they are disciplined and they look good on TV.

5 turnovers vs ole miss
blown coverage on auburn field goal in iron bowl
Saban's poor clock management
criminals on the team
Saban screaming up and down the sideline because his players constantly screw up
and too many more to count

they ARE NOT disciplined, they are just another football team, but media (and fans) live in herd mentality and have concluded bama is very good, so every mistake Saban or the team makes is excused...if they 'should have' beat ole miss, they should have lost to A&M

They look good on TV because all of their mistakes are explained away and we are constantly told how great they look. Same could be said about 20+ teams with similar records.

I've watched it like 25 times in the past few days. I think he said "I would be honored to play that team again".

My favorite part is the slight delay between the winning FG and the band kicking in. It's so perfect. Tears every time.
