Team breakdowns

Alabama seems to be strong in all areas. They rank in the Top 25 in all areas heading into the Playoff

Clemson isn't far behind and on paper look like a very legit contender to Alabama.

Oklahoma might be the most Unbalanced team in history as far as Offensive and Defensive performance being on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Being #82 in turnover margin doesn't bode well IMO for them. They just aren't forcing turnovers to make up for the lack of execution by the defense.

Notre Dame is a solid overall team. The question for them will be can they up their game to meet the level of play of Clemson in Round 1.

We need to see these rankings for the last 4 years along with corresponding recruiting team rankings and a list of all recruits with their individual ratings and a separate list for the recruits that were a bust. Please get on this immediately and report back to us within 24 hours.

Should be an interesting example of "Defense wins championships" theory...

If it comes down to defense Clemson has a slight advantage this year. I expect a lot of high scoring Playoff games.

I think our offense looks a little bit better had Ian Book and Dexter Williams been starting in the first four weeks of the season.

Maybe, However Clemson was shifting their QB's as well to start the season before deciding on their guy. Notre Dame has looked pedestrian on Offense at times even with Book (Pitt and USC).

Yep, very true.

It was USC and PITT. Easily two of the hardest teams in the country. I mean both of their coaches said they plan to win games.

And what a coach says in a press conference is super important

Just trying to be fair to all teams involved. But yes Coach Speak is super important.

The real question is. Why are you guys trying to turn this thread into Off Topic instead of staying on topic ? After all that bitching.

Ahhh so you guys are learning!

So the topics need to be about football, but once that criteria has been satisfied its no holds on everything else...

You'll figure it out lmfao.

Not to mention i wasnt off topic. I honestly expected something more substantial than "rankings" when i opened the thread i was thinking actual stats facts and figures...

Thats what i get for setting expectations of a gump

Usually other posters provide more information. That was just the thread starter. It stops the OP from being too long. I guess things are different here in that regard.

That's why is says "Let's look.." as in us together. Supply information about the teams etc.
