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!

    • Why do I think Bill B has a shot at GM President of Football Operations all of a sudden? A more fun question is, could you imagine Tepper’s reaction to the same situation?
    • Here is how I see the first part of the second round going down: 33. Buffalo:  They need a WR above all else, but they could use DL as well.  Johnny Newton has to look like the best value here, but I expect the pick to be Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas. 34. New England:  They would ideally like to add a LT here, but that would be a reach.  Johnny Newton would also fill a key secondary need, but since Maye is likely to start in September, a WR might be the pick.  WR Ladd McConkey Georgia seems to be a Patriot if you think about it. 35. Arizona:  They need a true stopper at CB.  Cooper DeJean CB Iowa, your wait should end now.  This pick could be Kool Aid, and that would be more appropriate in the desert.  I feel 60% confident that DeJean is a Cardinal if he survives Buffalo, but I feel about 30% confident this could be Kool Aid. 36. Washington:  A team with so many needs is hard to gauge.  They got their QB.  This pick could be Kool Aid, but they could also use OT, WR, TE, and Edge.  They have 2 picks in round 2, so they should take the best available player in a need area:  Kool-Aid McInstry, CB Bama. 37. LA Chargers:  Hard to say what Harbaugh will do, but he needs WR and he could go Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State.  However, I think he could use a bit of DL help, and Johnny Newton DT, sitting there with a mid first round grade is too much value to pass up.  They lost Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, however, and they must be replaced.  The Chargers need multiple WRs.  Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State is the pick. 38. Tennessee:  If Johnny Newton, DL Illinois is there, they RUN to turn in the card.  DL is a huge need.  However, I expect a trade up to snatch Newton before he falls this far.  If he is not there, they could take Jackson Powers-Johnson, C Oregon, giving them 2 stud OL.  The pick is very important because the Titans do not have a third rounder. 39.  Carolina: The Panthers definitely need CB and ILB.  There is some debate over C, and there is a quality C on the board--I do not see them going that route, however.  I think they love Cooper and Wilson, ILBs.  I think they like CB Saintrisil.  All are Dawgs.  They could double dip at WR, but I doubt it here at 39--with 2 LBs on the board and a few CBs as well, they could trade back a bit.  Instead of picking a player, here is a list of Best available that seem to be fits and positions of need: EDGE Marshawn Kneeland.  C  Jackson Powers-Johnson CB Enis Rakestraw LB Edgerrin Cooper LB Payton Wilson CB T J Tampa LB Junior Colson CB Max Melton CB Mike Saintrilsil CB Kamari Lassiter DT Brandon Fisk WR Ja’Lynn Polk WR Jalen McMillan WR Troy Franklin WR Dez Walker WR Roman Wilson WR Brenden Rice WR Malachai Corley     DGE Marshawn Kneeland.  C  Jackson Powers-Johnson CB Enis Rakestraw LB Edgerrin Cooper LB Payton Wilson CB T J Tampa LB Junior Colson CB Max Melton CB Mike Saintrilsil CB Kamari Lassiter
