Just said that OU should be dropped to fourth and MSU moved up to 3 and if that happens Bama would breathe a sigh of relief with a match up of Bama and MSU.
 
I actually agree win Finnebaum on this one. Oklahoma is a harder matchup for anyone.

Pretty odd since the only thing MSU did was beat a slightly better than average team, and they struggled to do that. Based on his opinions about Iowa, MSU should drop in the standings.
 
I hate all things Alabama. Not being a fan boy of OK either, but Baker Mayfield is a terrible matchup for any D coordinator. He's like a powerful Johnny football. I've seen Okie up close this year and I think they are a versatile team that matches up well with anyone.
 
Most SEC/B12 analysts want that though. They see MSU/Clemson as the easier wins and think TV ratings wise, OU v Bama would be the biggest draw.
 
Everyone will now say MSU is the weakest link of the final four. Already heard Pollock say it this am.
 
MSU will beat Bama. Perfect matchup for them. They haven't seen a QB even close to Connor Cook (or CJ Beathard if that were the case). Bama is pretty weak at QB and MSU should be able to stop the run.

it's obvious after watching that game last night

watch Alabama destroy people, watch ou destroy osu

But conveniently ignoring how Iowa beat Iowa State who shut out and demolished Texas... And that Texas team beat Oklahoma, Baylor yesterday, and came close to beating Oklahoma State as well.

It would also be an interesting battle of ex-MSU coach Saban against Dantonio now too. Much like a battle of Iowa versus Stoops at Oklahoma might have been (but likely which wouldn't have happened though).
 
Alabama is a better team, and not that it really matters, but Sparty should be #2. 2 top 7 wins, and 2 other top 15 wins.
