Which college football team out there has the best chance to beat Alabama?
 
Michigan.....after they win the Bigten. Good news for us is Michigan is graduating about half of their team this year.
 
Michigan, with a drop back passer would be in trouble with Alabama. Quarterback as key element of running game is essential to move it on Alabama. That leaves me with OSU and Clemson//Louisville capable of beating them.

scUM, Clemson, and don't count out Auburn...except that it's in Tuscaloosa ... looking at common opponents.... Ole miss games were almost duplicates with both AL and Aub not able to stop the pass
 
Interesting that the measuring stick this year is not whether your team can beat Bama but by how much your team will lose.

Good insight. I don't think OSU can stretch the field the way they'd need to.
 
Michigan. I'd put the Wolverines at about 50/50 to beat the Tide.

Maybe Clemson, at about 30/70 to beat the Tide. The NCG last year was close.

tOSU has the horses to compete, but they just seem to be missing something. Not sure what it is. Think they would be about 15/85 to beat the Tide.
 
I actually think Clemson has the best shot, because Clemson can put up maybe 14 to 17 points on them, and Clemson has the pass rush to force that kid to beat you with his arm, not his legs. Clemson has the formula. Michigan can play them head up defensively, but cannot put more than maybe a couple of field goals on the board against that NFL front 7 from Alabama.

They are missing Ezekiel Elliot.
 
I think Clemson because they saw them last year. Also, Louisville is really good this year so they were kind of fortified with that win.
