honest question comparing bama to OU

[East Coast Bias]

I think their coaching philosophy is a big part of it. They start with the offensive and defensive lines and build the team from that. Nobody beats them in the trenches, on either side of the ball. They recruit and coach for that result. Watch their linemen play and tell me something different. Their skill players can be mediocre and they still win. Sure they have a heisman at RB, but I say Perrine wins the award behind that line. Close your eyes and imagina any number of QB's running their offense. No Problem....

There's little doubt it's in the offensive line and the defensive front 7 where Alabama, Clemson too for that matter, enjoy a huge advantage over OU.

Say what you will about the SEC, but that's where most of the elite offensive and defensive linemen are going.

When our 2nd team offense entered the game in Dallas late Thursday night against MSU in mop -up duty, 8 former ESPN 300 recruits took the field. As long as we attract that much talent and depth, and retain quality coaches, I think we will continue to be in good shape.

Aha! you just admitted you are in cahoots with ESPN.

We need to get a bunch of players from the Fox Sports 300 list.

When you look at the current rosters for the four playoff teams this year, notice the number of Under Armour All-Americans on each:

Bama 43
Clemson 9
Oklahoma 4
MSU 2

jeeze not even close.

Course I compare this to the Dukes, Kansas, Kentucky of bball....IF I was a AA bball player I'd be at one of those schools (If I had no allegiance to OU)..That's what I don't get.

Bama is good, yes won 3 out of 4 in 9 years, but OU isn't THAT bad...ah well.
