I do agree Petersen is a huge X factor , one of the only coaches that could out coach Saban in a game. I'll be very interested to see some trick plays he dials up.

Personally, I believe that Washington is the team that the Tide doesn't want to play due to their playing style. If Browning gets good enough protection, I think it will be interesting. If not, Alabama will roll.

Thats an interesting question. What other coaches besides Peterson and I'm just going to assume you have Urban Meyer in there too, but who else would you put on that list?

Do you like them as a fan or do you like the team because you think they are good?

 

I like them as a fan followed them all season.

Fair enough. Certainly unusual to be fans of two teams at literally the total opposite part of the country, so that's why I was confused. I was taking you making a bold prediction about Washington beating Bama, with the same tone as your bold predictions against Ohio State and the Bengals.

I like several teams.

So for the record I think Saban is the best coach. These are just coaches I think could put together a game plan on a one game basis , not that they would but could.

 

Petersen , Meyer and maybe Harbaugh, interestingly I think Hugh Freeze has the best record against Saban.

I'd put Dabo on that list too. But it's certainly a short list.

Dabo is a great coach and motivator, but he's not an Xs and Os guy. He and Clemson spend big money so he doesn't have to. Just not his deal IMO.

You know exactly what his MO is...

Bama covers the spread

Bama covers the spread

 

What is the spread?

This game goes 1 of 2 ways. 1) Bama blows them out by 30 2) Washingtons O line plays great and Washington wins a shoot out.

I would say there is an 80% chance the 1st option happens.

What is the spread?

 

I think it opened Bama -14

It will get to Bama -19 before the game is played.
