I've seen Bridgewater play enough. I think he'll be the real deal. I haven't seen Mariota or Carr enough to make a prediction.

IF the Vikes do end up drafting Manziel, it might then be a good idea to keep Simpson to catch some jump balls.

Anybody watching Carr vs. Fales today? Crazy game. Combined for 12 touchdowns in the first half.

We probably had our scouts scouting the DBs.

I think we should avoid him.

I think we can now say that Ohio State doesn't deserve to be in the title game

450 yards passing by Michigan?

Not a fan of bama qb. He throws slightly off target a lot. Looks like Ponder II.

While the outcome was stunning, that final play wasn't.

Saban had to know that a short FG had a good chance to go the other way. I thought they called the TO to prepare for it.

I was surprised he would risk the season on a 56 yard FG by a backup, freshman kicker.

It would have been better to go for the hail Mary and hope for a flag. Hind sight is 20/20 though. Awesome game.

That was a draining game to watch.

Saban made a few very questionable decisions, including that FG attempt.

That was a very entertaining game to watch. I love that Hoke went for the win, too bad they didn't convert.

Right now it looks like it could be Florida State vs. Ohio State. Alabama is probably better than both teams. Is there a scenario where they could still make it to the championship game? I'm thinking that they can not. Auburn or Missouri could squeeze in if Ohio State loses vs. Michigan State, which could happen.

That's a big leap.

FSU is better on both sides of the ball than Alabama, and they have a great FG Kicker

Auburn has clinched a berth in the SEC championship game. If Missouri loses vs. Texas A&M, who would Auburn play? Alabama?

Bama and Auburn are both in the West.

South Carolina.

Thanks. So Alabama does not have a scenario that I can see to make it to the championship game.

Is it possible for Bama? Hmmmm......They lost late in the year so that doesn't help, but:

- Missouri goes down tonight
- Auburn loses the conf champ game
- Mich St beats Ohio St

That just might do it. Also would help if Oklahoma beats Okl St. I don't think they would rematch Florida St vs Clemson. It was a blowout the first time.

Or, I could be wrong about Ohio State. Check this out:

If the Tigers win, Auburn would move on to the SEC championship game against either Missouri (10-1) or South Carolina (9-2). The winner of a potential Missouri-Auburn scenario could have enough schedule cred to pass an undefeated Ohio State, according to ESPN.

That's not a wildly implausible scenario, but I can't see Auburn losing in Atlanta.

I just couldn't believe that Saban went for it on 4th and short instead of kicking a FG to push it to a ten point lead. I had a feeling that might haunt them later. The 56 -yarder is was just crazy. Two very questionable decisions by a great coach.
