My local book is giving South Florida +4 & Miami +14.... I'm feeling real good about those numbers.... Im interested in hearing what you guys think about these spreads?  I was leaning Miami +12.5 but +14 seems like a mo brainier to me. NC can score, but i think Miami should be able to keep it reasonable.

They are the most complete team on both sides of the ball in the nation. There is not a single team that can run on our defense, or handle our pass rush or secondary. And there is not a single team left that has a defense that can stop Derek Henry, and Jake Coker is playing at the top of his game as well. 

Not the same team that struggled with Tennessee?  That was only 3 weeks ago.  It's all about matchups.  LSU does not match up well against Alabama.  And they are predictable.  If Bama is great at anything it is stopping the run.  So how is LSU going to win running ANYONE up the middle 50 times?  Ohio State or Clemson could spread Alabama out and leave room for mistakes.

Agreed, they aren't a different team now.  But LSU did try to spread it out...they just failed miserably because Alabama shut down the running game early on and their passing plays became forced.  Where they really lost was the time of possession battle.  Bad play calls resulted in too many short drives and punts.  If anything, Alabama is predictable on offense...but still could not be stopped.

Also, Fournette didn't even rush the ball 20 times...LSU as a team only had 26 rushing attempts. This whole notion that they played a predictable game is rubbish....they tried to keep Alabama on their toes, but blew it from every angle.

And no, I'm not one of those "Bammer fans" or an "SEC guy."  

There are handful of really good teams that could beat anyone on any given day...it's time fans/alumni of each of these programs accept it.

I'm paraphrasing here but the point is still the same...  Ppl continually give bad SEC teams a pass because of those 3 little letters.... S E C 


If most ppl could look at that conference with an open mind, they'd see it's not running away with anything.  I know I'm just beating a dead horse but it really is astounding.  I use Bama as the example because they are the highest ranked SEC team.  But who have they really played??  LSU and Ole Miss.  The rest of their schedule is just as much of a joke as Ohio states is 



nah it's def better than Ohio States

They played a predictable game in the sense they failed to cover and Alabama was one my easiest winners this year, along with Bama vs. UGA. Because the lines were low and LSU and UGA don't have the QB to take advantage of Alabama in space.  There are a few teams that do, however, and it would show some sense if the Bama fans would admit it.

Curious as to your reason for selecting Georgia Tech, when they continue to regress, and Virgina Tech is improving.

I think both teams are about even really... I like the home team here and IMO, Paul Johnson is light years better than Beamer. The young running backs have had time to prepare for this game and I think they show it tonight.

oddly enough as many injuries as G.T has had.... they can still win out vs....V.T, Miami and Georgia and still go to a bowl. There is still alot on the line here for this team....and yes, they are capable of beating all 3 of those teams I mentioned.

As usual very much appreciated, and I cannot say I am looking forward to meeting you at the pay window, as I am on Virgina Tech, as I feel they are the much better team at this point in the season if they do not turn the ball over.

I'm starting to believe in MSU to beat Alabama. Gawd, wouldn't that be great? TO BE FREE OF BAMA!!!

SNAP!! I'm dreaming right? Too good to be true. I'm sure we'll see a 55 yard FG from that skinny frosh whose helmet wobbles on his head and Bama survives. FCKKKKK

Boom--it is NOT surprising you get SEC fans in here hating on Clemson. They are supporting their brethren like idiots. Clemson is winning the recruiting war in SEC country, and a National Championship would be a huge victory for future recruiting. South Carolina has been fuming for years, and the SEC faithful drop their biases and pick up the baton for S. Carolina. They are praying to Geesus that So Car beats Clemson.. HAHA

Hey Bum Bum,that the best you can do is say SEC fans are "inbreds".  Typical intelligent South Carolinian thought/retort. Bama still not belong in the Fianl 4 to this point in the season?? Be afraid,be very afraid. Bama coming to a stadium near you. BOY I sure hope SO!!!!!
