Alabama Fans: Do you still feel you had the best team in the country in 2013?

I continue to see "if only our kicker didn't suck we would have beat Auburn". As for the OU disaster I still see the excuse that "the team wasn't motivated and we beat ourselves".

Do you still think you were the best team in 2013 since many feel you would have throttled Florida St?

I thought our offense was gonna be a nightmare in a good sense, but I sort of knew our defense was gonna be shite.


So after that A&M game, I said to myself it's gonna be a long year, but nothing ever happened until kick six and Oklahoma. So TIFWIW.



However I still feel we would've beaten Florida State. Not because of any specific reason but just cause of one month preparation. Alabama is just a different monster after 1 month of game prep for a bowl game.

I never though that. Bama didn't have the defense to be the best. I thought that was kinda obvious.

Bama had the most talented roster but just never came together as a unit as in previous years.

Even had we won the Iron Bowl not convinced we would have beat FSU.

As evidenced by the performance against Oklahoma.

A game that few of them actually cared about. I can't remember which Alabama player it was, but he played on the '08 team that lost to Utah in the Sugar Bowl and was talking about our loss to OU in this year's Sugar Bowl. His exact words were, and I quote, "No one cares about the Sugar Bowl."

It's either national championship or bust now. That's where the Alabama program is at right now.

I didn't think we were the best, but I do think we would've fared better against FSU than OU because FSU is a pro-style offense and that is where Saban's defense excels. Where Saban's defense struggles is the HUNH spread particularly when Bama doesn't have strong corners. Our "best" cornerback, Belue, has already been released from two NFL teams. Compare that to previous years and it is obvious that this team was going to struggle.

Exactly.

AU was the only team in the country that was beating FSU in Jan last year. Bama sure as hell wouldnt have even if they were able to get past Mizzou.

I don't know if we were better than FSU, but I still think we were better than Auburn.

Sad bama players don't have the mental toughness to get up for a Sugar Bowl.

Reflection on saban maybe? Or the players just have lil balls and only beat inferior teams?

Prob both I guess.
