You are doing a Bowl contest right? Right?
You know I like to win stuff.
(And I still think you talk too much.)

You bet, and we have certainly heard from a bunch of you that are interested in having the now seventh annual ‘Bowling for bowls of bowl game success (Bowler optional)’ contest.
Here are the rules:
Pick all the games below and we are using the point spread listed here. (If you do not understand the point spread, raise your hand and Tommy will come to your chair and hit you in the head with a tack hammer.) The only game without a spread will be the national title game.
Picks have to be in by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16.
You will get the number of points for each category; misses will NOT count against you. (Repeat: Misses will not count against you this year.)
Check back this afternoon for the list of games and the point values.
Deal? Deal.

Is this Alabama team the best college football team you have ever seen?
Thanks and count me in on the college football contest.

No.
It may be the best defense we’ve ever seen, considering the NFL stars at every level and the depth that this Tide defense has. In fact, this should be a lesson for all the hard-core recruitniks out there. As important as Signing Day can be for the program, the decisions made by players on whether to go to the draft or back to school is more important for the next season.
Alabama got four monster defensive players back heading into 2016, and all of them have been outstanding.
Here’s our top five teams of the BCS era:
* 2001 Miami was the most talented team we’ve ever seen.
* 2004 USC
* 2016 Alabama
* 2009 Alabama
* 2013 FSU
The numbers support a lot of those teams as amazing. And we don’t know if Cam Newton in 2010 couldn’t or wouldn’t have beaten any and all of the above teams.
