Bama vs lsu in '11

1. Bama
2. OSU
3. Clemson
4. Washington
Conference championships mean a lot, but they don't mean everything.

It will take a few years but the current contracts won't make the 10-year term. They will be amended or replaced.
This year may also stir some talk about eliminating divisions. Just take the top two teams by tiebreakers.
I agree with you on everything except the 1 non-P5. That's a wasted game imo. Can you imagine BAMA vs WMU in a playoff game? I think we need to separate divisions or just make it 3 at large bids to the three most deserving teams.

This is what it will be and what it should be. Gonna be entertaining games. I don't think Washington can beat Alabama, but I expect Washington to have a bag of tricks for saban

You do that to throw them a bone and give them hope. One of the things that makes college football great is it's reach across the country.

They've given up 2 more sacks than you guys this year.
Again, I'm not predicting Washington even comes close to winning, but they're gonna be the best offense you've guys seen in a while. Peterson knows he can line up and beat you guys so expect a game plan like he used vs Oklahoma in the fiesta the year he beat stoops

We will see. They havent played a team with an NFL front 7. They look outmatched up front on both sides of the ball.
