It looks like on paper one would have to be a fool to pick Texas to win this game tonight but that's exactly what I am going to do. When you look at how dominate Alabama was against Florida and how boringly pathetic Texas looked against Nebraska recently, one would be crazy to bet against Bama. And Bama played a much more difficult schedule than Texas and beat those top-tier teams. Everything is pointing to a one-sided blowout of Texas. But defense wins games. And Texas' national rankings on defense are better than Bama's especially in areas where Bama is strongest. IOW, Texas is ranked higher nationally against the run (Bama's strength) than Bama is against the pass, (Texas' strength) although both are in the top 5 in those respective areas. And I'm just a contrarian at heart so I'm picking Texas. No one expects Bama to lose - except [edit:] Bama Texas fans and a few nutty contrarians like myself.
