I'm making a prediction that I will answer for soon enough...Oklahoma beats Bammer...
I guess I just think differently that most (duh right?). I've heard so many people talk about how Bama is 'mad' that they aren't playing for the title, they'll be out for blood, whatever. Were they mad in 2008? Was Florida mad last year? Typically, what Bama has been through the past few weeks doesn't equal them being 'up' for the bowl game. When you lose your shot at the ch'ip in your final game, you're usually flat as f*ck. Oh wait, they beat the hell out of Sparty after Auburn beat them in 2010? Doesn't matter, they were out of the natty race in November when they lost to LSU. Irrelevant.
Oklahoma, on the other hand, WILL be jacked to be there. They came from nowhere to win the Big 12. And people think Stoops will now have to 'answer' for his comments??? Shit, that dude cannot wait for tonight. HE is the one who smells blood in the water. Especially with all the Saban drama.
I said it. Win or lose. Oklahoma 28, Alabama 17.

kudos and making a ballsy prediction. The only reason I disagree is because I don't think bama will come out flat bc of all the mouth running Stoops has done for the last year and a half. Saban uses that stuff better than anyone I know.

I like your prediction and hope it goes that way. I hate bama.

Baylor won the Big 12.
But I think from our pespective on the motivational aspect that you would have to favor OU. Not of a fan of Blake Bell though. OU will have to be able to throw the ball to win this game.
-
If 'motivation' were the only consideration I'd say you were spot on. I just dont think the Sooners have the firepower. OSU, sure. Up and down as they are, they could give bama fits. But the sooners, at least in my perception, are so similar to Bama that they will struggle to surprise them in any way.
Now, if Oklahoma does to bama what we did, that is to say that they find a way to stop the run and drop 7-8 into coverage without letting bama's qb gut them with long passes, they have a shot.
-
I, too, respect the ballsy prediction, but as much as there is a chance that Bama comes out flat like they did against Utah. you are underestimating Big Game Bob's ability to lose a BCS game. He is something like 1-6 in them, with the only win being against 8-4 Big East champion UConn.

Bob Stoops talks a lot and then gets lit up. When was the last time he won any game of importance. Last SEC team he played was TAMU last year and lost by more that four touchdowns. I'm not a Bama fan but they win by 3-4 scores. SEC > Big 12.

Yep, I was off. I guess they just ruined the Pokes chances, so I assumed they won it. Either way, came from nowhere to earn a BCS bowl.

Never bet against Saben. Alabama doesn't have to be 'up' for this game. The Sooners just aren't that good.

Bama is the best team
In the country. No way in hell they lose to an Oklahoma team that is meh...,Bama wins big!
-
6 to every 1 bet in Vegas is on Bama. That usually means OU covers the 17 point spread, but they don't have the talent to win. OU would probably be the 9th best team in the SEC this year.

Alabama is going to destroy Oklahoma. As Charles Barkley would say, "I may be wrong, but I doubt it."

How did he get that national championship if he has only won one BCS game?

Way too easy on that first drive.

b/c they are. They lost to Texas for goodness sake.

Oklahoma with a missed opportunity there. Stoops gotta be pleased they were moving though.
Bama's defense just not on the level of their past defenses IMO. Good,but not great.
