I think the month to prepare talk is based solely on Saban's last three BCS games. Don't forget Alabama lost in 2008 to Utah. As far as what happened forty years ago, Texas is 7-1 against Alabama. All those wins from decades ago didn't help Texas in 2009. Nothing is the same except the shape of the ball.

There is absolutely nothing Notre Dame can do offensively that Alabama can't stop. We've been hearing about the Irish and their front seven since September, but they've never lined up against anything like what Alabama can put on the field, including Stanford. Bama's played several defenses that are as good as Notre Dame. May not matter, as Georgia can beat Alabama if Alabama doesn't execute. Hopefully, Georgia will wear that all black getup like the last time they played.

Alabama will be a 40+ betting line favorite against Auburn, 14-17 point favorite in the SEC Championship game against GA and 14-17 point favorite against ND.

...my 50 dollar charity bet still stands if any ND fans are really as confident as they claim. money can go to TNdeer or a charity of the winners choice.

football played in the 70s and 80s has nothing to do with what is happening today. Until ND wins a BCS game they are still irrelevant.

I am not a Nd hater like I might sound, merely a realist.

Bump for Vermin or any other ND Coolaid Drinkers. Charity bet still stands if its a Bama/ND BCS Championship match-up.

So would you say Bama had a tougher schedule than ND?

Say what you will. Bottom line...there is one undefeated team..it aint Alabama. They had their chance and blew it. They may get another and they may kill ND..but at his point they don't belong in the #1 spot.

I would say that Alabama would be 12-0 with Notre Dame's schedule, yes. I also think Notre Dame would be 10-2 with Alabama's schedule with losses to LSU and A&M. Stanford is a good team, but they don't have the horses or even a Horse to beat The Tide. West Coast teams have great skill position players but they lack the athleticism across the board that the top SEC schools have. It's college football and anything can happen in one game, but I'd take my chances.
