National Championship Thread: 3 The Ohio State Buckeyes vs 1 Alabama Crimson Tide 8 PM All ESPN Networks


Recommended Posts

MIAMI -- — Trying to figure out which of Nick Saban's Alabama teams is best is akin to picking Michelangelo's greatest work of art or Ernest Hemingway's best novel.

They are all excellent in their own way.

The first to win a national championship came in 2009 and is still the only Alabama team to finish unbeaten under Saban in 14 seasons of unprecedented dominance.

The 2011 national champions had maybe the greatest defense of college football's modern era of high-powered offenses. The current Crimson Tide team has one of the most prolific and talented offenses in the history of the sport.

"Every team is different. Every team has its own personality," Saban said Sunday. "But it's hard to compare teams."

The top-ranked Tide (12-0) are set to face No. 3 Ohio State (7-0) on Monday for the College Football Playoff championship in search of their sixth national title with Saban as coach.

Alabama favored by 9 for my betting folks.

Enjoy the game fellas.

Justin Fields vs Mack Jones. Let's see if Justin Fields can solidify his second spot in the Draft, or if we actually got a chance?

Let’s hope Mac Jones has the game of his life while Justin Fields looks like garbage.

We need Jones to shoot himself up the board tonight so one of the other 3 (Fields, Wilson, Lance) falls to us.

This would work if they drafted based one game worth of scouting.

Guys I will be paying close attention to as much as I can. Fields, Jones, Leatherwood, Meyers, Wyatt, Deonte Brown, Surtain, Moses, Dickerson, Wade, Werner, Browning, Borland, Rucker, Farrell, Forristall, Barmore, Jobe, Sermon. Yeah, pretty much the whole entire two teams. 

I’m excited to watch the Surtain vs Olave/Wilson matchups

If Jones go to have the game of his life then give me Jones over Fields. The kid can play QB. Fans keep thinking that he’s another McCarron or McElroy just because he’s white and not Tua.

I don’t disagree. I think he’ll end up going in the 1st round. He throws a really nice deep ball. Mac Jones is a non athletic version of Ryan Tannehill.

I think we need to pay a lot of attention to Mac Jones. He's going to be available when we pick and I think he's the best choice. How he's not getting more talk after #1 regular season for his team, appearance in national championship game and being the arm behind the WR who is getting the Heisman Trophy.

Won't be watching.

How Saban's Alabama teams remained safe from the NCAA while other SEC teams have been constantly scrutinized is beyond me. Fug him and the Tide.

Ohio State doesn't belong. The selection committee had to justify them being ranked as a top 4 team before the season started, after the season started for everyone else, and remained ranked before they even played a game. They only played 6 games and their own conference had to change the rules so they could play for their own conference championship.

While other ranked teams were losing games because they had players out due to COVID, Ohio State decided not to play half their schedule and it didn't hurt them at all. Hell, if I were coaching a team this season, I would have opted out of every game once I posted first game-first win. I'm in the CFP at 1-0!

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
