You see a blow out? You don't think ND matchs up good with Bama? I'm just going off Bama has problems against mobile QBs, so if Golson has a good game ND should win.

Moviefan1203 · 01-07-2013, 06:54 AM

Alabama 23-17.

The Big Blue · 01-07-2013, 05:21 PM

Does anyone know of any plans for re-running the game?

No way.

The teams match up well but Bama has the better, more opportinistic D imo and i think that will be a big advtange. i could see Bama getting a pick or two and / or a fumble and maybe even a pick six. if Bama gets a lead, it's all over for ND. Bama also has the better QB and they've been here before and won this song and dance, Bama hasn't, in any capacity.

23-10 or something. Bama.

ESPN will re-air the game around 4 or 5 am the next morning. at least, they did this with all other bowl games. if you have ESPNU it may be on there as well later in the day.

Thanks.

Sources are saying Rose and Sugar will be the first national semifinals, with the Cotton hosting the finals in 2015. After 2015, the finals will be bid on like the Super Bowl, while the semifinals will rotate through the Rose, Sugar, Orange and 3 other bowls (likely Cotton, Fiesta and Chick-fil-A).

Rose and Sugar will be on Jan 1, and Dec 31 for the others, except when 1/1 is a Sunday, in which case Rose/Sugar are Dec 31 and the others are Dec 30.

There is also a convoluted system for picking the automatic bids to the bowls in non-playoff rotation years.

Yes. The point spread 9.5 points for a reason.

It's because everybody thinks "OMG SEC!" The line is set based off betting strategies, not what the bookmakers actually think the score difference will be.

No they aren't. The spread has barely moved since the oddsmakers put out the original line.

Here are the spreads for the past few BCS title games which had an SEC team vs. a non-SEC team.

2010 - Auburn favored by 2, Auburn won by 3
2009 - Alabama favored by 4, Alabama won by 16
2008 - Florida favored by 5.5, Florida won by 10
2007 - LSU favored by 5.5, LSU won by 14
2006 - Ohio St. favored by 7, Florida won by 27

All five times the SEC team not only won but beat the spread. What you're saying is a myth. There is no betting bias in favor of the SEC. If anything it's the opposite.

fatediesel · 01-07-2013, 07:00 PM

In every BCS title game the favorite has either covered the spread or lost outright.

It's not just for you. It's for every American not a fan of Auburn or of Irish descent.
