:lol: :lol: Congrats!!! Bama is the best at beating overranked teams. The correct stat is Bama is 7-5 against top 10 teams in the last 5 years. So proof Bama isnt that great against good competition.

Well our point is the headline and the OP is useless. Might as well print, "LSU Football has found more leprechauns and unicorns then the rest of college football combined" It holds about the same amount of weight
