You should not focus on who beat who, because rankings and wins and losses do not give an idea of a team and their abilities..

They haven't played a team as good as Michigan St this year. I don't think they can blow out a talented, well coached football team. They are used to feasting on average teams all year!!!!! I will take the points.

I now you don't want to believe it, but this game will play out exactly like the SEC Championship Game minus the punt return and the Hail Mary.  Alabama minus anything less than 2 touchdowns is an absolute gift from the oddsmakers.  For the love of God, take the free money!

But the team that got trounced by OSU is going to cover 10 against MSU? Yeah this years team is different. Same coaches, same QB, same RB, a couple of pieces of the line are same, etc. You can throw stats till your blue in the face, Mich St is just a solid pick when they are a big dog. Alabamas secondary is good, but they haven't seen WRs like Burbridge and Kings Jr all year. Burbridge > Treadwell. Ohio st defense is not that far from Alabama defense. They are both extremely talented. If mich st scores first, that's going to be a tough task to cover 10. You better hope Bama scores first.
