Tom trying to use Saban’s time at Michigan State as a knock against him is an odd take. Michigan State was sub .500 three of the four years before he arrived. It was sanctioned by NCAA and had scholarship reductions starting the year he arrived. They never finished below .500 while he was there and were beating #1 Ohio state and competing for the Big Ten by the end of his tenure there. Pure ignorance to suggest it was anything less than a masterful coaching job.

If there was a school of Bama hating, kanel would be the principal with several doctorates………

Michigan is barely above 50% blue chip ratio. Clemson and FSU have won with a bcr that low but they did have a few players with much higher upside than the team as a whole. Alabama has reached insanely high 90% bcr? Did I read that right? Why are we talking about Saban's coaching ability? One of these two made Stanford a NY6 team and took a team to the super bowl and the other is at a school with a lot of $$$'s and knows how to spend them.

Kanell believes Bama was dominated by Texas who won by ten but it was close when Bama beat USF by 14

This is a hard game to pick. I was on michigan but I’m terrified of Jalen Milroe

Dude Michigan has 0 chance of blowing Bama out I want what you’re smoking

Jabrill Peppers didn't even dress vs FSU in the Orange bowl so no players did not care about bowl games back then too

Alabama was near Georgia's 30 on their way to scoring another touchdown in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter when they went into the victory formation

These idiots hate Bama. It is hilarious

I’ve watched 30+ preview videos from nobody’s to big time podcast/channels this is the first one that’s been more pro Michigan all the others have picked Alabama even the Michigan podcast haha so I’m not seeing Bama hate everyone has picked Bama except Vegas they still have Michigan as the favorite…

Bama is a sitting duck

J.J. Was so bad against Penn State that they didn’t let him pass for the rest of the game. He was only 7 for 8.

They be hating on Bama so bad

Texas A&M has 4 potential first round picks on d line. This is not the best front Bama has faced Also, not a lot of close games fir Michigan because most of the BIG10 is worse than vanderbilt lol

Unfortunately (and the podcasters brought it up) injuries happen and I’m not an advocate. Based on what has happened over the course of the season which team is most prone for injury? It may decide the outcome of the game a la Colt McCoy

LETS see how many of these guys come back and do videos after BAMA wins!

Alabama 31 Michigan 13. Wolverine WRs will get no separation. Jalen Milroe with have a completion percentage under 50% but 2 rushing TDs.

Ok a lot of talk about Bama's O line getting better at the end of the season but not one person calling out the weak back end of the schedule for Bama outside of the Georgia game. Michigan will be able to stress the Oline in the run and pass and really test how much better they might be

I guess Danny never watched Ohio state or Iowa game ? Only reason why beat Ohio state 2int.

Danny Kanel is still mad that his Florida State is not in. They would have been boat raced.

I mean a rewash the Maryland game watched the Alabama Auburn game. We watched the Georgia Alabama game and I truly believe that Michigan looks so great on defense because they have not faced. The offense is able to put up points all year. I mean when they went up by seven against Iowa you say that again Iowa in their championship game everybody knew the game was over then that’s how anemic some of the offices are in the big 10. Of course you’re gonna have great stats that’s why they look all world cause they’ve been playing against the junior varsity, history has sold us when big teams run up into the big boy SEC league they do not farewell Nick statement is eight and one against Big Ten teams the one loss coming to Ohio State against urban Meyer who was the SEC coach that came to Ohio State! Every other big team played he blew them out! You think it’s just coincidence and if you count the Notre Dame the Cincinnati if you can count the TCU who got crushed by Georgia team do not farewell this SEC teams and I know that this is not the typical Alabama team but they are still top-tier SEC team they just don’t look as dominant because they had quarterback issues in the beginning of the year. They don’t have that issue anymore.

any other year a 12-1 SEC champ is an absolute lock for the playoff. They actually got unlucky this year was such an insane outlier with undefeated champions and having another playoff conference champ on the schedule week 2. Also a lot of revisionist history around Alabama teams that won it all, many of them played close games with bad teams. And got extremely lucky to even get a shot at the championship, acting lol This team is an outlier in that regard is crazy

Did Bud Elliot say that Nick Saban has been better than Harbrough in the college game, uh duh good take Sherlock

I think I'm over listening to these guys lmao.

Bama 42-13

Bahahha this fool just said Michigan "could" blow out Alabama 37-7... What a casual take! Neither one of these teams are scoring over 35 on the other.

This is tough because can’t trust Harbaugh in a postseason game ever but milroe is also terrible at quarterback. will be a weird game!

"Mccarthy didnt have great days against those teams" Ohio- 16/20 80% completion PSU- 7/8 88% completion How in any way does that show he's not ready for Bamas defense?

Jeff Garrett I hope Michigan wins I really hate Alabama.

Bama will lean on their defense and win a third straight game 27-24

THANK YOU! Damn man! He has BETTER PLAYERS and COACHES! He’s not this strategic genius!

Harbaugh at Stanford 29-21 2 Bowls Best season 12-1 Saban at Michigan State 35-23-1 4 Bowls (Bowl eligible all 5 years) Best season 10-2 Basically equivalent records

Auburn ran outside zone schemes with RPO and then moved chains on 3rd down with simple slants… go watch…

Definitely going to be a better game than GA vs FSU and Mizzu vs Ohio. Auburn was horrible vs Maryland so makes me wonder about Bama.

I will be boycotting the CFP hope yall enjoy

It's not that hard of a pick. This whole thing that Michigan is even good is crazy. UGA should've been in instead of Michigan if we want to be honest. Michigan is the weak link out the 4 teams competing. Bama wins by 17. They haven't even played their best ball yet and that's scary to think about. Michigan is gone be humbled on the big stage again

Sounds l Iike a bunch of Saban haters. You know damn well saban has Coaching edge

These guys just never learn do they?

Incoming Bama hate

It was so crazy is how Imboden Michigan fans are who have never won anything in the past but 30 years? I mean when we play LSU I was worried we play Texas A&M. I was a little worried we play Ole Miss. I was worried when we played Georgia I was afraid I wouldn’t talking about the side of my neckbecause I understand Football apparently because this is their best chance which is still no chance at all they are talking up speaking up they have no shot. This is the first game this season out about four or five games and I’m not remotely worried about.

Bama Over This is going to be ugly.

Jesus Danny is insufferable

Who is the billy goat gruff in the top left? He makes me laugh. You can tell he is the least respected of the group. Sort of makes him endearing, but at the same time he's such a goober.

bama needed a hail merry pass to even finish with 1 loss, Alabama isn't as good at people think, and Michigan is better than people think. Corum will be able to run the ball, If JJ can play Like he did in the middle of the year, it will be a good game. Running QBs scare me, one good hit and they are out.

These people are the absolute worst

Michigan dont have a chance like FSU vs georgia
