    UNC got beat by Baylor who just ran the wildcat every snap.

    I predict a boring battle of field position and FGs.

    I read it on The Internets, so it must be true.

    Anyone betting on the game? The spread I have right now is Alabama -6.5.

    Fair point, which is why I was curious to see if OU were to have similar success vs Clemson, but that ground attack was stymied. Has no bearing on Bama's potential success though.

    Yes, and I feel like getting drunk to calm the nerves. Got a strong futures on Clemson to win the title, so yeah, this sucks, because I think I'll lose.

    Good luck man. Alcohol either calms my nerves or makes it a lot worse for me. :eek:

    I really like the spread right now for Alabama, but I've been wrong many times.

    There are a number of reasons that I have no interest in betting on sports, but this is one of the biggest. I just don't think I'd be able to deal with the nerves of having money riding on the outcome.

    In your shoes, I'd probably just end up trying to fall asleep or something and find out the outcome later. I don't think I could take watching it all play out.

    Interesting. I don't know enough about OU's secondary vs. Bama's, but Clemson's receivers weren't getting open in the 1st half last week without Cain to stretch the field. I expected more of the same tonight.

    Deshaun Watson very impressive so far against this Alabama defense. He looks far better then Cook did against the same defense.

    to be fair, bama's defense is more geared to stopping pro-style offenses than spread offenses. plus, michigan state didn't really belong there.

    Perhaps. Even though Watson just threw interception, what he's done so far is still impressive.
