Alabama fans have been spoiled since 2008.
Your positive perspective is nice, but it is not the only one.

Since 2009, Alabama is 4-5 versus SEC West teams that finish the season ranked.
In order, wins include a 9-4 LSU, 9-4 Mississippi State, 10-3 LSU, and currently 9-3 LSU.
In order, losses include 11-2 LSU, 14-0 Auburn, 13-1 LSU, 11-2 Texas A&M, and currently 11-1 Auburn.
What's your take on that?
We can appreciate the opportunities that Alabama has taken advantage of and enjoy the glory but let's not disregard that 4-5 record.

shite happens against good teams sometimes and we've luckily been able to find our way into the championship game where we proceed to make the opposing team our bitch.

so we won 3 titles in 4 yrs coming out of what the toughest conference in America. What are the records for UGA,Auburn,LSU and SCar vs their respective conferences in the same time frame?

My take on it is that 2 of those losses came in 2010. We just didnt have a GREAT year.

2 of those losses came in NC years, so who gives a frick?

Last Saturday's loss was one where we just couldnt put away the win. We just werent meant to win last Saturday.

People can throw those kind of stats out all they want, but the facts are that we have won 3 NCs in 5 years, and we will probably only end up with one loss this year. I couldnt care less about any other stats. Most schools would kill to have that success.

This kind of stat nit-picking is quite pointless.

But my take is that we are actually 9-5 vs. SEC West teams that finish the season ranked. If you are going to try to make a silly point, at least get the stats correct.

Wins:
09 vs. LSU
09 vs. Ole Miss
10 vs. Arkansas
10 vs. Mississippi State
11 vs. LSU
11 vs. Arkansas
12 vs. LSU
13 vs. LSU
13 vs. Texas A&M

Losses:
10 vs. LSU
10 vs. Auburn
11 vs. LSU
12 vs. Texas A&M
13 vs. Auburn

So I will disregard that 4-5 record.

in essence, what you're saying is.

when bama plays another damn good team, its a toss-up. hmm.......genius, sheer genius. i guess considering the common thread is unacceptable. and that would be bama. bama was damn good this time frame. well, there was that 1 year. but it took how many other teams to make this comparison?
