Title: Poll: Top non-conference games of the 2012 season Post by: 2Stater on February 17, 2012, 04:15:44 PM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/02/poll_top_non-conference_games.html
Quote We want to know which non-conference games involving SEC teams you are looking forward to most next season. We've listed some of the top options below in our poll but you can write in your own if we didn't include the game you're looking forward to the most. Obviously I voted the Bama/ Michigan game, but the UF vs FSU and Texas vs Ole Miss are intriguing games as well. Will the UF/ FSU game get some hype this year or will it be a disappointment for both teams like last year? I don't expect a lot from Ole Miss, but it will be interesting to see if Texas is, once again, the worst team for the dollar in the NCAA.

They won 28-24 in the 1988 Hall of Fame We won 17-14 in the 1997 Outback They won 35-34 in OT at the 2000 Orange when Tom Brady got 369 yards and 4 TDs. Enough is enough!

Enough is enough! The 2000 Orange bowl was a soul crusher. I remember it well. I think Michigan's defense that was much improved against Big 10 teams last year will not match up well with Bama's O. I think with AJ having a season under his belt, not to mention a NC, and the awesome talent at running back, Bama can almost score at will. The D will be young, but if they key on Robinson and stay in his face, we should come away with a fairly comfortable win. If they don't contain Robinson, it could be a tough night. |
