seems quite a few people think we are not able to handle the elite teams. I only point this out because I made a post about our play calling and I was slammed pretty good for that, as I feel we have the talent in place now, but our play calling is way too predictable and we need to start passing more on 1st and 2nd downs to open it up for Beanie. Get Hartline and Robiskie back into the game on 1st and 2nd downs. Beanie is not going to break those runs against a USC type team - they know how to tackle better then a Northwestern.
aside from that -
I have watched Alabama play in quite a few games this year and I really think we could handle them. I personally believe they are over rated and despite what people say about the SEC, there only good win was against Georgia and Georgia did not play a great game.
I would like to play them because they are on everyone's love list this year so after we beat them, we would get a lot more respect then beating say LSU.
I would be scared of Texas Tech and Florida, I think they are the two best teams in the country. As for those who do not want to play a SEC team this year, no way. This would be the year to play them. Aside from Florida and Alabama(which you know my thoughts on them), the SEC is not that good this year. Take a look at LSU - they are afraid to throw the ball at any critical point because Lee throws so many picks - 7 returned for td's.
Georgia is a team that can be real good one game and so so the next, and I think we match up well against them.
Who else do they have - South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, - SEC is WAYYYYYY over rated this year. Conference that is the deepest would be the Big 12.
I notice in the ESPN Bowl Projections they have us playing Texas in the Fiesta.
