Bama. Lots of Bama
If UW can keep the 4 man pressure and keep Hurts in the pocket he kind of sucks passing. Bama does not have the thumper back. What they do is use Hurts as a runner to make up for both shortcomings.
Their defense is really good. Reminds me of Washington. Bama has overcome a lot of their spread shortcomings over the years. They get pressure from 4 and play great coverage and score a lot on defense. And special teams.
Washington is an easy 14-17 point dog in this one, but if they don't turn the ball over and keep Hurts contained in the pocket they can stay in the game and anything can happen.
Clemson is good and bored with another long season before they get a shot at redemption. They would not be as easy to beat in the playoffs as they appear right now. But very beatable all the same by our defense. The fact that UW doesn't have to gamble or bring 7 to get pressure puts them among the elite in the nation.
Same story going against Ohio State. Barrett can throw but not on his back. He beat Wisconsin with his legs.. Ohio State has a Bama level defense. Tough to score on either of them. You can't make mistakes and you have to get 7 when you are down there in scoring land.
Fuck Michigan and their running up the score on shitty teams from New Jersey. Win something that counts Harbaugh. Not even scouting them since Ohio State will pound their ass.
You may think UW doesn't belong in the discussion but they do. This is a GOOD Washington team

hatelove to doog, but Qualls, Vea, and Emtman Jr. are all going to play on Sundays. What they do up front is a nightmare for anyone in the nation.Also, what makes Browning special is his ability to read the defense pre snape and audible. The efficiency rankings aren't an accident. He's a poor man's Peyton and that's what you need to beat these teams.
If Browning is the QB at Wisconsin they win last saturday, nuff said on that.
Browning throws absolute dimes and a lot of QB's at other major programs suck.
Maybe a big elite OL that pulls in coordination can fuck our undersized edge, besides that we're pretty much SEC all around.
King, Baker, Victor, Jones, Gaines, Vea, Qualls, are guaranteed nfl.
We can stop people. Time to doog.
I would actually be more worried about a really good spread-to-run attack than a power run one. I definitely don't trust Wooching on read plays and I am not sure I have complete faith in Mathis on them either.
So Ohio State and Louisville would be scarier to me, on offense, than Bama or Michigan.
I'm not sure how they would look against Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State, but they look great against the Pac 12. We've been running it down the opponents throat and Browning is rarely pressured. Locker and Price were pressured every other pass attempt.
I didn't think I'd see the day again.
I would have no problem playing Michigan in the playoff or Rose Bowl.
Besides Alabama, tOSU also scares the hell out of me. Gotta win the rest of the games but Urban Meyer takes down a lot of coaches come postseason time (he's 10-2 in bowls).
