I'll give Bama this. In 6 of Saban's 7 seasons, their losses have been to either the eventual national title winner, national runner-up or in BCS games. Saban has lost 2 non-CG BCS games.

You can go ahead and make it 7 of the last 8 season's because no way is Saban is coming within a camel's dick of Ohio State this year.

When you buy 5 star recruits at every position, you should win every game. Especially with their joke of a non conference schedule.

The biggest advantage is being able to "cut" guys every year. It's a lot easier to have depth when you oversign every year.

No kiddin'! Ole Miss is currently reaping the benefits of signing 35-40 kids per class.

Florida is a good example of what happens when you can no longer oversign. They want from national title contenders to below average program once they announced they were ending the practice.

Shouldnt other places be able to use their oversigning as a tool to talk them out of going there?

If you are a recruit and college A oversigns and you have to not only compete for a starting spot, but also for a spot on the team, doesnt a college like OSU/Michigan have an advantage on that same recruit that he is actually on the team?

The people getting cut are not the new recruits; its the older players that don't pan out.

IMO not with kids who think they're going to be the next star. They never think it could be them.

Not when new cars and $100 bills just happen to show up at your house the day after you sign at Alabama.

A lot of Twitter chatter than Braxton wants to play in a pro-style offense. FSU would unfortunately fit that profile.

I'm honestly fine with Braxton going wherever, just not to Florida State or a top SEC school because I want to root for him wherever he goes, haha.

Not surprised about Jameis. Although there were some rumors going around yesterday that he was staying.

And by next season, half of those won't be on the roster. Either won't qualify, or will be moved out for next years stars.
