Not as well as Saban would like I'm sure. I think they'll get better. Do you think anybody in the BIG12 would beat them?
Big 12 Defenses
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
You didn't answer my question. So you think they have played defense this year but just not as well as Saban would like?
This is why your affinity(and expectations) for defense will continue to morph.
How the spread offense conquered college football, from Hal Mumme to Joe Burrow
When LSU won the national title, it became official. There was no longer a "spread offense revolution"; the spread had won and it's just what football is now. Here's how we got here and what could be coming next.
They played a pretty good second half of D vs Georgia. I think they'll find their way.
Total defense:
1. West Virginia
6. Oklahoma State
18. Baylor
20. Oklahoma
25. Iowa State
26. TCU
40. Texas
59. Kansas
60. Kansas State
61. Alabama
73. Texas Tech
Alabama is only ranked ahead of Texas Tech in total defense! Lol
Do I think the best defensive team in the country is better than the #61 defensive team? Yes
Alabama doesn't play defense this year
Maybe they'll meet a BIG 12 team in the CFP so we can see head to head? LOL. Just kidding....no we won't.
No Big 12 in the CFP. Defenses are too strong and beating each other up
Sunbelt had nothing to do with CFP. If Iowa State wins out they're in
Not over another 1 loss P5 team (or undefeated Coastal Carolina - SunBelt proved their point). If the Hawks win out they're in! LOL
If Iowa State wins out they're in. No question. Moot point I think they lose this Saturday anyways
Alabama is trash on Defense this year. So how can you say what you said
So it's wrong for me to think that Alabama is better than anyone in the BIG 12? I said they need to get better on defense and I think they will. I don't think they start a single SR.
You said you weren't impressed with teams that don't play defense. Alabama doesn't play defense this year
No it's fine to have that opinion. I'm just calling out your hypocrisy of saying they will be fine for the CFP but if it were Oklahoma you'd be hammering them cause of the no defense situation.
How in the hell is Texas Tech in the top 100? They gave up 572 passing yards to Houston Baptist
