    He and the Aggies are our only hope for stopping Alabama. A one-loss SEC team, especially one like Bama(who has a light SOS), won't get in over an undefeated Oregon, K-State, or Notre Dame. I'd rather play the later two teams over the Tide.

    Personally, I think Bama looks very beatable this year, and I'd rather play them in the championship if we make it. I'm tired of SEC fans bringing up Auburn and LSU, even though I thought we played well against both those teams.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a one loss SEC team plays over an undefeated team. They have a lot of pull with the NCAA. At least 2 years they had teams in the Natty that had no business being there.

    people do recall that Johnny originally verbally committed to Oregon right? Kelly certainly has an eye for talent

    He committed following Oregon's summer camp 2 years ago. Iirc Marcus committed just after he did

    I can't say I've watched him yet this year. Who's better between him and Mariota?

    Manziel is like a White Braxton Miller that can throw. He's more elusive as well.

    Mariota can accelerate and is taller in the pocket.

    Well that's what I think, otherwise the two are similar

    I think Mariota will probably have the better NFL career then.

    True, Mariota has more height whereas Manzeil is more like a White Vick
