re: Why UA, AU, and MAYBE LSU fans should be happy about football...

Alabama is the pinnacle of talent no matter what year and the stats and overall consensus support it. So naturally, ANY TEAM Alabama loses to, whether it be a BCS team or a 3rd in the west, it is classified to some degree under the same category. Your question is somewhat rhetorical and heavily hypothetical to which is obviously, like I said, a witty deflection to my said controversially charged post.

I can't answer it under logical and factually supported circumstances. 2012 is the only year that really fits your description. Texas A&M's Christ was Johnny Manziel and he was the only player on that team besides 1 other defensive player that destroyed Alabama yardage wise on less talent. 2010, talent could be debated, seeing as Auburn was unusually stacked that year. LSU and Alabama talent is almost identical as evidenced in recent years and by following recruiting.


Some of this post could definitely be debated as well but I hope I took on your question as logically as possible.
