Discount the OU game, it was meaningless.
Look at the dominate scores same Texas AM away. IMHO, this was Saban's best team, barely over 2011.
The Auburn game was a complete shaft job, not one bad call but 20-25 AND a dumb decision by Saban probably cause by a first down not being given at the Auburn 7 yard line up 7 with 5 minutes to go Saban goes for the first down when 3 point clinches the game.
Auburn got away with three or four men down field call while passing, the roughing call on the kick was not called. The two guys in the end zone, their player hit our guy with a swing to the head, all out guy did was push him in the chest. First downs on multiple occasions was spotted short.
We would have crushed Florida St.in that tile game easily.
I think Saban was "heading to Texas" and imho, thats the only reason I can think he did not take the FG, he was not thinking clearly. The story goes Mack Brown was supposed to say hes stepping down at a banquet, but he announced he was staying and sent word via his lawyer he would make trouble.
Thats why I say 2013 was his best team, I think it was overall.

I think part of being the best at anything involves playing with consistency and disciplined.
They played sloppy with VT. I know A&M was dominant at times with Manziel and Evans but it was possible to contain them and the defense struggled. MSU was another struggle game this time from the offense. Even with the bad calls in IB, once again another sloppy game and honestly not great play calling
That 2013 team didn’t play up to their great potential
