To brag they have the top defense when we play high scoring offenses like OR & WV while they played penn st out of conference is what gets me though

Yes, that did skew the numbers. Against common opponents, the defensive stats were almost identical (but slightly in our favor) in points allowed, in Bama's favor in yards allowed and in our favor in turnovers forced.

Bama-LSU points allowed vs.

Florida 10-11
Tennessee 6-7
Ole Miss 7-3
Miss. St. 7-6
Arkie 14-17
Auburn 14-10

total 58-54 (avg. 9.7-9.0)

Bama-LSU yards allowed vs.

Florida 222-213
Tennessee 155-239
Ole Miss 141-195
Miss. St. 131-193
Arkie 226-254
Auburn 140-248

avg. 169.2-223.7

Bama-LSU turnovers forced vs.

Florida 2-2
Tennessee 2-2
Ole Miss 2-3
Miss. St. 0-2
Arkie 2-3
Auburn 2-2

total 10-14 (avg. 1.7-2.3)
