I have some advice for the Crimson Tide this week. Do not take the Bulldogs lightly. Do not have a letdown from LSU and winning the West. Do not let Anthony Dixon get 125 rushing yards. If two of those...

SURE, WE’RE GETTING ahead of ourselves here. Oregon State still needs help, and they still need to win out. And Oregon still needs to uphold their end of the bargain against Arizona this coming Saturday. We know all of that. But we also know this -- the stars look to be lining up.
