They won turnovers 3-0, didnt get called for defensive holding on a Pick 6 and Bama missed a chip shot FG.

I congratulate them for doing enough to win despite everything, though I think it was PFF that looked at statistical anomalies amongst teams winning despite being outperformed based on their predictive metrics and they flagged that game as one of the biggest outliers of the entire season in P4.

I actually think OU probably wins this weekend because Bama is a shell of its midseason offense and its at OU, but

Imagine being 19-7 and getting a contract extension

So Bama will lose 8 games in two seasons and give their coach an extension? Wow! Alabama hasn't lost 8 games or more over two seasons almost 20 years.

Unless they win the natty they will have lost 8 games over two years

Hey what do all think about Pete Golding ? Asking for my little bro!

LIFETIME CONTRACT!!!!

So the yard and TOP superiority is cute and all but it's entirely a function of not holding on to the fricking football

-OU scored three points the entire game that weren’t gifted by turnovers in Alabama territory
-OU averaged less than 2.5YPC and 6YPA. Against a top 10 efficiency defense it’s almost impossible to sustain drives with those type of numbers as Bama just proved in the SECCG
-You realize OU was negative in turnover margin for the year? The odds of going +3 on turnovers when you’re negative on the year are astronomical.
-The pick 6 itself was an uncalled defensive holding where the receiver, Isiah Horton was held and and wrapped up with two arms 8 yards down the field while the ball sailed into the arms of the safety who scored the TD while the ball was already in the OU red zone if it’s called bama scores and if he’s tackled OU statistically would’ve likely punted
-Bama missed a FG from the OU 18 on an uncalled hurdling the LOS call

So again, the game was a massive statistical fluke and anyone trying to avoid doing backflips to justify pissing on Bama knows it.

That’s not to say if Bama gives OU three turnovers and OU for one of the only times all year doesn’t commit a turnover while scoring on defense and returning a muffed punt to the 15 they wouldn’t win again (although even then despite all that Bama drove to OU territory to end the game when a FG would’ve won it. If those things happen again they’ll probably win at home.

But there is a good reason it was flagged as the biggest statistical fluke of the season in P4 to that point, and it’s because the odds of all of those things happening again are in the low single digits.

It’s also not to say Bama is as good as they were going into that game because they lost multiple key starters to injury and many more after, it’s just that any objective take on the first game would be that OU was incredibly fortunate to come away with a win.

Excellent!
