A Few Questions Regarding Alabama's Treatment

1. Has Ohio State received much derision for their 0-2 finish? They're a historical program that was on a 24 game winning streak, albeit against garbage competition. Where's all the media and teasing for Ohio State? Why does Alabama just get this treatment?
2. Regarding Alabama's quarterback struggles, why is LSU thought of as the only team that can win double digit games without consistently good quarterback play? LSU won 10 or more games from 2010-2012 without having quarterback play that was consistently good quarterback play.
3. On that note, why do some of you have Alabama losing 3 or more games in the regular season?
We don't know if good leaders will step up or if the team will be more hungry coming off a 0-2 finish and ruined shot at a 3peat.
Furthermore, Alabama is still the best overall football program in the SEC; they've got the best staff who's great at game day preparation and recruiting. Alabama has been lacking in the game day coaching department, but that can be fixed.
If you're picking Alabama to have 3 or more losses, then I don't see how you can have more than one SEC team finishing the regular season with fewer than 2 losses.
No one's in a much greater situation than Alabama. Everyone lost key players. Alabama and LSU must survive the West gauntlet and play a healthier Florida. Auburn has a tougher schedule. Missouri returns few starters. Muschamp has a tough schedule and a lot to prove. South Carolina has major defensive question marks and has had trouble securing the East the past 3 seasons. Defense wins championships; Georgia has lacked both recently. Pruitt must prove himself. How good will the offense be?
Alabama shouldn't be the favorite to win the SEC West. In some regards, they deserve equal treatment to other big name programs when assessing their current team in the preseason.

1. No one in the media, outside of maybe Clay Travis, has been giving Bama shite for a two game losing streak
2. The frick are you attempting to say?
3. Because Coker and Sims suck...they're not even average

I feel like about 70% of people are picking Bama to go 15-0

Auburn loses their last two games of the year, loses their 3 year starting QB, changes offensive coordinator, and moves up to #2 in the preseason polls. Would you call that being slighted?

We have done so much right since Saban has arrived that everyone is tired of us. That really is all there is to it.

It's not like Doug was great; Alabama struggled or lost when the offense wasn't doing well and Doug contributed heavily to that. In 2012, Alabama should have ran the ball more versus LSU and Georgia and thrown deep more often versus Texas A&M. In 2013, Alabama should have utilized their greatest receiver/TE threats against Auburn's secondary more often. AJ's turnovers did not help the team's cause in the 2012 Texas A&M and 2014 Sugar Bowl; Doug isn't to blame for those, but it doesn't change the fact that his playcalling held Alabama back in big games against talented opponents.

So you literally just answered that question right afterward.
quote:

It's because we've already done it.
quote:
they've got the best staff
Saban > Miles
Cameron > Kiffin
Chavis > Smart. 2 out of 3 don't go in your favor.
That said, LSU is on a winning streak, and actually beat Auburn last year, while only being ranked 13th in the preseason.
Alabama should be treated just as fairly as LSU and ranked 15-16th or so.
