You're taking one season (two overtime losses on the road to heated rivals, really) and looking to make a pattern out of it.


Playing devil's advocate, they were also two plays away from 8-4 with one of Saban's most talented teams ever.

Any other coach and I'd say it's definitely over but Saban has definitely earned the benefit of the doubt.

Right, but they won those games.

If and buts and all.

This can also be reversed on LSU. LSU beat a putrid Auburn team by 4 and beat Arkansas (who was playing without their QB) by 3. LSU could've easily been 7-5 in the regular season if Auburn or Arkansas pick up a key first down in the fourth quarter of those two games.

Now do you see how idiotic that sounds?

If what you're saying is Bama wasn't as dominant as in year's past, then I agree. But you didn't say that. You just started harping on Bama's close victories.

Sure you are. BAMA has two last-second losses on the season and on the road and it's over.

LSU gets beaten 4 times and gets hammered by their arch-rival TAMU. Yet, the sky is the limit for the purple people.

Only on the rant dude, only on the rant.

horseshite!
Both O & Dlines were C- grades, and WR position became thin and unreliable.
