It's the toughest division in CFB the last 5-7 years
5 BCS Champs come from the West the last 7 years
Not to surprised really, especially with the grind

I think Bama is 11-2 against top 10 teams lately and this is what wins you Title games. Plus, not losing to inferior teams like a 5-6 Iowa St or even SC losing to a team like Tennesse this year hurts bad. These kind of loses kill your chances for anything. There hasn't been a CFB champ since like 1950 something that's lost to a team with a losing or .500 record. I think some act like they've never watched CFB before or there's a bunch of youngsters here.

Thanks for answering the question.


4 of those losses came in the Saban and Iron Bowls during years where the SEC West was deep and competitive.

Selective stats? Overall, Alabama hasn't been stellar in November during the BCS era. Saban's Alabama saves their best football for other months and games.
