to go...Originally posted by surviveComment -
Braxton at WR, gotta admit, longtime Michigan fan but that sh1t scares me.Originally posted by STAXComment -
braxton might be our 4th best WR, maybeOriginally posted by GoBlue77Comment -
Are all of you alleged experts done dreaming now? Let's get down to business. First, Michigan sucks. Harbaugh is not the answer. He has NEVER won anything at the college level and he will not at Michigan. He is simply too big of an arse hole personality wise. That is why the 49'ers quit on him last season.
Alabama does not win the SEC West, much less the SEC title. It is time of Saban to start looking for a retirement home. His biggest giveaway was all of the pre-season whining and crying he has done, especially involving rapid fire offenses. His teams cannot keep up with those types of offenses. Auburn beats Alabama. Georgia has a very good shot. A&M is always tough at home.
Having said all of that, Wisconsin has no chance against Alabama. All Wisconsin knows how to do is run, and that is not the way you beat Alabama. Alvarez runs the team. Chryst was hired to become a "yes" man for Alvarez. The only thing Wisconsin has going for it is their ridiculously easy schedule that should get them to the CC game, and the slaughter that awaits them. Taking Wisky and the ML is just throwing your money away, but the few of you who actually wager in here are experts at that.Comment -

Let's be real, the only way OSU doesn't go undefeated reg season is by beating themselves by complacency. Which is possible, look at the recent suspensionsComment -
im not buying this crap...Rolllll Tide EVERYONE is already counting out Alabama LOL oh yeah!!!,,thaty recruiting team will NOT let Bama down,,this game has been circled!!!! don't fall for this garbage.Comment -
I don't know the reports im reading from camp are reporting he's still learning how to properly run routes but he's being compared to Percy harvin as far as explosiveness and play making ability that's pretty special.Originally posted by STAXComment -
This is a very interesting game, but if I play it I would lean taking the points and Wisconsin.Comment -
I follow the Big Ten closely. I am taking Bama and laying the points in this early tilt. The Wisky O is terrible. If this is a semi cleanly played game by Bama, they should cruise to an easy win. Badgers are not a national powerhouse. Not in the same class as the Tide. Not sure who Bama has coming through after Cooper, but I'm sure it will be someone faster and better then the DB's for Wisconsin. They haven't recruited the speed to compete at a national championship level. That is why they play at such a slow grinding pace and try to win it at the line of scrimmage. Tide has no issues at D line. The one question that remains is does Bama have a good enough O line early in the season to protect their QB. For that reason, I will tread lightly on my wagers early in season. Good Luck this year!
