If Saban had just stayed we could and probably would have won three in a row....

At best 2

we wouldn’t have won in 2005 even if we’d gone undefeated USC and Texas started 1-2 and ran the table. However I don’t think we would have gone undefeated anyway. I know people think mentioning Katrina is just an excuse for Miles, but having the first month of the season disrupted with 3 games moved is a BIG deal, especially for a control freak like Saban. So is playing 11 weeks in a row. Even with the doomsday machine he’s built at Alabama he’s only finished undefeated once.

I think Saban wins in 2006 but we don’t go undefeated then either. He loses 1 of Florida and Auburn but the schedule that year was brutal. 4 SEC road games vs ranked teams.

2007 he probably wins but would some guys that stayed have gone pro if we won in 06 and who does he have at backup QB? I don’t think he would have signed Perriloux who did have to play the SECCG
