    Really an exciting first half for Ohio State and Missouri. I can hardly wait to see the second half.o_O

    Did they substitute the Iowa spring game for the Cotton Bowl?

    Here's hoping for a Texas/Alabama rematch in the Championship game.

    I think the key to the Alabama/Michigan game is defense. If Alabama can contain Corum and I think we can pressure McCarthy and outscore Michigan. If we can't stop their running game I don't know if we can outscore them. Michigan has to pressure and contain Milroe. I know I'm being captain obvious but to me (as almost always) defense is the key.

    Bama is going to have to be aware of JJ getting outside the pocket. He is a real threat with his legs, does a great job extending plays and really adds another dimension to the M offense. I don't think he gets enough credit nationally for his athleticism, he's a real pain in the a$$. The threat of the QB run makes the M run game that much more difficult to defend. I'm looking forward to the match up

    I don’t disagree but I think saban concentrates on taking away opponents strengths. Alabama can’t stop Corum but they can concentrate on containing him. Alabama plays mostly man defense which does make us vulnerable to a running qb. If I was Michigan I would play zone coverage and spy on Milroe. Milroes weakness is reading defenses and our wide receivers are not great at creating separation

    The Badgers gave LSU a run for their money, but lose 35-31.

    Wild game so far, and the Tide scores first off a bad snap.

    Terry, you could have run through that hole for a TD.
