Bama
I love Texas but you have to give Bama the #1 and all the accolades that goes with it.
First couple of series, the defense kept Texas out of the end zone and then the play before the half was huge.
McCoy got hurt and he's my son's favorite college player - but Texas didn't have an experienced backup either. Injuries are a part of the game. Texas took the approach this year of developing their future replacement true freshman at QB by giving him mop up duty and that came back to haunt them instead of having a junior or senior ready in reserve. That's fine, but if McCoy goes down in a big game, you live and die with the true freshman.
I'm not a Saban fan, but the team plays solid football and they don't give championships based on "ifs" so congats to Bama and Saban.
