The Blue Board

looks like you guys dont have much faith in your squads next season...

strong arguement, you go are awarded a trip to the NC by default for winning so many the last few years? What I was hoping for here is a little more in depth reasoning as to what makes you confident that they will be there... Are you 100% confidant they go into A&M and win next year?

Well if you want to know why I feel that we beat A&M is simple. They lose two top ten picks on their offensive line that was blocking for Manziel while we replaced a ton of starters on our defense this past season. Now we have a bunch of seasoned players on that side of the ball.

I thought that I made it pretty simple by saying that we are going to be better on both sides of the ball than we were this past season. I would think that is a pretty damn good reason to think we will be back in the game after we won it all last season.

Anymore fvcking questions?

Don't see it happening for them next year, isnt next year the last season you guys play shitigan for a while?

FYI, only Luke Joeckel is leaving, Jake Matthews is returning.

However, they also lose Damontre Moore, and the loss of their best OL and best DL is going to hurt. It remains to be seen how Bama's OL will weather the loss of their best two interior OLs, but I imagine they'll reload as usual. I put my money on Bama too, but not because of the OL losses, more because Saban has an entire offseason to scheme against the one guy responsible for him missing out on another undefeated season.

Strong points, A&M loses a top WR/HB as well I believe but they should be pretty strong again as well.... Interesting how Stanford was ranked high on an espin poll, Clemson should be there in the end in the ACC... I dont see any of these teams mentioned in the title game though
