Is there a SDU as well as a SDSU? If so, why?

Yeah. Why I don't know. USD leans more for doctors and lawyers and graduate students. SDSU has a ton more kids.

Only 3 others think Arkansas will beat Bama? Comeon! BMFP will prove who the best coach in the west is and...Mallet will become the clear cut frontrunner for the Heisman.

Not only is there a South Dakota, they beat Minnesota the week before this last one.

Bama is one of the most complete CFB teams I've seen in a long time. They have a Heisman trophy winner at running back and his backup might be the better player. McElroy doesn't get nearly enough credit. He's not going to blow you away with his playmaking but he doesn't make any mistakes. He's the perfect QB for that team. The only question coming in was how their defense would handle all of the players they lost and I think that's been answered. I would be pretty surprised if anyone beats them this year.

I'm tempted to take Pitt but I can't ever trust Wannstedt either. I'm nervous about taking so many road teams.

I'm not taking anything away from Bama, and they're the better team, I'm not trying to argue that.

But....they're not infallible

I think that's very much still in question. They've faced 2 first year starters and San Jose State, and even beyond this weekend's road game, they have to go to South Carolina and LSU, not to mention home games with Florida and Auburn. I think smart money is Bama having two losses by bowl season, and one is pretty much assured.
