Love their “we beat UGA the SEC is a joke”

Conveniently forgetting they lost to fricking Maryland.

In 2013 Alabama settled for the Sugar Bowl after missing out on the playoffs due to the miracle loss at Auburn. This was after spending two years as national champions

OU beat Bama and EVERYONE just knew the dynasty was over and they were regressing. Since that Sugar Bowl loss Bama hasn't missed the CFP and has played for the national championship the last 4 years.

Similarly, Bama lost to Utah in the 2008 Sugar Bowl after coming up short of the BCSNCG due to the loss vs. Florida in the SECCG. In 2009 they went undefeated and won the national title (coincidentally the last year Texas was relevant).

The point being, Bama didn't really give a shite about playing in either Sugar Bowl because it was a HUGE letdown after being so close to playing for a championship. (just like UGA didn't give a shite in last year's Sugar Bowl).

Texas may very well beat LSU. But using the Sugar Bowl game as some sort of predictive tool is asinine.
