    This is what it really boils down to. Bama is boringly consistently excellent under Saban. The masses are not amused.

      Yeah, it's great.

      Which EPL team's motto is "nobody likes us || we don't care"?

      Anyway, Roll Tide.

          Ahh, 2011 (or why we now have a playoff).

          That was a fun year. Bama missed 5 FGs and lost 9-6 to LSU in overtime. That left undefeated Okla State, Stanford, and maybe even undefeated Boise as teams that could get the nod.

          The next week, Stanford lost by 23 to Oregon and Boise lost to TCU. This left Okla State and maybe 1-loss Oregon as the heir apparent.

          So, of course, the next week, Oregon lost to USC and Okla State lost to Iowa State.

          I don't believe in god(s) but that year made me think he existed and he wore crimson.

            LOL... bama is in as long as they have only one loss. Doesn't matter when or how... or who they even beat, they are in. There are rules and their are exceptions. Bama has the exception. Wisconsin would not be in the playoff if they had Bama's resume and timing of the loss.

              Every college football fan base cares about what people say about them. If Tide followers didn't care about it they wouldn't be responding to correct accusations about how they have gamed the system.

              If you win the title, it doesn't matter. Ifyou hold sway with the Southern Crooks who run college football, that doesn't show up in the record books. But it does cement how much better pro football is.

                1977. 1-loss Bama ranked #2 entering the bowls. We beat Ohio State 35-6. The #1, #3, and #4 teams lost. The #5 team lept to #1 for the championship.

                Football gods are just trying to make up for that miscarriage of justice.

                    If you are a warm weather team in the AFC, you can't avoid playing at Pittsburgh or New England in the winter to play Mercer. Alabama never has to worry about that.

                      The football gods gifted UAT NCs in 1964 and, most outrageously, 1973 and then immediately following 1977, gifted a 1-loss UAT team the NC over a 1-loss USC team that beat Alabama by 10 in ALABAMA.

                        Yes, cold weather would be the kryptonite to make Bama a weak team! College football was rigged to avoid colder weather simply for Bama's benefit!


                        Heh. Good stuff.

                          I'm 100% certain we'll never know. So, shrewd speculation on Froot's part -- hypothesizing about that which will never, ever, ever happen.

                            That USC team lost to Arizona State by two TDs the next month. Incidentally, that's when the playoff talk really started. Coach Bryant was a fan of a playoff and tried to make something happen that year.

                              It will happen if we go to a 16-team playoff - with prelim rounds on the higher seed's campuses. It was 18F in Tuscaloosa yesterday.

                                Yeah, I'm sure he did.

                                In any event, a 1-loss USC team and a 1-loss UAT team were the options -- and the two teams had played each other in Alabama.
