Well Alabama still has two regular season games, but with one of those being against Western Carolina next weekend, I think it is safe to count these chickens.
12-2
14-0
10-3
12-1
13-1
11-2
9(10)-1 so far.
7 straight seasons never falling below 10 wins, unless of course a meteor hits Tuscaloosa next weekend.
Congratulate Nick Saban for putting together the best football dynasty of the modern age.

Man it's been a great ride. The crazy thing is that 10-3 team may have been the most talented of the lot

I believe will be the sole owner of the record for most consecutive 10-win seasons in SEC history if we beat Western Carolina next week.

Garcia had the game of a lifetime. The IB was...well...the worst fricking thing I've ever seen. I legitimately do not remember the LSU game.
The Capital One Bowl against Michigan State showed what that team was capable of doing. I think they crippled 3 QBs.

We had a lot of injuries in '10 too. A lot of them. Along with an inexperienced secondary and some complacency. But yeah, everything finally clicked in the bowl game.

tDecline is real

Hate to make excuses but injuries were probably the biggest issue. Secondary was definitely suspect but the front seven and the offense should've been good enough to overcome our weaknesses(as we saw vs MSU and first half of the Iron Bowl). Unfortunately injuries derailed that.

I think there were those who also said there were players on the team more interested in their draft stock than what was best for the team.

The starting O-line for the 2010 season only played like 7 game together and Bama was 7-0 in those games. 2-3 when one of them was hurt.

Glad I'm not the only one. I honestly don't remember a single minute of that game some how.

No. 2011 and it isn't close. McElroy at QB was not my favorite thing to watch.

The 2010 had AJ too bro. Basically everyone from the 2011 team was on the 10 team plus some key guys from the undefeated 09 team (Ingram Jones Carpenter Dareus). Talent wise 10 was ahead.
That said the talent was more developed and the 11 team had much better chemistry and benefited from experience.

Injuries were brutal in 2010, the bowl game showed what could have been.

I thought we were more or less referencing the starters. Not freshman and sophomores as backups

has anyone ever won 81 of 91 before?

Even if we're only talking starters, 10 > 11. '11 had AJ but '10 had Julio, Ingram, Carpenter, and Dareus
