Think of the potential of what those young players can develop into besides what McCarron is capable of becoming in the next two years. Add in the DE and RB recruits and receiver Robert Foster that Saban has coming on line next year and the only thing that can slow Bama down is to start making them play on Sundays. On yeah, 16 of the 19 Bama Nat'l Championships were pre-BCS, so bring on the playoff system, it won't change a thing. By the way, how many ND players stayed on the ground for a while after a play. I don't think I would tick off either line by intentionaly hurting McCarron. Here's what can happen to you, Alabama @ Missouri 2012 Football - Bama Player body slams Mizzou Player - YouTube And that's with a 32 point lead.

As of now, there are three levels of NCAA Div 1 football 1. Alabama 2. SEC 3. Everyone else
Did you by chance look at those out of conference games? I haven't but I do know that traditionally, the SEC teams play nobody out of conference. Who did "Bama play OOC? I know they played WKU and I think the played Louisiana Monroe. Not really a powerhouse of OOC opponents. LSU last year actually grew a set and went on the road at WVU and I believe Oregon. They played decent teams, that is far from the norm in the SEC. EXACTLY THE REASON THERE NEEDS TO BE A PLAYOFF. You can start the season ranked #1, avoid playing anybody outside your conference and play for the national title. That is why the college football post season is a joke. It is a popularity contest and has nothing to do with settling it on the field.

BTW, I believe that video is typical of SEC football. Saw it from Florida a few times recently as well. Keep it classy SEC.
