Last year Oregon was scoring a point a minute until they played Auburn. My point is this that when these type of offense play for all the marbles they do not do well.
I truly think this will be an entirely different game.....both coaches will open it up and of course I think Alabama will win. I do not see this going into OT
But let me ask all you fans something is a 6-6 game not as good as a 35-35 game. Both Alabama and LSU have scored tons of points this year except when they played each other.
Everyone talks about OSU blowing out OU.......NOT even though the score was lopsided. OU GAVE them points, the QB could not hold the ball in his hands with no one around him. 21 points off of turnovers two QB dropped balls and 1 RB fumble and we all admit OU does not have a defense.
I guess it is just in how you look at it...Offense puts butts in the seats but defenses win Championship.
For the sake of arguement what if Alabama wins 31-14 what happens then?

You keep bringing up historical data. Stop. If you want to use historical data, then here's some for you.
9-6
But hey, if the final score has more than just field goals in it, I suppose that will appease some people.
Yes, defense wins championships. And yes, offense will often put seats in the stands. But what really sells tickets AND television viewership is great matchups. Seeing two teams play who match up very well on both sides of the ball is infinitely more entertaining than watching two amazing defenses play two mediocre offenses.
