That is what you call ALABAMA ARROGANCE! In their finite minds there is no one equal or as good as they are as referenced by that poster having 26 NC's posted as his Sig Quote. That is utterly rediculus and assinign to even think that way. Like they all said if they lose they lost and if they win they won, as if there was no other Team on the field but them. You don't teach that kind of thinking it is bread in them and nothing can be done to correct it.

That is what you call ALABAMA ARROGANCE!

If you had 26 NC's you'd put them in your sig too. Hell, you're so awestruck, you're talking about them and they're not even yours.

Malzahn said it's the best Defense he has seen since coaching in College. He's an Offensive genius.

Anyone would if they were real. But that's not really the issue.

Auburn scored zero on Alabama's defense. Their defense gave up 9 touchdowns and the least points in a decade. You might want to revisit your analysis, then again you might not cuz it wont support your thesis.

As Mark Twain put it,"there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." Statistics can be manipulated any number of ways to prove whatever one wants them to.

Not all of them. Lou Holtz did though...

Links? Even if true, LSU had quite a few coaches on their jock as well.

LSU being nine points better is insignificant, and I'm not trying to make the point that LSU' s four point advantage on defense means LSU has the better defense. This just shows that the two defenses are fairly equal, the two offenses are fairly equal, and any perceived statistical advantage for Bama is solely due to a weaker schedule.

Just to add the stats to back up your quote read below. And yes I did post this in another thread but surely it does not hurt to see it again.

LSU's Defense is as good if not better than Bama. Bama has not played the schedule LSU has over the coarse of the year. LSU with Monday Nights Game will have played 9 top 25 Teams.

LSU will have played;
4 Teams ranked either #2 or #3 in the BCS Polls
5 Teams ranked in top 10 of BCS
9 Teams ranked in top 25 of BCS
LSU has beaten the Big East Champ WVU
LSU has Beaten the PAC-12 Champ Oregon
LSU has beaten the East Division Champ of the SEC Georgia

Bama's schedule comes no where close to that. In fact there has been no one in the History of College Football to play a schedule close to that except for the 1935 ND squad who played 3 top 10 Teams not top 5. So you see all this bull of Bama doing this and that is just that, BULL!

LSU will win Monday because they are the better Team more prepared over the coarse of the Year to play for the National Championship of College Football!

But stats against common opponents say otherwise. If LSU had scheduled Kent State and wing wong U instead of Oregon and WVU they'd be #1 in the nation in defensive stats. So what?

hey bro. I'm not here to say LSU doesn't have a quality defense, stats and play say you do...but it all adds up to say you have the 2nd best

We do have 26 nattys. I don't feel like listing them all, but if you just add 1 to each of Bama's years you have LSU's. This is equally defensible as your 26.

But under your logic the nov 5 game counts but the osu loss to iowa st. does not? Yes every game counts. Our loss on nov 5th counts as does OSU's loss shortly thereafter.
