    Another guy from Alabama radio on Finebaum I think said not one player on UW's team would start on Alabama. I'm hoping the team actually thinks that also, though I figure Saban may check the film a little better.

    This is an interesting exercise.

    Azeem would start there but he's out for the game so I guess that doesn't count.

    Budda would start there.

    Sid would start there. King might.

    One of the DT's would start there but it's hard to define which of the three is best.

    Ross would start there.

    Gaskin or Coleman would start there.

    Browning would start there.

    That's probably it though it's possible Trey would start somewhere on the OL (not at LT though).

    So UW will be starting 6, maybe 7 players who would start at Bama.

    The reason Bama fans feel so confident is because most look at the common opponent. USC's defense was able to stifle Washington's offense while Bama rolled them easily. Bama's defense has more talent than USC's and it showed on the field

    If this transitive bullshit is really the extent of Bama fans analysis then the stereotypes are true.

    It's too bad Saban isn't so short-sighted.

    Although the transitive property isn't the end all be all, it does hold merit. Washington struggles when they face better defenses as every team does, we saw this in the USC game. Well Bama has a very good defense. Bama defense strives on facing pro style teams as well. The last time Bama lost to a pro style team was in 2011. Bama can also spread you out on defense and pound you hard with 3 running backs and a strong, fast QB. While Bama hasn't seen a QB as good as Browning, Washington hasn't seen a team as deep as Bama's

    The rest of your post is decent analysis. Extrapolating that UW could struggle against Bama's defense because they struggled with SC's is decent analysis. Judging anything about UW because of SC's game with Bama is transitive bullshit.
