Well, I like the Tide. I mean as a football team, not as a partisan. I've not seen as much Texas as I'd like, but they run worse than the Tide throws, and their defense is not in the same neighborhood.

Fundamentally, I'm saying Alabama is the most complete team in the country. If it weren't for kick returns and a mild discomfort I get about the secondary from time to time, this would be a nearly perfectly rounded team.

Florida's offense has looked pedestrian at times. Texas (as noted) can't run all that well. TCU and Cincinnati - guys, I know it's tough, but you have to play somebody to be in the conversation. Sorry.

So, I think the best two teams in the country play in Atlanta next week. Should be fun...
