They don't have the horses.

They have one NFL player on each side right now. Bama has 9 on each side.

They are simply 1-2 years away in my opinion. 

Probably 2, since there will likely be a new OC next year.

I wouldn’t give it to Bama just yet. The USF game was practically tied until late in the 4th quarter. I can’t recall a time when a top program replaced a great coach with a successful follow up.

If you are talking about back-to-back coaches to win the MNC at the same school, I think it's a short list - or non-existent.

Maybe Notre Dame at some point? Early Michigan, before helmets? The early Ivies?

Forgot about that one, probably because of the time difference.

Ozzie don't get that kind of time these days.

This is one of those things where you just have to tip your hat to Saban (GOAT) and say wow, well done!  As a Buckeye it is nice that tOSU is #2 but what stood out to me was the size of the gap between Bama and everyone else.  #2 tOSU is closer to #5 M than they are to #1 Bama:
  • 61 Bama
  • 49 tOSU, difference of 12
  • 45 UGA, difference of 4
  • 39 LSU, difference of 6
  • 38 M, difference of 1
  • 36 ND, difference of 2
  • 36 PSU, tie
  • 33 OU, difference of 3
  • 31 TX, difference of 2
  • 30 Clemson, difference of 1
  • 30 UF, tie
  • 29 UWash, difference of 1

Bama is just in a world of their own here.

I'm trying to find a path to victory for Wisconsin here and I'm having a hard time. Everything would have to come together in a perfect storm sort of way. Given how UW played against WMU and USD, I just can't see it. Bama has bench players that would start at Wisconsin, at almost every position, except maybe 2-3 players. 

Hunter Wohler, Ricardo Hallman and Will Pauling are the most talented players on the Badger roster.

They need to play 3 DL instead of 2, like they have. Bama will gash them if they only play 2. They need to spy Milroe the whole game, and I think they have a guy to do that. That's their only hope of keeping Bama from scoring at will.

I hope Wisconsin brings an offense.
