Can somebody explain to me the 1972 Season?
quote:
Dye beat Bryant for a lot of recruits in the 2 years they competed, and that was not the case during most of Jordan's years either.
Bryant was worn out and tired. He even said he was not doing a good job his later years.
Not so much as being worn out and tired as it was not being able to guarantee recruits that he would be there for four years.

Bama's 1979 schedule: Baylor was a big game, or supposed to be. They had two superstars. I was there. I watched Dwight Stevenson (sp?) just erase Mike Singletary all night long. 45-2, I believe.
Bear wasn't doing anything sneaky or super-smart with the SEC deal. Nobody cared much. If they'd cared, they would have copied. They didn't.
Conference championships were a big deal in the Pac 8, the SWC, the Big 8, and the Big 10 due to bowl tie-ins. SEC and ACC did not have direct tie-ins. I just checked 1970.
Every SWC team (Cotton): 7 conference games.
Ditto Pac 8 (Rose). Ditto Big 10 (Rose). Ditto Big 8 (Orange from 1968).
ACC: irregular, like the SEC. See? Simple.
