re: number one class actually.

Don't even use Manziel as example because he's a rare moment to happen in the SEC.

I argue this until I'm out of breath. People won't ever accept that.

In the history of college football, compare the amount of freshmen/sophomores that are successful to the amount that aren't All-Conference players in their first couple of years.

I'd love to see an actual ratio comparing the two.

Doesn't really matter If this class was number 1 or not. We have guys in every position of need, and most, if not all are elite if you combine last years class.

Ultimately, the pieces are there for a championship team..but the game still needs to be played on the field. Just because bama's class is a couple points higher, guarantees them nothing. Actually, right now...they are scared in Tuscaloosa. The man got rid of almost his whole staff after losing TWO games. Knowing that talent makes Saban, I'm order to earn his new 7.5 million deal, he had to get the players. And he did..but it guarantees him NOTHING. I think he is waning personally, I just don't think they can keep up the same intensity.

Gus and sumlin are about to give him fits of rage. He should've left.

Saban is such a perfectionist, control freak I don't know how he isn't in a straight jacket.

daaaaaaaamn....... I thought I was bad

One thing i have confidence in is Cam getting the most from his QB. He got Flacco a 20mil deal. They fire Cam and the next year everyone wants their money back.

I agree. But I will say this Prom, those schools let these QB's play and make plays using their talents. I hope Miles lets Jennings and Harris play. You can't be afraid of them makin mistakes because it's part of the learning process.

Tubucoco, consider this. Those teams underperformed LSU. Sure, their QBs looked flashy. But that's not winning football. If you want to win next year, you have to protect the QB the way Miles protected JJ and Saban protected AJ in his first year starting. That's what great coaches do!

Both Manziel and Winston were REDSHIRT freshmen. NOT TRUE freshman. IOW, Jennings saw action in the year they were watching the games from home. Some of you need to gain a bit of freaking perspective.

First off the class is top notch 1,2,3 what's the difference.One thing i do like about this class that is not measured YET is the character. Eventually that translates to the field.(especially when the talent levels are very close)

love your passion, but Alabama got every one they wanted with very few misses. We got some great players but Bama got almost all great players. In a normal year I would agree with you, but this year Bama took it to a absurdly high level. We took a hugh leap compared to the rest of the SEC however other than Bama, we fell a good bit farther behind them when it comes to pure talent. Fortunately it isn't always great talent that wins games. It take coaching also. Look what happened to them vs Auburn and Okie. Got out coached and outplayed. We have a better coaching than them (other than recruiting) and can still hang with them on the field.
