I really think that's a 6-3 B12 team (assuming they get the injured KU QB that played most of the conference season). Crunching some numbers of common opponents and common opponent's opponents, I have us as barely a TD favorite. That means if we eff around and give up a big play, they'll be in the game. The bottom line: Bama is pretty good and I hope our boys will give them some respect in the Sugar Bowl, despite our disappointment in missing the playoffs.
