All valid points. That is the way it goes unfortunately. Yes Bama has won the last 3 out of 4, but they have had a lot of luck and help getting to that point. The two programs are neck and neck for being the two best teams in college football over the
. And believe that was the point of the original post.

So, anyone who might be worried that there is a widening competitive gap between us and Bama should think about how close the two programs actually are....literally two plays away from switching places in the national pecking order.


And two national championships.

if your aunt grew a penis she'd be your uncle. The gap between the 2 teams is very small except they have more NC bc lately the ball just bounces their way after they lose.

ETA: we all just had the aunt/uncle thoughts lol

Ignore the people who don't understand your post. You made a point and used specific info to support it.
Now the posters who don't agree with you, good luck with that...
I agree that the gap is fricking minuscule.

Oh look, Tiger(fig)_n_ATL has something negative to say about Les. I thought you would never show your face again after Les won the SEC in 2011 since you were one of the ones saying LSU would never win anything with Les as coach. Instead of being a man and saying you don't know WTF you are talking about, you continue to push your agenda of hating Les.

LOL.

So let me get this straight:

Saban, whose standard for winning an MNC the past two years involved:

1) Schedules that were two to three times WEAKER than Miles
2) A Mulligan (against Miles)
3) Losses AT HOME
4) Other advantages of having Bama alum running SEC officiating, etc
5) Saban doesn't have to win the SEC...Miles does..

Is head and shoulders above Miles?

You honestly think Saban could have taken LSU's schedules the past two years and still won titles?

I don't. Bama couldn't beat LSU and aTm last year in back to back games. Imagine if a Bama alum couldn't rig the schedules and Bama had to face Florida, LSU, USCe, aTm in back to back weeks, similar to LSU. Bama would have had two losses or more.

Not to mention the need for a mulligan against that "idiot" Miles in 2011.

If the standards were the same, where would Saban/Bama be? I promise you they wouldn't have won the MNC in 2011 or 2012.

Actually, change absolutely zero plays. Just change the media narrative and Okie State goes in 2011 and Kansas St (or Oregon) in 2012. A factor completely outside of Bama's control, the media narrative, has been the absolute most critical factor in them winning their last two titles.

The seasons could have played out PRECISELY the same way and with just different interpretations in the polls of the same events and Bama would not have won a title in either of the last two years.

It's that thin of a line between being an all-time dynasty and being just another very good team.

Excellent point as well.

Bama can literally thank ESPN. In fact, they should engrave the ESPN logo on both their crystal balls.

So sad to think this is what CFB has become.

I still LOL at the fact that Notre Dame was in the title game last year too. Anyone with a brain knew what the result of the title game was going to be. Hell, there were ACC teams that could have put up 40 on ND.

lol, Why did you edit my name? because I posted reality in a fantasy thread?

Fact is Bama won that shite. Nobody hates it more than me. Move on.

Being a tiger fan in the comfy confines of Louisiana is easy. Try wearing purple and gold out around here.

Nov 9 2013 cannot get here soon enough for me.

It's frustrating that LSU is so close to Bama's level but has a chicken bowl loss to show for it.
