Point out whatever you like. I was just pointing out the piss poor offensive ratings of Alabama's opponents.

Raw scoring averages are misleading. From pace of play to varying quality of opponents there are far too many variables involved.
Off S&P+ (which accounts for those variables) Rankings:
Arkansas #5
LSU #14
Ole Miss #18
Mississippi State #30
Tennessee #40
Texas A&M #49
Alabama completely shut down two of the best offensive teams in the nation.

LOL!!!
Arkansas and LSU aren't anywhere near the list of "the best offenses in the nation". Not even close.

We have. You just don't want to accept the results. You don't have any "great offenses" over there. That's why your teams get lit up by TCU, OU, T-Tech, and the tOSUs of the world.

How many defensive players has the BIG 12 put in the NFL in the last decade? *crickets*

Nice argument

Pretty sure Floridas defense is still good, not just (in the past)

You do understand that there have been 2 games this year between the Big12 and the SEC, right?
Since you seem to think ALL SEC defenses are great, how about you use those games to make some sort of comparison? Or do you not want to since it doesn't confirm your bull crap?

They don't wanna talk about those BIG XII losses they keep racking up, Poke. It disrupts the narrative.

If the game happens you will be facing an Alabama team with a lot of players that were out there last time we played and will be chomping at the bit to get at you.
Not to mention your defense got gashed by Derrick Henry. You had no answer. And he is bigger faster and stronger now than he was then.You will see him get more than nine touches this time and that will be too many for you.

I like how OU became the target of a Clemson thread.

Your players were "chomping at the bit to get at us" last time and put Bob in his place. They just failed.
Derrick Henry wasn't your starting RB last time and nobody prepared for him. He's all you have anyway. So what?
You had no answer for our speedy WRs, an average freshmen QB, and a makeshift Oline full of 2nd teamers on the left side. We're better in all those areas by light years than we were last time we met, including our defense, and Eric Striker is still here. You had no answer for him last time, and you still don't. Nobody does.

I think the best part about that game was ESPN leading up to it, and their response to it. It was like watching them simultaneously crown the home coming queen and present a eulogy.
After the game they just kept trying to pry that big foot from their mouths.

Alabama had no answer for Trevor Knight and your receivers because Alabama's defense and entire secondary was severely overrated that year and Cyrus Jones was in his freshman year. A&M, LSU, and Auburn consistently put themselves in position to score against Alabama in 2013. On top of that, McCarron threw 3 INTs.
Alabama's secondary and front 7 is light years ahead of the past defenses that would have struggled vs the HUNH.
I'm glad Striker is still on the team. Hopefully he still remembers when Henry ran a train on his arse.

I pretty much knew we were going to lose when Mark May said we'd win 48-20 or something like that

Yep. All we heard for weeks was we were going to get blown out and had no chance. Sooners jumping on and collapsing the ESPN stage while they stammered for their explanations and excuses in the post game interview was the cherry on top!
