Alabama -3

My logic here is simple: 'Bama is deserving of their #1 ranking and for reasons unbeknown to me the line is MONEY.

I literally only choose one POY, with last years being LSU in the Nat'l Title game -4.  For it to be a POY for me it has to meet very strict criterion: only ONE play this strong per YEAR per sport.  I'm so confident in these RARE plays that I tell all of my betting friends about it, give my logic why, and encourage them to bet on it.

Alabama's defense is brutal this year, stepping it up in a way I didn't really think was possible. 

Defensive Edge: 'Bama

Offensively JPW is so much superior to LSU's inexperienced QB(s) that it's not even funny.  JPW protects the football and very rarely makes idiotic decisions.  Unlike LSU, I doubt on the very first play from the line of scrimmage he'll start the game with a pick-6 (LSU/Georgia anyone???)

Offensive Edge: 'Bama

Intangibles worthy of mention are the coaching advantage of Saban.  Simply put, he is one of the finest college football coaches to ever grace the sport and is on a mission to prove that they're worthy of their #1 ranking.
