I don’t know what your point is. I never said Alabama should be knocked off their ranking now. You are obsessed with that notion, which is not all that important to me.

I simply predicted that in time, Oregon, a program I do not like, will rise to the top. I said that Bama has taken a small step backwards IMO from their recent excellence while Oregon had stepped up their game a couple notches. You replied in an insulting manner, which will likely be made to look foolish as time wears on. I never “lauged” at Bama.

But I will say this - college teams are vastly different year to year - so the fact that Bama was number one last year may, or may not, reflect this years reality at all.

OK. Fair enough I suppose.

No one said Alabama will never lose again, either. Just that they haven’t yet. I don’t think they will, this year, either.

Whether Oregon will rise to the top is open to debate, although they are very good.

All I want to say about being “obessed” is “1966”. Maybe I am, a little.

I don’t think that I was insulting, just that I laughed at the notion that Oregon was the best team. However, I you think that I was, then I apologize. It wasn’t my intention.

Just FYI, I saw Steve Spurrier play against Alabama once. I was selling 7-Up in the stands. I’ve always admired him, but I think he needs to get a litle better control of some of his players. You know who I mean.
