A lot is being made our of Les Miles 'lose-lose' situation vs Bama where if he wins, it's with Saban's players.

But a tough, physical loss for Bama could easily send them into a tailspin with Miss St and Auburn still left to play. Winning the bowl game is never a lock after a tough SEC season. A 4, 5 or even 6 loss season would not look good for Saban, especially if he loses to Auburn.

So I wouldn't say Bama has nothing to lose in this game. It could ruin their otherwise good season and impact recruiting.

LOL... do you really believe that Alabama is going to lose its next 4 games?

Alabama was picked by the national media to go either 7-5 or 8-4 this year.

If we lose to LSU and Auburn then we will finish exactly as it was predicted.

If we win either of those then we finish much better than expected.


Now on the other hand if we actually win both of those games then it will be a disaster for both LSU and AUBURN.

There is no pressure on Alabama to win this game other than the hype.. Sure we want the win. Sure we want a chance to win the West and go to Atlanta... But noone in the national media expected us to before this season started.

How did Saban's players fare at Michigan State in 2002 ,Bobby Williams' 3rd year after Saban ?

No, the pressure is all squarely on Nick Saban. Bama did not pay him $4 million a year to lose 4-5 games a year. Not even in his first year.

Didn't Saban win his first SEC Championship with Dinardo's players? Isn't Saban winning with players Shula recruited that were on a team that only loss 2 games 2 seasons ago.

That's right, because Dinardo and Paul Hackett split the 2003 National Championship.

Just like in 06 when LSU was predicted to lose 2 games because of the tough road schedule, and when that happened those same people who made those predictions, for some reason, gave Miles shite for not winning it all.

Even if you do as predicted, some people will totally bash you. Oh wait nevermind, that's just Miles.

It's not only Bama fans that will say this, but sadly a lot of LSU fans will say the same thing.

He lost to UAB when he was here. UAB.

He also lost 3 out of the last 5 in 2002. We were 6-1 at that point, then got handled, soundly by Auburn (31-7), then you guys (31-0, I'm especially POd, because I was there), and finally a gutwrencher against Arkansas 21-20).

Dude's not a strong finisher. Lost his last game here on the last play of the game, then blamed the player. Good luck with it, though, for the money you're paying the guy.
