There isn;t much chance Miami is going to hand the Tide a defeat. Bamas second and third team talent is still better than Miami's and most other programs due to their recruiting classes. Its tough to win recruiting wars against such a high profile program.
Athletes want to play on winners on the Big Stage.. That is why they choose Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Georgia, and is the next tier of recruiting you have the other SEC Schools like A&M, Florida, Auburn, and USC, Oregon, Texas, Penn State, Wisconsin, and a few others.
Ya know what I like about the Bearcats? They get it done with all the leftovers. I looked at the recruiting classes grading and the highest graded player I saw was a 79. Yet they still manage to play at a reasonably high level and if it were not for POOR PLAY calling in last year's Bowl game would have beaten the Dawgs with far less talent.
This years recruiting class was no different. No big stars.. No top 300 players or top 500 players.
Yet they are ranked in the top ten whether rightly so or not..
This is why they play the game. And because of that, the fans of college football are the winners.
Good luck this season! Hope the Dawgs are as good aswhat people say they are. Should be exciting if so...
