And Nick Saban will still manage to lose to the La Monroes of the world. That is just who he is.

No doubt Nick Saban is horrible against unranked teams. Interesting you should bring up that game from 2007. Do you know the last time Nick Saban lost to an unranked team? Also 2007. Against La Monroe.

During Freeze tenure at Ole Miss 2012-2016 he had 9 losses to unranked teams, including two to Vanderbilt. Do you know how many of those seasons he didn’t lose at least one game to an unranked team? Zero. In the two seasons he beat Alabama he also managed to lose to unranked Memphis and Arkansas twice. Counting this year, in six seasons as an SEC coach, Freeze has never had a season where he did not lose to an unranked team.
