I knew ND didn't stand a chance against us and ND is one of my most hated teams...so I LOVED this game. My sis(a Bama grad) kept texting me in the days leading up to the game worried about it because she was listening to too much of the ESPN coverage and it had her nervous...I told her to think of them as Ole Miss(who we beat 33-14) and that it would take 2-3 costly turnovers to even make this game close. I'm also really excited about next year too, we only had 9 Seniors on the team, but will lose a few more that leave early(probably Milliner, Lacy and Fluker).
Just out of curiosity, how much is Ohio State losing to graduation/early departures?
My way too early pre-season top 5 for next year are: Bama, Ohio State, Texas A&M, Oregon, and South Carolina(not necessarily in that order). With Stanford and Georgia barely missing the cut.
