Mississippi State at Alabama

The Tide has secured their fate in their own hands now. If they run the table, no one can keep them out of the National Championship game. They have a coach that has been there before in the same position, so he knows how to keep this team focused on the task at hand. Many will be looking at this one is a letdown spot for Bama, but there is no letdown spot when your playing for an undefeated season and the National Championship. If there's any lesson the past couple of years in College Football, it's that spots at the top are fleeting for teams that don't remaind focused. The Tide is turning back opposing offenses to the tune of 9.2 ppg at home and the Bulldogs have been enemic offensively, producing just 17 or less in six games. The defense was good early on but the rigors and wars in the SEC, the war of attrition has left this defense allowing 34, 34 and 38 in their three SEC road tilts. I think the Tide could very well keep the Dogs out of the end-zone here, and with the Bulldogs surrendering one of those 34's to an inept Vol's offense, touching 30 should be an easy task for the Tide. I like the big easy win for Bama here.
