Why is everyone convinced Current Bama won’t revert to season ending Bama?

I think Bama who went into 4 OT against a one legged TJ Finley led Auburn is who we going forward. . I think Bama was just in Georgia’s head the same way that Ohio State used to be in Michigan’s head. Cinncinatti is a formidable opponent. Can we agree that both LSU and Auburn realistically could have won against Bama. Furthermore Texas AnM was a decent team with a back quarterback and they beat Bama. I think it’s lazy to say Cincinnati doesn’t stand a chance.

They don’t have running game. And they are down a starting receiver. That would gender them against a good team let alone an undefeated well rounded team

Because the "what have you done for me lately" rule is in full swing. We just dusted the "best defense ever" like it was just another Saturday. Some people believe that our team finally "gets it" now with each other and are clicking... and it just took the road we've been on to get there.

The more I look at Cincy, I think they’re going to muck it up a bit for Alabama’s offense but I’m not confident they’re going to move the ball enough to win.

Alabama ought to cover if they can run the ball effectively again (healthy BRob, maybe a 2nd guy emerges as an effective runner, etc). That’s a big if…but Cincy has been vulnerable to the run.

I'm not. This Bama team is inconsistent. We will see.

No assurance at all. Alabama happened to match up very well with Georgia, but is not a dominant team...

... that said ... Alabama won all those stupidly close games except A&M which was partly due to some pretty monumental self-destructive plays. Winning counts.

I don’t think anyone in convinced of anything — but I don’t see them reverting. They dismantled UGA when they were decided underdogs.

Don’t bet against Saban in the CFP. You’re only asking for stomach pains and heartburn if you do.

Even end of season Alabama is better than peak Cincinnati.

I don’t get the “Season-Ending Bama” deal when they’ve ended the season national champions 6 times in the last dozen years or so.

end of the season alabama is the best season in program history for most schools.

Hate Bama but no team in the playoffs has a Bryce young...

You can just tell young will do whatever it takes to win....even if he has to pass for 500 yards and rush for another 100

Let's say u somehow drop 42 on bama..young will make sure they score 43+

Let’s not start this again.

Everyone just spent a week counting them out. They proved everyone spectacularly wrong.

We could play this same game with Cincy. They have struggle wins against 2-10 Tulane, 2-10 Indiana, 3-8 Navy, and 6-6 Tulsa. In fact, every ranked team not named Georgia has had 3 or 4 WTF performances. But I think Average Bama beats Good Cincinnati

I have worried about this but the more I think about it the more I think it won't happen. This year's Bama team seems to have finally found it's mojo and they have 15 practices before the playoff.

The man has a point. Only team to beat Alabama didn’t let Young touch the ball last.

Our starting RB was just named 1st Team All-SEC a couple of hours ago.

How does Cincy's OL and DL match up with Alabama's? I think that's most of what we need to know. (edit: and we know)
