Coach O has won me over, but if I'm a player and hes constantly talking about the need to beat Alabama, then I'm feeling a lot of pressure come Novembe

This exactly. Putting so much emphasis on one game is a lose-lose situation. If you lose, the players begin to check out because the failed their big goal for the season. If you win, the players feel like they've completed their big goal, and wind down.

Feels like this happens to a lot of teams.
