This is through 5 games:

Alabama

Pass YPG-212.8 (80th)

Rush YPG-188.2 (40th)

Scoring Offense 40.2 (20th)

Scoring defense 7.8 (1st )

 

Notre Dame

Pass YPG 211.00 (84th)

Rush YPG 187.4 (41st)

Scoring Offense 28.8 (62nd)

Scoring defense 7.8 (2nd)

 

Pretty damn close. Just thought it was interesting.

Obviously the scoring offense is the BIG difference.

 

Honestly, if I could pick, I'd rather play Bama in the NC game than Oregon.

I agree, I would say it was skewed a bit but they scored their least amount of points against Western Kentucky 35 and ole miss 33. Lol

I was going to add something similar in considering the opposition's rankings when comparing the two teams.

record of opponents--

 

ND - 16 - 11

 

Alabama 13-13

 

just sayin'

Speculation is fun ---if it came to that, i would MUCH prefer playing alabama over Oregon--

Also Alabama beat a 1 and 4 Florida Atlantic by a score of 40-7.

 

Florida Atlantic's lone win? Against Wagner, 7-3.

yup! our strengths on defense are better suited to Alabama's offense

I'd rather play Oregon. It's suspect and gimmicky. Inject a lil Teo and it falls apart.

I think we match up better with Alabama. I know Oregon really hasn't played anyone yet but they do play really up tempo. I would not want to try to defend that offense. That offense would keep me awake at night if I was a defensive coordinator. Alabama on the other hand, you know what you are going to get from them. Line em up on both sides of the ball and just play smash mouth football and try to out will your opponent.

The best part is in a couple years BK will have an Oregon-esque offense and Alabama-esque defense. Should be fun to watch...

That's what I'm hoping for as well!!!

Stop this right now... totally premature.

Alright, since it is obvious we are going to run the table and win the national championship this year... Which is more impressive, Bama's run in 2011 or ND's run in 2012? :peace:

I rather play stanford...

'Bama also scored 40+ on Michigan with relative ease...

Correction Alabama scoring defense 7.0 sorry. I am sure you all knew what I meant. Ha

Not meant to look ahead just thought it was interesting how we are trending sense everything is gauged off of the SEC...

Bama had 1 loss in 2011 so if ND runs the table this year I would say that would be more impressive....especially if ND beat Alabama in the BCS NC game.

Individual games are occasionally useful for comparing two teams. But if you are going to state Alabama is much better than ND based on the Michigan game, you need to state that Texas is much better than Alabama as they beat Ole Miss worse and Texas A&M is better than Alabama as they beat Arkansas just as bad, but with Tyler Wilson.

IMAGINE the ratings for a ND vs. BAMA Championship game!!!!! EPIC!!! 2 historic programs going at it!!!
