Yeah what anyone who is so pro Bama this year doesn't seem to realize is take away the name on the front of their jersey and their resume looks an awful lot like Wisconsin's this year.

...with one fewer win.
...and change one of their wins to against an FCS team.

Put it this way, if you had to put up a year's salary on OSU or Alabama to win straight up on a neutral field, who would you pick?

A year’s salary in 2014 and I’d have picked Bama.

Talking this year morons.

Pretty sure he's just making the point that that's a shitty line of thinking.

Honestly I’d probably pick us. Bama’s offense is bleh at best and their OL isn’t special this year. There D is suspect Barn ran it a metric crap ton on them. We can do the same. Barrett can’t make stupid mistakes but I’d take my chances

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Talking this year morons.

Because that changes the point?

 

[Thump]

Because that changes the point?

Yes.

I'd put it on Bama.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Yes.

I'd put it on Bama.

Right. Because that’s the safe play, just like in 14. Just like Miami was in 02. Just like we were in 06. That’s not how you pick who deserves to be in, though.

And the years when Bama won it?

Today, OSU. In 30 days if they get much healthier, probably Bama. But the selection was based on today. If you picked Bama, you didn't watch them in November.
