1. Why does anyone listen to Finebaum?
2. Who cares what any media pundit says? Ignore them all.

LSU beat: Tua, Trask, Ehlinger, Hurts, Lawrence, Jordan Love, and Jake Fromme.

Really let that sink in. Bama beat Fields, Trask, and Book. But got a walk-on at Georgia, a freshman at LSU, and a guy that threw 12 interceptions in 2 games against its best regular season opponents. Oh and the same Kellen Mond that LSU got benched last season.

All these factors influence games



ALL of this and add the schedule we played. By season's end we had beaten 6 teams ranked in the top 13 of the final top 25 season rankings. Our secondary would have matched up with them and our LB's would have given them trouble in the run game and passing game....just like we did in Tuscaloosa. On OFF, our WR's/TE and CEH would have feasted on their DEF.

Pretty sure 19 Bama was better than 20 Bama

Also, not playing in packed stadiums definitely had an impact.

It always has baffled me that ESPN hired this guy. Talk about a face for radio. His takes and analysis are awful and he obviously panders to Bama. Took me about 2 or 3 times listening to this guy and I immediately said no way.

Surprised, he gobbles on anything Alabama. He literally is the worst person paid to give a sports opinion. Turn the channel anytime he is on. Scam artist impersonating a sports analysis. He doesn’t even offer humor to a show.

I would agree.

Look, I'll give Saban and Bama a lot of credit for essentially keeping their entire program/team intact despite COVID. But as has already been pointed out, a lot of their opponents didn't.

When one of your toughest conference opponents (UGA) is playing a walk-on at QB, you know your schedule is merely a shadow of what a normal season is.

2020 Bama looked unstoppable because they were a team at virtually 100% strength playing teams at 75% strength.

This! Other than a worse quarterback, what's the difference between this year and last year's Bama team?

Lol just because everyone has bias doesn't mean one side cant be wrong. We have endless reasons why we're better. Your logic is borderline a product of a mental disability.

LSU beat Texas at Texas, Alabama at Alabama and Georgia in the Georgia Dome. I don’t see any significant road wins on Alabama’s schedule this year. Also, lsu beat Jalen hurts who started multiple games this year in the NFL. They also beat the likely first or second pic of next years draft. Trask is a push because both teams beat him. We also played every team at full strength and all road games in front of a full crowd.

Proof that he’s retarded. 20 bama was basically the same as 19 bama without a FULL NFL wr group and a better secondary. Plus I’d take college Tua over Jones 12/12 times. Therefore 20 bama was worse than 19 bama. I know it’s been stated before but I needed to get it off my own chest.

Interesting take, but I think you’re wrong.

I mean can't. I edited it. Obviously bias or not, what's right is right. 2019 is better and thats easily ascertained.
