Very good point actually. Forget SOS, all you need is to be top 4 (or probably top 8 soon) and you're in the hunt.

My goodness Alabama fans are fricking delusional

obviously it should be easier for him to succeed there than at Alabama.
Better recruiting territory
Unlimited resources
Easier road to wining his conference
Upcoming playoff system which places an emphasis on winning your conference.
Saban has been tremendous at Alabama but has won the SEC exactly twice since getting there (2009, 2012) seven seasons ago. He can probably win the Big 12 at Texas more than 50% of the time and perhaps more.

The future is bright. Bama will be in the hunt every year.

The question was which place would be easier to do it at. We know Saban is great and Bama is great.

Alabama obviously. They're already at the pinnacle.

not with the bullshite "unwritten rules" they're going to use like winning your conf.
i don't agree with this stuff, but it's going to be reality
they may not have even made it in 2011

Bama was complete shite years and years before saban got there. Gumps have a sickness
Posted on 12/15/13 at 2:51 pm to genro
Incapable, you.

Remember Genro, these are the same fans that said Saban couldn't do what he did at LSU at Bama.

Who said that? I've literally never heard that even from the biggest LSU homers.

a few rantards who don't even post anymore, like TigerTap/Sammich...and that's a possibly
there is a reason the rant has a term "Sabanista"

I wonder if he would have snuck his way into the title game at Texas without winning their division like he did at bama

Saban would never be able to win at Texas with all those Big 12 teams in the way....
Because winning in the SEC is apparently easy.

I have NEVER heard anyone say that, just the opposite in fact.

Let's put it this way. Texas will not won their division. They will not make a conference championship game. Even if Saban goes there and gets them to #1

yeah i don't think these bama posters are really looking at 2 periods
1. the period before saban. we're talking what? a decade+ of mediocrity?
2. the run UT went on 2004-2009 WITH mack brown as their head coach
