Roll Tide!
Weird game, but I'll take the win.
Bama offense never got into a sync, and MSU had too many "WTF are they doing" moments.
The Bama 49 yard FG was stunning... I was stunned they actually made a FG.

I know it's another year away but where do you think Tua goes in the draft?
If Tua continues to play at this level and/or continues to develop during this season and next,
IMHO, Tua has the potential to be the consensus overall 1st pick in 2020.
At the very least, he's a first rounder.
He has all the physical attributes (accuracy, arm strength, vision, anticipation, pocket presence, etc...) and all the mental attributes (pre-snap reads, decision making, leadeship, etc ...) that an NFL franchise could want in a QB.
The only thing he is lacking right now is experience.
If you are looking for a good non-biased (homer) assessment of Tua passing, I recommend this guy:
He is a former a Miss St QB, and presently an analyst for Miss St.
He broke down all of Tua's throws from 2017, and he has done some here and there from this season.
He speaks very highly of Tua, and during an interview this year, said Tua had the best anticipation of any QB in college this year.

Have you ever tried roasting your own?
Sweet Maria's offer trail/sample packages of 4-1lb bags for about $20.
They even have one for espresso:

I will also recommend Peets, either the Italian Roast or the Major Dickinson's.

This is an interesting 9 minutes if you are a fan of CFB
So, the SEC is over rated, the ACC is over rated, the BIG10 in under rated, and it's the ACC's fault.
Reality check. Klatt has argued for using 2-3 different committees.
If he has a problem with confirmation bias and influential bias, how does adding more committees eliminate that?

Of course it's flawed. Every single FBS school should have at least a path to the national championship, like in basketball. If I ran things I'd have every conference champion in the playoffs plus one will card. 8 teams. I don't care if you think your team is better than the Sun Belt or MAC champ. Your team should have won it's conference. Case closed. No arguments.
Every system is flawed. Every argument is flawed. Even yours.
Let's start with:
"If I ran things I'd have every conference champion in the playoffs plus one will card. 8 teams."
5 P5 conferences + 5 G5 conferences = 10 teams
1 wild card
Basic math: 10+1 = 11. Try again.

Roll Tide Roll! SEC West Division winner.
A great game. Old school Bama ball. A punishing running game, and a suffocating D.
Quinnen Williams was an absolute monster out there.

What happened to what's his name that coached them just before Pruitt?
Here is rundown of coaches since Fulmer:
Lane Kiffin - 2009. Lasted one year. Bolted for the USC gig as soon as it opened. Vol fans went into mob mode.
Derek Dooley - 2010-2012. He didn't make it through the 2012 before he was fired. 3 straight losing seasons.
Butch Jones - 2013-2017 was canned during the 2017 season after going 4-6 overall, and 0-6 in the SEC.
Irony: After the 2017 season, Bama hired Jones as an offensive analyst. And yes, he did smoke a cigar after Bama beat Tenn this year. Vol fans were not happy.

Should have never gotten rid of Philip Fulmer, haven't been the same since. I haven't watched Tennessee in years.
Who's there coach now?
I agree Tenn should have not gotten rid of Phat Phil. It would have been fun watching Saban crush him year after year after year.
As for the coach, that would be Jeremy Pruitt, Bama's DC last year.

Bills - For obvious reasons
Buff Bandits - MILL Champs
Bama - CFB National Champs (Teague running down the Miami player and stripping the ball is still a great memory)

That is a big part of the genius of Nick Saban. People talk all the time about Saban being a recruiter rather than a coach. He wins because he always has the best players. Blah, blah, blah. The fact is, Saban's teams fairly consistently play to their standard, regardless of opponent. You don't often see a "flat" week. He manages to get 18-22 year old kids to play their game, whether it's LSU or the Citadel. It's why Bama has only lost by 14 points once in 12 seasons under Saban.
You've been talking to Barners I see. That's a favorite talking point among them. That, and the Illuminati control/pay everybody off.
Barners used to argue that Malzahn is a better coach than Saban, because Malzahn can make in game adjustments.
Funny how that noise slowly dissipated, and went dead quiet after the onside kick in the first Clemson NC game.

That was 6 years ago, and I think things have changed a little.
I quite agree. It's vastly different. I think the only thing in common between then and now is Nick Saban.
And we know how much of difference maker he is.

I heard a stat that the team is averaging 38 points per game......in the 1st half!!!
Tua has 25 TDs and 0 ints and he has not played a down in the 4th quarter.
The team is averaging more than 9 yards per play.
Out of 480 minutes of football, the team has only been losing for 70 seconds.
It would seem that nobody could maintain stats like this but, like the Tide or hate them; something very special is happening down there.
Couple of other tidbits:
Baker Mayfield set an NCAA record last year for the highest QB rating.
Tua is 40 points higher after 8 weeks.
Tua's TD to Pass attempt ratio is approx 1 TD for every 6 pass attempts.
14 hours ago, Bill from NYC said:This is the polar opposite of what is going on with Tua. I am now convinced that you are not watching these games.
He may or may not be watching, but it's obvious he is just trolling at this point.

he's for real, a great college QB, placing him in the HoF for his NFL career is a bit premature
I do not see anybody proclaiming Tua as a sure fire NFL HOF QB.
But he does possess skills that make NFL scouts take notice.
He has the arm, the accuracy, the anticipation, the field vision, the leadership, the internal drive to get better, ...
He's not just a great college QB, he is the best college QB playing right now.
If he continues playing at this level next year, or improves, there every reason to believe he has the potential to be the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft.

I would really like to see the Alabama offense go up against the Michigan defense...
So would I.
But the last time Bama played Michigan, I kept hearing about how Bama was going to struggle handling Michigan's offense with their superstar Dennard Robinson.
Bama hung 31 points on them including a pick 6 on Dennard before Michigan even scored a point.
Game was essentially over by that time, and the game was still in the 2nd quarter.

Does anybody care about Alabama games anymore? The only real drama any more is whether they'll cover the spread.
I'd assume the Alabama faithful still care. At least kinda, but they're gonna get bored with this eventually too.
I'd rather watch a Thursday night MAC game on ESPN2 than this weeks sacrifice to the all powerful Saban
Seriously doubt that.
Ever year is different. Watching Tua play QB this year is right up there with watching the Bama D in 2011.

Yes, actually you completely missed the point. Any big team with a well known QB never gets treated like that. Brady, Brees , Big Ben, Rogers even Mahomes would totally get that late hit call but not the Bills. Which was the POINT.
Here, I'll help you out. OP's original post:
6 hours ago, jtothebrown said:The refs are still treating this team like they dont belong to the NFL! Im not saying they are tge reason for the loss completely, thats on Nate, but they definitely had some game changing calls and lack there of as well.
The call on Tre for interference. The no call on PI! The no calls ever on Jerry Hughes getting constantly held!
Its almost like were treated like were not supposed to be there, and im sick of watching our players go out there and get played like this!
We need our ownership and coaches to take the fines and start publicly talking about this after games. It may not help a ton, but i notice when certain owners and coaches talk about it, things change a little.
Show me where OP states anything about the officiating against another team other than the Bills in that post.
Show me where OP has stated that this "disrespect" goes beyond the Bills, and impacts other non-"big league teams" in ANY post up to this point.
1 hour ago, Livinginthepast said:Thanks for the advice about watching other teams than the Bills which I already do and thanks for your stunning insight that there is questionable/crappy officiating in every game. Look at my original post and see the following sentence "The refs are inept league wide". I guess that wasn't clear enough.
And in your very next sentence: "the refs don't dare call garbage or miss blatant calls on the "big league" teams."
So, they are inept, but not so much for the "big league" teams.
1 hour ago, Livinginthepast said:I never mentioned any conspiracy against the Bills so not sure why I need a "Tin foil" beanie.
We have the lowly Bills (and can I assume other non-Big league teams?), who don't get the benefit of the doubt, on one hand, and "big league" teams on the other, who "the refs don't dare call garbage or miss blatant calls on".
Sounds like a conspiracy to me, when one group is treated differently than the other group with consistency and intent.
1 hour ago, Livinginthepast said:Don't think its whining for the Bills to call out the refs for not doing their job publicly. It makes sense because whatever the Bills are doing now (or not doing) isnt changing anything in the league office.
Fans of all teams have been bitching about the officiating screwing their team over for decades. How has that worked out?
The whining part comes into play when fans seem to think the crappy officiating only happens to their team and/or a limited number of teams.

So the Bills just lost their starting "franchise" QB on late and illegal hit and there was absolutely no call from the officials on the play.
What?! You mean to tell me that there is some crappy officiating in the NFL? Who would have guessed.
30 minutes ago, Livinginthepast said:and your response is that the Bills organization should say nothing about this? and fans should not be justifiably outraged?? because its "whining".
I have no doubt the Bills organization will notify, or already have notified, the NFL offices regarding said late hit.
It is not uncommon for teams to submit items and situations, like the the late hit, to the NFL for review.
When they do, they just do not announce it publicly.
30 minutes ago, Livinginthepast said:That's pure brilliance. In addition, you've also completely missed the OP's point about the refs disrespect towards the Bills which is proven by the aforementioned illegal hit.
I did not miss the OP's point. A late hit that was not flagged is not proof of disrespect of the officials against the Bills.
It's proof of a missed call/crappy officiating. Nothing more.
Don't believe me?
Go put on your tin foil beanie, watch more football games than just the Bills, and you will see there is questionable/crappy officiating in every game.
There is no conspiracy by the NFL, or it's officials, against the Buffalo Bills.
Now, stop the whining.

Yes, now that Louisiana State has won, imagine what that would have done for the Tigers had they not lost to Florida last week.
What the Hell is going on today? Penn State & Auburn losing at home, Notre Dame & Central Florida both escape.
Auburn is a dumpster fire.
There are rumors and rumblings out of the Barner locker room, and it's not pretty:.
https://www.secrant.com/rant/auburn-sports/insider-notes-from-bm-247/79323287/
And that was before the loss to UTenn.
Malzahn is on the precipice of the locker room imploding, and losing the team.
It doesn't help that Malzan's buy out is approximately $33M+, meaning Auburn is stuck with Gus for the next couple of years.

Looks like Auburn can finally get Petrino as their HC.
Oh wait. There is that pesky $32M buyout from Malzahn's contract.
