Miami Alabama Orange Bowl

You realize that the Home environment would not be the same as our regular season game. I truly believe we would get worked whenever we were on offense. Be careful what you wish for fam

Like Bama worked that 8-4 Miss St offense?

We'd beat Bama easily because they'd treat it like the Sugar Bowl against Utah. It would be disappointing to them.

When Clemson, Wisky, Oklahoma, and Auburn lose this weekend, we will be playing Bama in the Sugar bowl....in the Semi-Finals.

I swear I'm not trying to be negative here but if we play Alabama we would get destroyed physically.

We would need to create at least three turnovers to keep the game close.

I'm glad somebody else posted it because that has been my opinion about a meeting with Alabama, whether it's in the playoffs or Orange Bowl. Worst possible physical matchup for our program at this stage. They would be in the backfield wiping out the RPO exchange on one play after another. The pass defense is very, very good and Saban with time to prepare is not going to be friendly to an erratic quarterback. On offense they would methodically mirror what Pittsburgh did to us, but at a much higher level.

This was a scary Alabama team before the bunched injuries hit the defense.

I have no idea where this notion comes from that Alabama doesn't show up when the title is not on the line. The only example of that was the Oklahoma game in the Sugar Bowl a few years ago. That was the 2013 season, the only one in recent history that Alabama had a very supbar pass defense by their standards. The other qualifying game was the 2010 season in which Alabama was so furious after blowing the 24-0 lead to Cam Newton and Auburn that they took it out on Michigan State, 49-7.

Besides, Alabama is hardly out of the national championship hunt. I am among the many who are shopping for the best price on the Tide to win the national title. It has been a topic on betting forums the past two days. There are some juicy numbers out there. Some spots are not budging and leaving it in the 4/1 or 5/1 range but elsewhere it's been adjusted to 12/1 and I've seen 14/1. Certainly wouldn't be the worst investment I've ever made, even if Alabama gets shut out. Make it into the tournament and suddenly you are favored in any matchup. Unfortunately there aren't as many independent joints as the old days..pre mergers. This is the type of thing where some dunce mathematically clueless independent sportsbook manager would overreact and throw up 20/1.

Not sure what Awsi loves more, the wishbone, Alabama or telling everyone how right he is (always after the fact, of course).
 
Could any of you imagine being an opposing head coach, excited for making it to the Orange Bowl, only to find out you're playing Miami in that game? Every player & coach in country knows what the Canes did the last time they played in a big time game at Hard Rock. That wouldn't be an appealing matchup for any coach, even Saban.
 
If we play Bama in the Orange, I'm there. Fvck them and George Teague.
 
I think Bama will make it over Ohio State. So I think we’ll be playing Ohio State.

I didn't say I think we'd get blown out. In fact, I think if we got every single break to go our way we might have a chance to win.

But Alabama's strength and conditioning is on another level. It would be very very ugly in the trenches.

I didn't say you were a homosexual. In fact, I think if a homely woman with short hair and the look of a young Justin Bieber approached you after you'd had several chardonnays at your favorite wine bar, you might let her touch your pipi.
