No.2 – “Alabama is on an NFL level”

Every year fans across the nation ask the same question, “can [insert the best amateur team] usually Alabama, beat [insert the worst pro team]?” This season Alabama is clearly the best college team in the nation. There honestly might not be a team that could come within 20 points.

    • Ohio State was ranked second in the nation and lost to Purdue. By 29 points! Does anyone think Alabama could lose to a 4-3 Boilermakers team by 29 points? Does anyone think they would even lose the game? No chance.

    Clemson now is ranked second. Both the Tigers and Alabama had a common opponent in Texas A&M. The outcomes?

    Clemson won by two points on a controversial call. Alabama, on the other hand, won by 22 points and that’s without Tua playing in the fourth quarter.

    According to records, there are a few teams that could be considered the worst in the NFL. San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders all only have one win.

    There is no question that Alabama is good, but most of their players haven’t hit their physical peak where every player in the NFL has. I’m not quite sure they could win, but I sure it would be entertaining television to watch.
