Uh...

I guess if you want to ignore statistics, then yes, it isn't real.

Hint: There's a reason Saban won't go anywhere. It has EVERYTHING to do with the fact he fields the most talented team, by far, every Saturday, and he knows it.

There is literally NO REASON for that program to ever lose a game, yet every year they do.

Here's to hoping this is the game this year they lose.

1st team matches up well with bama but bama's depth is vastly more talented than ANY other program's 2nd teamers in cfb.


Why was this mocked and downvoted?

This is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

"Physical". It's the process isn't it? First you have your recruiting buddies establish that your recruits are 4 and 5 star players. Then if you soup them up no one can accuse of it because they are all the greatest players ever. Again, Saban wanted Moffit to come to Bama, but settled for an assistant of Moffit. I think it strange that the assistant is that much better at making players faster and stronger than others.

There are no other schools that can matchup 11 vs. 11 with Bama as well as LSU talent wise. Period

We match up better than them with The Ohio State and Clemson in the same ballpark. UGA will be at that level next year when their past two classes mature.

Bama is drowning in rat poison and there's not a damn thing the coaches can do. 7 yrs, ideal weather, 7 pm KO, save DW, a brawling bunch of P&G gamers, esp at QB, a torrent of rat poison...perfect storm: GEAUX TIGERS!!!

I can’t see NFL coaches saying that, because LSU is at the top of the NFL with players in it.

Wanna know how I know he hasnt actually watched a Bama game this year?


Cuz Bama's special teams units are average at best.

Keep trotting out the "unbeatable bama" narrative, fella. This win is gonna be so fricking sweet.

Our special teams is way better than Bama, with Tracy and Rosenberg likely making First Team All-SEC.

And Atkins is the 2nd best kickoff guy behind UGAs kicker.

Talent gap... 2016 composite recruiting rankings: #1 Alabama, #2 LSU.
I like to look at the juniors on certain teams, especially when it comes to these two since both lose so many early defections to the NFL. When you look at that #2 recruiting class, you see the likes of Williams, Fulton, White, Divinity, Lawrence. I don't see much of a talent gap.

Love the over confidence. These are amateur athletes and they are all over social media and sports media. Rat poison.

Going to be hilarious to hear Saban blame his fans and the media for over-hyping their team when they lose. Like the Sugar Bowl loss when Utah beat their arse and Saban goes on to blame everyone possible for not caring about the game.

Welp.
There you have it. Coaches and NFL scouts who know things about football.

May as well quit, now. No reason to play the game. Give it to them, why not?

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Tiger fans are beyond frustrated, we are angry. Those in the stadium MUST WILL this team to victory. This shite has gone on long enough.
